Following from last year in September, the Hymble Ventures demo is almost ready for the major update. After we removed the mechanics that appeared educational about autism, it expanded more room for creativity and love for the game. This led to re establishing the game’s USP’s.

Hymble is still autistic, yet that’s only distinguished from her personality and animations, executed in a subtle manner. Players should naturally pick up on the neurodiversity vibes that way.

General Updates

This fun, blending mechanic allows you to turn collected fruit into health-restoring smoothies.

The character dialogue is now humorous and gives charm to each character.

The inventory system is reduced to one table of items, plus you see a cute Hymble animation.

Power-Up(dates)

  • Zorb Ball is now called Hym-Bubble

  • Boomerang is now called Hym-A-Ring

  • Hand attack is called Hym-Bam

Changes to Hymble’s Bedroom

The hub has a completely new design to better accommodate the basic run and jump mechanics. You get the Hym-Bam attack as a reward when you reach the windowsill. While the bedroom is sandbox-styled, this gives you a chance to play around with the Hym-Bam attack. You can push toys around the room and break open a surprise box where you’re introduced to Codee!

Changes to Hungry Hungry Hymble

  • New name - it is now called Rocky Farmlands

  • New short missions - bring the merchant a burger to open his shop, and help a farmer clear pests away from his crops

  • New NPC’s - magic yielding farmers who react if you intrude their patch

Changes to Hymble, The Witch and the Wardrobe

  • New level design - many players found it difficult to navigate and felt they were fighting with the camera. After playtesting, we can confirm that those issues are gone!

  • New name - it is now called Toadstool Park

  • New puzzle - for raising/lowering platforms. Use the Hym-Bubble in the podiums to control the platforms.

  • New short missions - help the mother tortoises reunite with their lost babies

Well aren’t you excited? I hope so because it’s been eight months of remaking the demo, and fourteen months since we last updated the demo file on Steam.

Until next time! JJ
