| “The game has come so far from the technical demo of 2020, we’re very happy to have explored how we can build an interesting game experience around this mechanic,” said Matt Stark, Game Director. “We want to make a game that’s accessible and appealing to people who wouldn’t usually like these types of games. There’s a lot of fun and silly things that we’re working on to add into the game.” “One of the things we are aware of is that while the game’s narrative can be anything we want it to be, the core gameplay has to feel good. We often go on gut feel and think of fun ways for our players to engage with the world we are building,” said Gwen Foster, Business Director. “We think it’s a really special game and we have found the right kind of people to work on it, so we want you to enjoy the game just as much as we did making it,” said Georg Backer, Executive Producer. “Pls buy our game!” Melanie, the watermelon.
