August Devlog! 🏔️

Hi everyone!

August has been an incredible month for Heidi’s Legacy — from new features in the demo to our very first public showing at Gamescom! Let’s dive in.

A Brand-New Recipe Mini-Game 🍄✨

We’ve been working hard to implement a new recipe system for the demo, just in time for Gamescom! In this mini-game, you’ll combine 2, 3, or 4 ingredients by aligning them in the correct order to craft handmade goods. Bonus lines even give you extra items - so planning your moves carefully really pays off.

It’s a fun way to bring crafting to life, and we’re excited for you to try it in the demo.

A Peek at Birgit’s House 🏡

Next up: more progress on our 3D-but-2D pipeline with Blender.

Steam post image This month, we shared a work-in-progress look at Birgit’s cozy little house - complete with red roof tiles, flower beds, and a warm welcome. Soon, Adele will be able to go talk to Birgit and help her with various cooking quests!

Chickens, Goats… and More! 🐐🐔

Gamescom was fast approaching, and before we left, we shared a few more sneak peeks of our 3D models: a chicken coop and a picnic table.

The chickens will be roaming in Birgit’s garden, while the picnic table will be used by Grandpa and others to gather and discuss at the end of the day.

Adele’s First Time at Gamescom 🎉

And then came the big event! We showcased Heidi’s Legacy for the very first time at Gamescom 2025 as part of the Indie Arena Booth - and what an experience it was!

• Hundreds of players stopped by to try the demo, giving us incredible feedback (and plenty of goat love 🐐).

• We met with many potential partners, opening new doors for the game’s future.

• And of course, we caught up with lots of fellow dev friends — the Indie Arena Booth community always makes this event so special!

This was a huge milestone for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the excitement and support we received at the show.

Stay in the Loop! 📌

That’s it for August — a busy, heartwarming month for Heidi’s Legacy. We’ll have more updates to share very soon, so if you haven’t already, don’t forget to hit the “Follow” button on our Steam page. That way, you’ll get notified as soon as new devlogs and updates go live.
