December was a crazy month for Random Seed Games. Demo releases, holidays, Ludum Dare, Greenlight campaigns, and more. So let’s dive right in. Lacuna Passage Prologue on Mac First off, some of you may have noticed already if you tried to access your Lacuna Passage download pages in the last couple days, but we have just added a Mac version of the Prologue demo. If you still haven’t claimed your download page then. The Mac version is not nearly as well tested on our end as the PC version, so if you find any bugs. Some of you have contacted us about testing a Linux version eventually.

We are compiling a list of Linux testers so email us at contact@randomseedgames.com if you haven’t yet. Photo Contest So, now that 95% of our backers have access to the Prologue demo, we would like to announce a small contest. Between now and January 31st at 11:59PM CST we will be accepting submissions of photos you have taken in the demo with the photography mechanic (photos you take during the demo can be found in the “Lacuna Passage PrologueData” folder under “Screenshots”). Please send your photo submission to info@lacunapassage.com via the email address that is associated with your Humble download page.

Only one photo will be accepted per entry. Emails received with more than one photo attached will be disqualified. Our top 3 favorite photos will receive a free “upgrade” to the $75 Kickstarter backer level (if you are already a $75 level backer you will get another Collector’s Edition and poster to give to a friend or family member). Show us your Mars photography skills! Song Seed I feel like we have been saying this for a couple months now, but we are getting closer to a beta test for our. If you are interested in helping us test Song Seed please email us at contact@randomseedgames.com.

TIMEframe on Steam. Recently we in voting for our side project, TIMEframe, on Steam Greenlight. Well, after less than 2 weeks we have! This has really taken us by surprise.

We were not expecting to get through this quickly, if at all. We want to thank all of you who voted for us. As we mentioned in our previous call-to-action, we will be putting a priority on releasing TIMEframe. Our goal is to have it completed and on Steam sometime in early February.

We will still be working on Lacuna Passage in the mean time, but just not as much as we are right now. When TIMEframe is released we will hopefully have some extra revenue to help finance the remaining development of Lacuna Passage, which we will return to full-time. And as we mentioned previously, all of our backers will also be receiving a free copy of TIMEframe when it is released! We are very excited for the upcoming releases of both TIMEframe and Song Seed and what they mean for our young studio.
