EMUUROM IS OUT ON STEAM!
Hello all!
It’s a big day… EMUUROM is finally coming out…

…on Steam at least, that is.

Yeah I know, it would be ideal to have it out on Itch.io the same day… but to be honest, I just haven’t had any time to focus on both platforms. I literally built the version 1.0.0 half an hour ago to get the final tiny fixes in! And after adding in a support for Steam achievements, I’d have to figure out how to get rid of them for the Itch release. :D So instead of doing that, I’ve just been fixing and fixing and fixing things - making 1-3 new builds on a daily basis for my playtesters for the last two weeks. Now I need some well-deserved time off before I can look at the code editor again…
Also, before launching on Itch, I need to figure out how to handle the launch in the first place - should I keep this page for the demo only and have a separate page for the full game? Would separating the pages be confusing? Let me know what do you think!
Anyways, that’s how things are for now. I will release the game here on a later date (but hopefully in a matter of days, not weeks!), so until then, the game will be available on Steam. If you can, get the game there!
And now, for the lack of words, here’s a montage of images that best describes the final weeks of development.

So yeah, 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 as my first commercial release.
SO,
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to warm the sauna and relax for a bit. In the meantime, have fun exploring in the world of Emuulehto!

Congrats! I've played this demo like 6 times over the years so I'm glad to see it out :)
Happy to hear it's finally out! I'll be waiting on the Itch release, myself. I'd say just keep this page for both the demo and the final release since that's what most games do. Having two pages just seems more confusing.
I didn't even realize I had it on itch (got it in a bundle) and bought it on Steam, can't wait for the full release here, too!
'Grats on the release! I'll be waiting for it to show up on Itch, but no need to hurry with that.
The offer of figuring out a floppy disk release still stands, btw.
Just watched NoLucksGiven play like 5 mins of this and knew I needed to play it so stopped watching to not spoil anymore ^-^ I'll be on the lookout for a itch release since I've been trying to avoid purchasing on Steam if possible. Enjoy your break!
