Digging around the city, she discovered an object that appeared to be an artifact from the meat creatures of old. Having been defeated, and thus having her purpose rendered null and void, DogSquared simply abandoned her naval programming and reverted to a state not unlike the canine friends of our precursors. The explosion from the sinking vessel threw her all the way to a nearby city on the coast of Brazil. Just yesterday, off the coast of Brazil, esteemed captain and good girl DogSquared had her Hammerhead-class battlecruiser, the “Diablo’s Chew Toy”, sunk by an unknown vessel, presumed to be operated by a rogue utility robot. Have we struck gold? We’re back in preproduction!Īnd with that little piece of good news, it’s time to read an excerpt from the New Earth Times. Every aspect of our plan is fluid, but that fluid has enormous inertia and is accelerating upward. Successful indies from all over New Zealand have reached out with cautionary tales and directional advice.

We have various and impressively-experienced counsellors for studio development, capital, legal, business strategy, technical advice, future-tech advice, all sorts. There are people applying for internships. There are external contractors also, but I shan’t name them for fear of retribution. “Quality Assurance” is the technical term, but one shan’t get too caught up on what words to use. He replicates and reports bugs, tests strategies for balance, tries to break the game, that sort of thing. Will tells me how many explosions can happen before we breach 60FPS on a potato phone. Will plays Battlecruisers so much that we are worried. In a few years, he will join us here in the studio, when the restrictions are lifted. If Dean is like my little son in a way, I am quite fond of him despite his criticism of my design decisions. This helps fellow humans feel relaxed and less threatened. Dean has a lovely face and is known to smile. Dean uses his eyes to look in the direction of the present conversational subject. He is a developer, we think! He says words, and I am 80% sure he’s not an AI. Chimey has helped us build a solid production plan for our ambitious project. We’ve got a totally sweet team of Mechawekavengers: a term everyone hates including me, but I use it out of spite.Ĭhimey is our Game Producer and already has won 2 awards for our forthcoming production! Chimey’s name is actually Felix but since we already have a Felix, Chimey was forced to legally change his name by deed poll. *Success is defined as 100k+ kelp forest established. That uncontrollable elation was caused by achieving a 10% statistical chance of success.* And now we are way up to 59%, due to all the great stuff that I’ve deferred from detailing. Our launch week broke Felix’s expectations by a whopping 1:163 ratio!. Such primal joy had never been expressed by a primate so joyous! This, as we had studied, was the #1 predictor of success in an indie game. When we hit the front page of Steam, back in Feb ‘21, and front page in several categories, I ran up to the deck and whooped exactly like a howler monkey. Last week, I increased my certainty of success* to 59%! And that takes into account my overwhelming bias.

Tons of diverse characters, and lots of bright minds. The people in this industry want us to succeed! #NZGameDevForever everyone I’ve met in this industry is a bro. Every time I meet a new person in the GameDev scene, I gain +10 insight, +5000XP, and +1 friend – and they introduce me to all their friends. We’ve got a lot of interest, it seems every week twice as many new opportunities arrive. My name is Pete Casale and I am a Battlecruisers addict. I’m supposed to be in bed at 9pm sharp and asleep by 10pm.
