Hey everyone, happy October!
With this development log, I want to give a quick post to talk about the launch of our Spellbearers Kickstarter.
Earlier this year, we announced our next title "Spellbearers", a medieval twin-stick shooter that is inspired from retro classics such as "Smash TV" and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past". Before shutdown and current social distancing measures took effect, we got to demonstrate the game at LVLUPEXPO and received a lot of positive feedback. We were also able to open the Playcrafting "Global Game Night: Los Angeles" show with the game to really positive reception.
For the past year and a half, we've been financing the game on our own, but due to stresses and reduced opportunities stemming from COVID-19, our dream scope of the game is being cut short. We would like to be able to get the funds to see it through, so we turned to Kickstarter to make this happen.
As Producer of Spellbearers, my job is to coordinate with Gerren, the game director and programmer, and the art/sound/QA teams to be able to ensure that we get consistent progress on the project and to meet the goals and deadlines. We have a very talented team working on this project which is a combination of team members who previously worked on our other released games such as "Selatria: Advent of the Dakk'rian Empire", "ANTics", and "The Dastardly Dairy Debacle".
I hope you enjoy the playable demo and the rewards we have to offer. We have more to show on this game in the future, so please look forward to it!

For those looking forward to the full release of Selatria, we are still giving the project the love and care it needs. As most of the art and music has been completed, these team members are spending most of their efforts on Spellbearers development. We are still putting our full effort into implementing cutscenes, doing voice-over retakes and implementing boss battle encounters in the project, and I aim to have some more Selatria information and updates later this season.
Until next time!
