Feels incredible (and somewhat horrifying) that twenty years have gone by.
The tech demo was quite successful ("Best Demo" AGS award 2005!), and we learnt a lot from developing it. Despite the name, it's a self-contained short game which takes around half an hour to complete.

Well, happy new year!
Exactly twenty years ago, in the night of Jan 1st 2005, I was putting online the tech demo of "Shadows of the Empire: graphic adventure", a Star Wars fan game I had been working for a while with Cristiano Caliendo and Davide Canavero.

This weekend I'll be at #AdvX23 trying games, listening to talks and hanging out with nice people.
If you spot the very stylish Binary Charm backpack, come say hello!
Oh, and I still have some "SotV: Nightingale" Steam keys to give away, too! ;)
