Hey all, hope you're having a fantastic weekend. A few bumps have interrupted our production in the last few weeks, some of them were welcome, some were heartbreaking, but nonetheless we're pretty much where we were expecting to be by now. My own "interruptions" have mostly resulted in
"you will be editing chapters on a bus at 3am instead of in the comfort of your home" or
"you will be writing drunken rants that cannot stand as devlogs so you better keep those to yourself" so... it's not the end of the world. More like an inconvenient pandemic that may cause some delays or force us to readjust without actually exterminating the human race - wait, that sounds familiar.
Anyway, we’re a few scenes away from completing the first chapter. We’re really happy with the quality of the renders, possibly reaching over 600 for this part. I feel like we’ve managed to create a decently consistent aesthetic throughout the renders and UI which is more challenging than it sounds. We're also thrilled to announce we have our first original instrumental song that we will be including in the main menu and that I've been listening to on repeat as I edit because it just has the
perfect mood.
Whenever we feel burnt out, we've been brainstorming little ideas we'd like to implement to make the game experience better, while making it feel not that game-y. By this I mean that at the moment we're not interested in including anything resembling a minigame or stats, for example. But eventually we would like to have extra scenes to unlock, different ways to interact with MC's journal, perhaps some moody animations to wrap up chapters... If there are any other 'extra' little things you particularly enjoy, both Grogu and Gizmo have ears that are way too large for their tiny heads. That was a very awkward way to say, yeah, we'd be interested in hearing what you'd like to see.
I also keep getting distracted by the many ideas for spin offs I’m having while reminding myself we have not even released a chapter. Actually, Baby Yoda is the one who reminds me of that but oh well, that may only be true for a few more weeks which is maddeningly exciting.
That's it for now, enjoy your weekend and make sure to take a minute to show your appreciation to those you care for.
PS: We’ve also got some emojis and stickers on our

now, so that means we’re officially a thing, right? Aaand we’ve set up that questions thingy that makes Grogu feel like he did something really cool so feel free to use it if there’s anything you’d like to ask us!
