New logo and Steam page development
Work in progress Steam library assets
Tepene has been working on a new logo along with the multitude of assets and layouts required for releasing our Steam page. While our original logo was exciting, it was very difficult to use at small scales. This new look is simpler, but we’re excited about how well it captures the bright, adventurous tone of the game.
More dastardly foes!
Here is yet another batch of Nik’s exciting enemy characters, some of which you may be unfortunate enough to meet during the playtest!
Community events and developer live sessions
Keep an eye out for more announcements on our discord! We’re looking into fun ways to enjoy the playtest with the community by doing live let’s plays and AMA sessions.
