Dev Update: New areas, more stories, TIGS (expo in Japan), & GDC!

Hello fellow structures!

It's February! Which means it's time for another dev update (that is definitely punctual and on-time). As we're creeping closer towards launch this year, I'm committing to providing monthly updates to keep you all in the loop!

So here's some stuff I've been working on

Have you noticed the new art?

I finally came around to updating the Steam capsule & key art! It took me a minute, but I finally learned what a "value study" was and what saturation does to an image lmao

What lies beyond the hill?

I've been writing more dialogue, shaping up more stories to tell within the world of Building Relationships. It's all coming from the heart, it's raw at times, and I'm excited for how you all will feel about it.

Speaking of more stories...

What's this? Broken pillars lying about? What's out there to uncover?

Now, onto some exciting news

Building Relationships was included in The Gamer's list of indies to look out for in 2025!

Read the rest of the article (and all the great games featured) here!

Building Relationships is going to be showing in Tokyo!

I'll be there to showcase the game, so stop by and say hi if you're local!

I'll be speaking at GDC!

I'll be talking about structuring games for comedy (going through fundamentals and looking at humor through patterns). I used to go to GDC many times as a student, but back then, I was constantly overwhelmed from social anxiety and imposter syndrome... So it's very exciting for me to return as a speaker and also as someone who's learned to recognize those symptoms :)

And last but not least...

Here's a secret little sneak peak to what I'm currently busy with (hehe)

Ok bye!
