Howdy and happy October!

\nWow - we probably thought the gamedev journey couldn\'t get any busier, and then we entered this season.

On the top of the list is SteamNext Fest - save the date! We\'ve been prepping behind the scenes for a while now -polishing up the demo, reaching out to streamers, and planning a pretty cool surprise.Steam Next Fest runs October 13-20, and it\'s one of the best opportunities unreleased games have to get eyes on their game and get the Steam algorithm churning. TheBIGGEST thing you can do to help us is wishlist Hermit and Pigfrom now through October 13and ask your friends to do the same - it reallyyyy makes a difference!

We are on track to have this puppy (or piglet) feature complete by the end of the month. Then we\'ll begin an intensive playtesting period for the rest of the year. Since our last big update we sent out, we\'ve pretty muchfinished cutscenes. This is a huge milestone for us - there are 125+ of these throughout the game! We\'ve also got ALL of the game\'s rooms set up, and now we\'re working on getting them dressed up with scenery objects - all the trees, grass, urban items, etc. that make a game feel like a home.
