Howdy and happy October!
Wow - we probably thought the gamedev journey couldn't get any busier, and then we entered this season.
On the top of the list is Steam Next Fest - save the date! We've been prepping behind the scenes for a while now - polishing up the demo, reaching out to streamers, and planning a pretty cool surprise. Steam Next Fest runs October 13-20, and it's one of the best opportunities unreleased games have to get eyes on their game and get the Steam algorithm churning. The BIGGEST thing you can do to help us is wishlist Hermit and Pig from now through October 13 and ask your friends to do the same - it reallyyyy makes a difference!
On the dev side of things - it's kind of hard to believe how quickly everything is coming together for Hermit and Pig now! We are on track to have this puppy (or piglet) feature complete by the end of the month. Then we'll begin an intensive playtesting period for the rest of the year. Since our last big update we sent out, we've pretty much finished cutscenes. This is a huge milestone for us - there are 125+ of these throughout the game! We've also got ALL of the game's rooms set up, and now we're working on getting them dressed up with scenery objects - all the trees, grass, urban items, etc. that make a game feel like a home.
And finally, we will end the month at Dreamhack Atlanta - please let us know if you'll be there, we'd love to see you and we'll plan to have some cool giveaways and Halloween candy at our booth.
Thanks as always for reading and being here!
