Greetings, pilots!

The criminal creditor’s clock is ticking, but we’ve just carved out a rift in space‑time to open Cole Hunter: Payback Community Hub. It’s empty vacuum right now, so let’s pump some life into it.

What’s in the cargo hold today?

  • Steam page is LIVE – hit that shiny green Wishlist button so Valve’s algorithmic Overlords keep showing us to more would‑be outlaws.

  • Official Discord is open – grab an invite, snag Founder status, and tell us what weapons you want to strap onto your scrap‑metal gunship.

  • Screenshot & GIF teasers dropping every 48 h – because motion sells, static dies in space.

  • Short raw‑gameplay trailer. You’ll see zero cut‑scenes, just pure dakka.

Why bother?

Because we’re building a 2D horizontal shmup‑roguelite where you… • Craft degenerately broken builds every 10‑minute run • Dodge soft bullet‑hell swarms—Touhou‑lite intensity (okay, maybe we got carried away on this one 😉) • Pay off a galaxy‑wide debt to a crime lord who never misses a payment deadline

How you can boost thrust right now:

  1. Join the Discord – early testers get their callsigns etched in the credits.

  2. Wishlist + Follow the Steam page.

  3. Drop an emoji below if you’ve mastered the art of flying with 3 HP and a dream.

Roadmap (warp‑compressed):

  • 📅 21 Jul – Steam page LIVE!

  • 📅 01 Aug – Call for early playtesters goes live on Steam.

  • 📅 15 Aug – Playtest for core gameplay

Get comfy, tighten harnesses, and keep an eye on this feed. The void is vast, but together we’ll make it thunder.
