Hey everyone! I wanted to take a moment to let you know I'm pausing our Patreon for the foreseeable future.
I have such enormous appreciation for everyone who supports Rolling Hills, and as a result I don't want any of you paying for sporadic content. To be blunt, when a devlog is lacking or I don't write enough Patreon-only posts in a mon...

With big progress on the life-sim and town side of Rolling Hills in May, June was spent implementing the core restaurant gameplay. That means adding depth to recipes, customers, ingredients, and more. Let's dive in!

Howdy, everyone! I hope you're staying strong and finding time for yourself. We've had a very busy month, so I'm happy to have this chance to reflect on it.
Nothing makes me feel more like a real g...

Look, I don’t need to tell you that it’s been a busy month. The fact that I’m posting April’s devlog in May should tell you all you need to know about that 😅
The good news is that there are really exciting things happening behind-the-scenes on Rolling Hills. The project is growing and evolving every day, and April conti...

I doubt you need any reminders about what a crazy month it’s been, so I’ll just say I hope you're taking care of yourself <3 Let’s get started!

Normally I post these devlogs closer to the end of the month, but since we'll be out of the office then, I figured I'd go ahead and update you now. Hmm? Where will we be? Oh, that's right. We're going to...
That's right, th...

Welcome! I hope 2020 has been good to you so far. We've done our best to hit the ground running this month. We've got an excuse to work extra hard right now as we continue to prepare Rolling Hills for a big, still-unannounced opportunity. It's a really weird and nerve wracking feeling to know that the stars are aligning and all you have to do us...

Hello again! We're almost on the other side of the holidays, so I hope you've been enjoying time off relaxing with your friends and family. We got some very exciting news shortly before Christmas and although it made us so excited to get back to work on Rolling Hills, we still made an effort to take time off and recharge. So with all that in min...

Happy Holidays! This devlog is going to be a little different than usual. Instead of our normal bullet points and features, I want to give you an honest look at the current state of Rolling Hills. Rest assured that everything is going according to plan... especially since we started planning!
The theme of this article is twofold: for one, ...

Last month I ended our devlog by saying that the current build of Rolling Hills felt like a playground. What I meant was that the experience is fun, but it feels loose. If you read my post The Gameplay History of Rolling Hills, you know that ...

Another month, another devlog! September was extremely productive as we worked long hours to prepare a version of the game to submit to a popular convention. Though these sprints are tiring and it's important to take care of yourself throughout the process, they are admittedly very helpful in forcing you to cut out all the fat in your designs an...

August was a busy month for us, and as a result I finally get to show off an early version of the town, our fresh market interior, and character customization. Let's get started!
Welcome To Town!

Last month I began by musing about how scary big changes can be. This month we're finally seeing the results of those changes, and feeling pretty good about it!

To be honest, these were the kind of posts I was afraid of when I launched our Patreon. We made huge changes this month. Changes that will make some of the earlier screenshots and gifs you've seen here totally irrelevant. It's scary to think that some of you may have really liked things as they were, and yet here we go changing them, but from my...

Woah, our first devlog! April began with an emphasis on preparing for a local games conference called ECGC. This was our first time showing our own game at a conference, so we were excited/super nervous. We knew we'd only be showing a small slice of the restaurant gameplay, but even to accomplish that...
