We're delighted to announce that Fellow Traveller is our newest adventure buddy! Fellow Traveller is an indie publisher that focuses on surprising narrative games. You may remember them as the hosts of LudoNarraCon, the publisher of indie darling games Orwell and Hacknet, or their upcoming games Church in the Darkness and NeoCab. First things first: What Pumpkin will continue to focus on all aspects of game development such as art, writing, music, and so very much more. Meanwhile, Fellow Traveller will be managing all of the business bits: think marketing, brand management, and production support. Weve done this so we can devote more of our time to the development of the game. So what does this mean for you? In short: were working hard to bring Act 2 to the world as soon as possible. With our new partner, it also means you'll be hearing from us a lot more: look forward to regular updates, newsletters, social media posts, and more exciting news in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you're all invited to join our official Discord server. We look forward to meeting you all there!
And now, well get back to implementing all these assets
