A year ago tonight I came home from my shift testing other people's games, opened an empty project, and made a grey square walk across a grey bridge. I have done some version of that most nights since: nine to one, five nights a week, with tea.
By my log that is about twelve hundred hours. It is also a town, a temple, an inn, four rivers' worth of story, a battle system I have rebuilt three times and a title I finally like.
What is next
This autumn: the demo, the Steam page and the first press. Next year: Early Access with the first four rivers. After that, the other five, at the speed nights allow.
Thank you to everyone who has played a build, sent a bug, or just told me this is a game they want. Since I was a kid I wanted to play the wuxia game nobody made. It is strange and wonderful to be the one making it.
