HOW WE’RE DOING

Hey y’all! Apologies for the slight delay, as we had a lot of team meetings to do--but it’s time for the first of our March community updates, and boy, do we have good news! For the past couple of months, we’ve been focused on doing bug fixes for Episode 1, and while we know there are still a bunch of bugs to get rid of, we also acknowledge that we have to keep moving forward as well. So as of today, we’re announcing that we are focusing on the production of Wild Season Episode 2! Don’t worry though--bug fixing is still a major priority for us, and it’ll be going hand-in-hand with what we’re doing for Episode 2. All this means is that you can expect to hear even more about what the dev team is doing! Their first update for you is that the devs are working on implementing cozy chibi outfits for Winter, so expect to see some hot--or maybe just warm--new looks for everyone when the snowy season hits ;)

WILD SEASON DEV BUILD TESTERS!

As mentioned in yesterday’s build update, we’re now opening our doors to Dev Build Testers for Wild Season! Check out the details below: Who is eligible to join? Anyone who currently owns a copy of Wild Season. What’s in it for the testers? This is a volunteer position, and as such, players who sign up to be testers will not be paid. However, you guys will be able to test out new features of Wild Season before the general public does, and learn how professional game testers work! (Disclaimer: There is a chance that playing the dev builds as a tester will cause your current save files for Wild Season to become lost or corrupted, but it’s just part of the job!) Why become a tester? Aside from being short on machines and manpower, we’d like to show everyone that the game dev industry is not all fun and, well, games! There’s a lot of hard work to be done and a lot of factors to consider. If you’re thinking of taking a career path in the game industry, or just genuinely curious or passionate about games, this is a great chance for you to learn--and you’ll be a huge help to us as well! How do I sign up? Just email Mads at support@quickfire-games.com to get started!

THE RETURN OF THE PODCAST?

We’ve decided to shake up our usual Wild Season podcast format; rather than livestream sessions on Twitch, we’re switching over to vlog-style video content which we’ll be uploading directly to our YouTube channel! (https://www.youtube.com/user/quickfiregamesstudio) We’ll be doing features on the various characters and aspects of the game like before, and also making a new series of videos called “A Day in the Life,” about what it’s like for each of us working at Quickfire Games. Expect to see the first of our brand-spanking-new videos sometime in the near future! Is there anything you’d like to see us talk about or feature in one of our videos? Feel free to leave us a comment and let us know!
