...and we barely have anything done besides a healthbar and a semi-working pathfinding AI. We really need to step up our game. Video devlog coming soon maybe. (Join our Discord for more progress updates) also 67 haha very funny... (why am i like this?)
So the idea phase is almost over. Purposefall and FILE2 just started coming up with ideas today lol. Purposefall installed windows on their steam deck in preparation, I'm not sure if Dec, Pepsi, or Rin have done anything to prepare yet. Oh well! I (Purposefall) was thinking of doing a rebrand earlier today, wouldn't it be cool if we had a mascot? Anyways I'll stop talking so you can get on with your day.
With only 10 days before the start of development of Housekeepers, we have already hit a roadblock; how do you make a demo for a "friendslop" game? Would you only be able to play with demo users or would people who purchased the full game be limited to the demo? Therefore, demo's cancelled and instead, Housekeepers will launch alongside a free "Friend's Pass" (yes, like EA). The friend's pass will be the exact same but the host feature and singleplayer mode will be removed. (We haven't decided yet but maybe we'll keep the buttons in and they'll open the steam page for the full game instead of doing anything.)
Welp! Here we are. First official newsletter. Let's just keep this as short as possible and cut to the chase. First off, we've gone "public". But public as in "we're" (Basically only Purposefall at the moment) finally going to start releasing devlogs monthly (Starting June) and opening up about progress. Big announcement number two: Coretrail Official Discord server! You can find that linked on the right or on our home page. Big announcement number three: Housekeepers, which "we" abandoned last year, starts development on May 27th. "We" hope to release it by the end of the year. But no promises. Oh, also small website update. Changelog: added discord server link, and under construction text in home. Newsletters page (what you're currently on) also exists now. That seems to be it. Later!
