I’m very proud to announce my next game:
🍃 Winds of Viridia 🍃
It’s a classic action adventure with sprawling handcrafted levels, bosses, friends and secrets.
We hope to launch early next year. A demo is out on Steam and Switch 2 now!

@duvettcoverr Thankyou! I’ll look into adding it as an option

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

A new patch for the Switch 2 version of the Winds of Viridia demo is rolling out now!

This brings it up to date with the steam version and fixes it using the old menus, and missing boss health bars, plus some extra tweaks.

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@davidguimenez Great notes, thankyou! We’ll keep them in mind and do what we can as we finish up the game!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@Go2NRG Good feedback, we’ll look into adding something!

@MrUnderscore_01 Patch for that on switch 2 is rolling out today!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@Maximasaurus We’re thinking about some options for that in an accessibility menu! Still not sure what it’ll be exactly yet. Do you have any suggestions? Take half damage or something was what I was thinking.

Nintendo Indie World Highlight: WINDS OF VIRIDIA

[GameRant @GameRant]

Winds of Viridia blends Zelda-like exploration with Studio Ghibli-style visuals, and Switch 2 players can try its free demo ahead of its 2027 launch. https://t.co/YWxadD4SVt

@rahnyc4 @Press_Continue_ I’ll look into adding one! Thanks for playing

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@_madmat_ Thanks for playing! I tuned the boss for the demo to be harder than usual, but I’ll make sure the full game has a much smoother difficulty curve.

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@RobertM72103719 Should be 60fps on switch 2 as well!

[PixelShaun @PixelShaun]

Just completed the Winds of Viridia demo and wow, @Orann is cooking up something special!
Go check it out, wishlist it, and play the demo on Steam/Switch 2!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@mikeymario2 That’s a bug! Patch for switch 2 should be coming soon - for some reason it released one version behind. We have new menus and a few updates to it coming too.
And will do re: death anim - I have that one on my own notes already actually!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@No______ahh The full game eases you into it a lot more, don’t worry! I like it when a demo has a tricky boss at the end, so it’s a little bit up the difficulty curve

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@HeinArrete Thankyou! I’d love to do a physical version, but it’s quite hard for indies. I’ll try!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@AnCapUnion Physical releases are pretty hard for indies to do these days, but I’d really love to. I’ll be looking into it for sure!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@MaxDotNet7335 Full game will be mostly exploration! Loads of secrets, temples and interconnecting areas. Way less puzzles than a Zelda, but we have a few light puzzle-ey bits in there!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@Triforce40k We’ll get it enabled!

[Matt Trobbiani @Orann]

@schiggy__7 Yes, we plan on that!
