Current state of things
1. We have moved to a new office. We are part of the indie game collective Saftladen which moved to a new location in Berlin this summer, and so we went along. The new place is very nice and a lot more quiet than the old place. Good for working on Death Trash without getting distracted.
2. We are working on new content. An ongoing task that is slower than expected. But it's happening. Thank you for your patience.
3. The team is growing. Cäcilia is joining our team from this month on and she will take care or help out with organization, publishing, communication, marketing and more. All those extra tasks that need to be done, especially when self-publishing. This was mostly done by myself so far and the idea is that I will have more time for the game itself from now on. (I will keep being active in discussions, of course.)
By the way: We have a beta branch where we update the game more frequently.
It works like this: We update the game on the beta branch on average once per week and after a few updates when we see that all is working out fine, that last version is pushed as an official update.
You'll find more info about the beta branch and about testing in general over here:
