Keep the bug reports coming on Discord and Steam! - Have fun exploring, Borb
Just in time for the Thinky Direct stream, a new version of EMUUROM is available! Also, cloud saves should now work for Windows and Mac - we're working on getting it working on Linux as well. NOTE: If you play on two computers, be sure your savefile is synced to Steam Cloud before you start the game on another computer. Otherwise Steam could overwrite your main save with a fresh one (and it doesn't always warn about overwriting your save in some cases)!
- Fix Steam-related crash when starting the game - Add an error message if Achievements unavailable - Fix softlock and graphics glitch in Ohtomuer (thanks, Boink, Cy, and others!) - Fix Ohtomuer starting when \ - Add a path to 2-4 to prevent locking you out (thanks, jengamouse!)
- Fix Harju root rune - Make Seeväsheenä faster to unfreeze - Fix port graphics in 5-2 - Fix incorrect area texts in the map (thanks, calfromkansas!) - Edit player location saving to prevent clipping (thanks, forster82 and Aaron) - Small grammar fix - Small pronunciation fix (Thanks, watermalone1!)
- Change to smoother waveforms for less harsher sound overall - Make Kuovi sfx quieter - Edit track volumes throughout - Fix incorrect music playing in 7-6 Happy exploring! - Borb
Thanks to all the new players (there are so many of you! Wow!), we got a ton of bug reports... which means the first patch is due!
New QOL feature: Mavonsilimä can be used to reset Luikero to save it from many conundrums
Fixed title screen message about an incompatible save (Thanks, hbar!)
Signpost 4-4: added a comment from Kulukija about saving the game before resetting (Thanks, Olenananas!)
Fixed softlock in 4-2 by adding a route out (Thanks, Krakenpine!)
Fixed random flashing in some rooms.
\ now shows on map when being \.
Timer fixes in \.
Fixed a late puzzle being skipped by making \ scan slower (Thanks, pjootrz!)
Prevented skipping to \ before getting any \. (You know what you did, Infomantis :D)
Steam cloud saves do not sync between Mac and Windows machines. (Should work fine if you're only using one platform or the other.)
The game crashes on launch or titlescreen when trying to connect to the Steam achievement API. Right now the only trick that seems to work is to restart the Steam app. Obviously not ideal!
That's it for now! If you find any bugs (especially crashes or softlocks), let us know about them here in the Steam community, or by joining the game's official Discord server!
See you next mission, Borb
Happy EMUUROM day, everyone... The game is finally available on Steam!
It’s been a hectic month. I can’t believe the game is finally done. I most certainly am. I started this project as a jam game for the Fantasy Console Jam 3 in 2018 to try out if I could make games with a TIC-80 fantasy console… and 8 years later, after countless delays and yearly devlogs, it’s finally out...
Okay, that's all i can muster to write right now. :D Happy exploring, everyone - see you in Emuulehto!
Built entirely inside the TIC-80 fantasy console, EMUUROM lands at the handheld's sweet spot: low resource use, pixel-perfect rendering, native controller support, fast load times. The whole game fits in 3MB. Bring 30 hours of hand-made puzzle-solving, creature-scanning, and Savo dialect deciphering anywhere.
Launches May 25. Demo live now. Wishlist now to be notified when it launches:
Surprise!
Due to Mina the Hollower launching on 29th, we had to make some quick adjustments to our launch schedule... So EMUUROM will already launch on May 25th!!
Huge thanks to everyone who's wishlisted, shared the game, or sent kind words. There have been setbacks on the way, but right now we only need to make the finishing touches, so I know we can pull it through. I can't wait for you to play the full game!
(Btw, If you haven't tried the demo yet, it's still up for grabs.)
See you on the 25th!
Hello all! Just wanted to share some big news: EMUUROM has officially teamed up with Coyote Time Publishing!
You most likely haven't heard of them before - Coyote Time is a new Finnish indie publisher, and EMUUROM is joining Voltage High Society and Warena as games they publish. I was quite prepared to self-publish EMUUROM, to be honest, but the stars aligned when I talked to Jussi of Coyote Time at the Umeå Game Conference. He later messaged me about a possible collaboration, and here we are!
What does this mean for you? Well, not much, really. I'm still the one making the game, and I'm having the final say with creative decisions. Coyote Time handles the publishing and business stuff (the part I frankly have less experience with, or less interest in handling)... so I can spend more time on development!
With a publisher comes a publishing schedule, naturally, and you might have already noticed on the Steam page that EMUUROM is primed for a Q2 2026 release now. (You might have justifiedly grown to press X to doubt my release schedule announcements, but do note that it's not as easy to postpone the release with an actual publisher on board!)
So, interesting times ahead! Thanks for following EMUUROM development along the years - more updates to be expected soon!
