The Adventure Begins

Hello Fellow Adventurers!

Welcome to the first edition of Behind the Barn, a monthly newsletter, where I'll be giving you a sneak peak behind the development of Bertie the Stableboy. If you’re receiving this email, it means you’re either connected to the project in some way, or I think you might be interested in what we’re doing.

Of course, you’re free to unsubscribe at any time, but I hope you’ll stick around and enjoy the journey with us. No hard feelings about unsubscribing, really, since I just added you to the newsletter without asking you, to jumpstart this newsletter. Whoopsie!

So, lets walk around the back of the barn and look at what we've been up to…

🚀 Progress: We finished the first MVP in March and we’re now working on the second prototype.

👩‍💻 Learnings: We learned a lot from the demo we did in the previous sprint and we’re implementing those improvements in this one.

🎮 Challenge: We’re creating a demo from the middle of the game (basically a couple of scenes from the middle). We're intentionally working on the part of the game, where things get most complex, so that we learn as much as we can.

👥 Team: We’re a highly motivated team, but we’re looking for an extra programmer to join us. Only those that work for coffee and cookies at this point though, but any contacts are more than welcome!

🎨 Creativity: We’re having fun developing new stuff for the prototype, such as new dialogues, characters, locations and more. It's really exciting being part of something like this, honestly. As a huge gaming geek, this is like a dream come true.

So, yeah, we’re making great progress and we’re very excited about the potential for the game we're making. More on that next month probably…
