📢 Exciting News and a Deeper Conversation with the Bravery Community! 🎮
Hello, dear Bravery community!
We have some thrilling updates to share with you and would like to take this opportunity to have a more profound conversation about the game's development. We recognize that our communication hasn't been the best, but we're committed to improving and keeping you informed about the challenges we face as a small indie team. While we may still make mistakes along the way, we believe that being open with you will foster a better understanding of our journey.
Our publisher's funding unfortunately ran out in June 2022, and due to these financial constraints, we had to make the tough decision to release our employees and part ways with some of our partners. It was a heartbreaking moment as we went from a team of nine, all working fervently towards the release, to just the two of us. The studio atmosphere turned somber, but we were determined to give Bravery the chance it deserved, even with our reduced manpower. It was a challenging and emotional period, but we held onto hope that our efforts would resonate with the gaming community and find an audience.
When we first released Bravery, we were a team of only two passionate individuals. Handling bug fixes for the PC version and working on porting the game to the Switch became overwhelming for just the two of us. Nevertheless, we maintained our optimism regarding the game's reception.
But now, for the exciting news!
After the game's release, we were selected as one of the ten Latin American companies to receive the inaugural Google Indie Fund. Originally intended to support the game's mobile port, we saw it as an opportunity to not only bring Bravery to mobile devices but also to make significant improvements. Your valuable feedback has been invaluable, allowing us to gain deeper insights into the project and rework various design decisions to enhance the overall gaming experience. Over the past six months, our team has been hard at work, and we're thrilled with the progress we've made.
We want to emphasize that we're still a small team, consisting of seven dedicated individuals. As we strive to make Bravery the best it can be, we must balance the business aspects while providing ongoing support for the game. Please bear with us as progress may be slower than what you're accustomed to, given our limited resources and budget constraints. We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this journey.
This brings us to our future plans for No Place for Bravery. We're excited to present the roadmap for future updates, outlining our commitment to continuously improve the game and deliver the exceptional experience we know it can be. We invite you to share your feedback and ideas, as your input is vital in shaping the game's direction.
Thank you for being a part of our community and for your unwavering support. Together, let's make Bravery an unforgettable experience!
Stay tuned for more updates and exciting news.
Your Bravery Team
