Hello! I hope you're enjoying some nice holidays and Winter sales. I'm here with some news.

Dev stream

The other day Wishdream (the prop artist) and I (Raoul, the director) have done another one of our monthly development streams! You can check out its VOD here on youtube.

Update reschedule

We originally scheduled version 0.8.0a to come out in December. Earlier this month we came to the conclusion this wouldn't be the case. For 0.8.0a we had promised: a new zone, enhanced online play and new set pieces as well as a yet-to-be-disclosed fourth point. In autumn, right after the early access release, we started to realize that our priorities were changing: instead of working on the new city zone right away, we focused on making the game feel more dense by adding more activities. I'll spare the development details for another time - it'll be at the end of this month! on the quarterly recap! - but in brief this means we began building and developing two new hubs that take place in between zones: one we call the "goose hub" and the second being the "park". The goal with these hubs is to make the game feel more varied and memorable with the addition of minigames and unique visuals. Aside from this, our commitment on "enhanced online" - basically playing tag with friends - and "new setpieces" - better visual storytelling - remained unchanged. So, when's the update coming out? In the second half of January. You can see the updated roadmap below.
See you at the end of the month!
