Hiya folks! It's been a few days since Farewell North released and I'm still getting used to the idea that it's out there. I've been reading the reviews over and over every day (please keep them coming, it's a huge help) and the response has far exceeded my wildest dreams! But, the feedback on the music in particular has been nothing short of phenomenal, and that's really all thanks to the work…
Hey all! I've just released a patch with a few more fixes based on your feedback: - fixed a bush on Teaghlach that had a rude habit of trapping sheep and not letting them go - fixed an issue causing the first "My Heart's in the Highlands" cutscene to re-trigger if you canoe back to the cave - fixed a missing Simplified Chinese character in the Gaelic Subtitle modal

Farewell North is OUT NOW! For the past four years I've spent every single day working on this game; a deeply personal, atmospheric and emotional adventure about a woman and her dog saying farewell to the place they grew up. I'm so proud of what the team and I have created, and I'm absolutely thrilled to say that it's out now ! The early press reviews have been so heartwarming, but it's your op…
Hey folks! I know you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Farewell North and, believe me, so have I! It still feels surreal that this journey is so close to coming to an end and I can't wait to get it out there for you. I do have some slightly bad news to share today, but don't worry, you will get to chase after sticks and herd some coos as our good boy Chesley very soon! Farewell North wil…

Heya folks! It's been quite an adventure developing Farewell North these last four years. We're not quite at the finish line just yet, but I am thrilled to announce that Farewell North now has a release date - August 15, 2024 ! With the release date announcement comes a brand new trailer with never before seen footage, and a few other big announcements as well - make sure you watch through to t…
One of the trickiest aspects of Farewell North's development has been bringing the main character to life in a way that players are able to relate and connect with her. I didn't realize it when I started development, but as a (mostly) solo indie dev it turns out that this is no small task, and for the past three years I've been doing everything I can to give her personality: animations, behavio…
Hey everyone 👋 I'm really excited to share that Farewell North is going to be at PAX East at booth 15086 with Shumi Come Home , Haven Park and Lost Ember , and to celebrate we've just published a whole bunch of improvements to the Steam demo. This is a much more polished version that takes into account months of feedback from all of you! I'm still hard at work on the rest of the game beyond th…
Hey everyone! There's a bunch of news for you! First of all, Farewell North has a brand new trailer, hope you like it: And apart from that, Farewell North is now part of the Mooneye Indies family!

In this devlog you'll see how community feedback is being directly incorporated into the canoeing mechanic, making for a much more polished experience, and new accessibility options to help you enjoy Farewell North the way you'd like to experience it. On the canoe side, the animations have been greatly improved, though they're still not quite final. The colouring mechanic, where optimally timed…
What a month! There's been so much progress on the game, it's hard to condense it down to a 10 minute devlog. First, I've been thinking a lot about the game mechanics and how they fit into puzzle gameplay. I realized that the demo (by the way, you can sign up to be a beta tester over on Discord !) doesn't currently have enough variety and movement in the gameplay, so I've introduced a new mecha…
In the sixteenth (!) Farewell North devlog, we'll look at some big improvements to the game that have come out of the alpha playtests. Perspective puzzles have been massively improved to ensure they're understandable for new players, without going so far as to hold the players hand. They should be much more intuitive now, and some playtest footage shows we're on the right track here. The graphi…
In the eleventh Farewell North devlog, I'll show you how stealth is being integrated into the game! Since I was a kid I've loved stealth games like Splinter Cell and Hitman, and more recently games like Dishonoured have scratched that itch. There's something about that genre that really just peaks my interest, and since day 1 I've been saying Farewell North would have stealth elements. It took…
Last week I published the fifth devlog and I feel the series is just starting to hit it's stride.
