Dear Mood Confectioners,
Weāve brought High Times and Spirit Rancher to PAX East! š
Itās our first time showcasing at a US convention, and we want to thank everyone who dropped by the past two days to play our games. The reception has been incredibly positive; it definitely made all the visa stress, jetlag and JFK interrogation worth it, lol!
Weāll be here until Sunday, March 29, from 10:00 AM ā 6:00 PM, so if you want to hang out + make virtual donuts/catch some spirits, weāre at Booth 10050! We're also giving away High Times merch for those who play the demo and wishlist the game on Steam. š
We also wanted to share a quick update regarding the release timeframe for High Times.
Our Steam page currently lists Q1 2026, and with Q1 coming to a close, we want to clarify that the game will no longer be releasing within that timeframe. š¢ Weāre now targeting a release sometime in Q2 2026. The release date was updated internally already, though it's taking some time to reflect publicly for some reason (we might need to contact Steam support if it still doesn't get updated in the next few days...)
We know some of you noticed the Q1 2026 window and have been asking about it. We understand the frustration and we really appreciate the excitement! We're also eager (and very anxious!) to bring the game to you guys. And while we do have a more specific release date that weāve shared privately with our Kickstarter backers, unfortunately, weāre not quite ready to announce it publicly just yet. Once we are, weāll be sure to share it here in our Steam news page. š
Right now, our focus is on making sure the game is fully polished and as bug free as possible. We're also exploring the possibility of a console sim-ship (Nintendo Switch/Playstation/Xbox) to give the game the strongest launch momentum as possible.
Thank you so much everyone for your continued support as we ride out the last months of development hell! Please extend us a little bit more patience as we hammer this out. š Regardless of what happens, 2026 is the year of High Times for sure! š©āØ
