+1;
also, I'm curious, is it going to have similar gameplay to Providence (with keyboard movement and minimalistic puzzles)? Or is it a "pure" point and click adventure game? Or something totally different?

It's a "pure" point and click adventure. Inventory, mouse clicks and some hopefully challenging but fair puzzles!

Just happy someone is watching!

Looks even smoother than your last game and the concept is intriguing. I'll have to go back and grab Providence now. :O

AnasAbdin · Mon 16/02/2015 05:43:50

Knowing that a new game is being produced by SeamanNaranja means it's gonna be awesome. If it's not for the rules of this forum, you don't really need to show screenshots or anything... Congrats and best of luck completing this piece of art

You are always too kind AnasAbdin!

selmiak · Mon 16/02/2015 12:02:32

absolutely on my watch-out-for-list!

Stupot · Mon 16/02/2015 14:08:34

This looks great. All the best.

Grim · Tue 17/02/2015 10:22:51

Awesome way to introduce a game!!! (I hate it when people go on and on and on; you didn't)

I'm very interested.

NickyNyce · Tue 17/02/2015 11:27:02

Looking really good. I love the colors and futuristic setting.

LeafThief · Tue 17/02/2015 15:15:56

Looks good. I really like the look.
Wondering whether the format will be as poetic as your description because I think that would be totally rad

Keep it up!

SeamanNaranja · Wed 18/02/2015 21:09:27

Thanks a lot guys! Really appreciate it

LeafThief: The game will definitely have poetic qualities even though it will be more like a collection of short stories!

SeamanNaranja · Sun 15/03/2015 19:00:51

New screenshots!

Also updated progress in first post.

ThreeOhFour · Mon 16/03/2015 05:03:38

This looks great. I want this.

Cassiebsg · Mon 16/03/2015 16:17:46

Looking forward to it!

Screens look great!
Keep up the good job.

It's edging closer
Hjarta has code,
almost all of it.
Cutscene animations are done,
the music implemented.
Playtesting is just starting up,
a new website is out.
Stay tuned for a trailer,
sometime next month?
A summer release is still
very much on the cards.

SeamanNaranja · Sun 14/06/2015 19:09:23

The game is coming together.
Updated progress in the first post.
Oh, and there is a teaser trailer out for Hjarta today...

This is it:

AnasAbdin · Sun 14/06/2015 19:26:05

What is that feeling i have in every atom in my body? I don't care... it's an awesome feeling. Thanks for introducing me to a new feeling

really great video. Glad to see progress!

Ibispi · Sun 14/06/2015 20:36:57

Nice trailer.

CaptainD · Sun 14/06/2015 21:35:07

Nice! Like the look of this one.

Stupot · Mon 15/06/2015 02:37:21

Cool trailer. Can't wait to play this

I'm not too keen on the font used for dialogue, though. Maybe you're planning on dealing with it later, but I think something bolder would be better.

SeamanNaranja · Tue 16/06/2015 12:42:56

Thanks a lot guys!

It is really just a place holder right now.

SeamanNaranja · Tue 04/08/2015 09:43:24

The game is almost finished and ready for release. I'm working hard on the final beta test right now as well as making a release trailer that will come out together with the game. I'm aiming for a release in august, probably near the end of the month!

AnasAbdin · Tue 04/08/2015 10:03:03

I was so eager to see an update from you... and then this?!?!?

YES!!!!!!!!

Dualnames · Tue 04/08/2015 15:41:47

Looks really interesting, i'm heavily intrigued.

Mandle · Tue 04/08/2015 16:18:51

Looking forward to what looks like something chisled out of the ether by a true craftsman...

SeamanNaranja · Fri 14/08/2015 08:47:58

Thanks guys! Added some new stuff to the game including a new hint system and a lot of bug and animations fixes as a result of beta feedback. Release is still on for late august!

SeamanNaranja · Sun 06/09/2015 21:39:02

Hjarta is practically done. Added an auto save system and some other touches and final testing is going on. The game will be released on sunday the 13th of september!

MyEakinBack · Tue 08/09/2015 03:06:40

I had the privilege of testing this and it is a beauty. It is definitely worth the wait, as a lot of effort has gone into this.
