Happy Saturday!
We're still alive, sorry for the extended radio silence! We've had our heads down working and making sure we're organized and ready to get this game out into the world!
State of the Game
Since our last update in November, we've been taking inventory of where we're at and starting to build the shipping-quality content that we want to ship in the game.
We have a great plan and a solid roadmap for the production of the game leading into and beyond Early Access, and now we're executing on it!
Our level art is starting to close in on the style and quality we want for our Early Access launch. Here's part of the game's first level in its current state:
We're going to be starting playtesting in the next couple months, which is the next big milestone the team is building towards. If you'd like to be part of the first folks to see the game, join us on Discord and say hi!
Prior to our Early Access launch, we're also aiming to have a public demo available to participate in Steam Next Fest. More info to come later!
Our main goal is to launch into Early Access in Fall of 2026 and reach sustainability so that we can continue to make this game a reality.
New Team Members
During the last few months, we've also recruited some incredible new team members. Please give a warm welcome to all of them:
Jon
Jon joined the team in October of 2025 as an artist. He's an incredible artist with credits on games like Enter the Matrix, Torment: Tides of Numenéra, and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. We've been ecstatic to have Jon on the team!
Lilith
Lilith joined the team in November of 2025 as a programmer. She's been revamping our editor as well as our game mechanics and has an incredible feel for tuning and finding fun. She's quickly become the go-to problem solver on the team!
Harriet
Harriet joined the team in January of 2026 as a producer. She's a very organized, talented, and experienced producer. Harriet has done a fantastic job getting us into shape for our big release and everything that goes into it!
Looking Ahead
With this post, we're aiming to restart Saturday @ Second Half as a weekly tradition. I'm excited for the team to have an opportunity to share all the amazing things they've been creating on a regular basis!
Overall, the future is bright; make sure you have sunglasses!
