October Development Report

Hey Steel Dragons!

At the end of August we debuted our Gamescom 2021 trailer, and since that time, we’ve been hard at work on not only refining the game, but also looking closely at many of the common issues you’ve encountered.

Before we get onto those, we thought we’d point out a few things that have been happening since Gamescom.

A Little Bit Of Our Development Process

First up, we’ve continued trickling out some small videos showcasing our development process.

You might have missed a couple of the last from “Camera Control” that lets you use the middle-mouse button for far more flexibility.

We also showcased “Floor Visibility Control” to manually toggle between visible floors, along with more UI Updates. A few days ago we released “Continue Move”, a long anticipated feature to continue your movement after a mercenary stops, if they detect a new enemy midway, allowing you to re-evaluate your strategy.

To see similar improvements and updates, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube or follow us over on Twitter .

We Were A NGDC Grand-Finalist!

The Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC) recently selected its grand finalists for this year's Game of the Year and People’s Choice award, and we’re proud to say Project Haven, against a selection of brilliant games, made the final three! While we didn’t lift the trophy, we’re thrilled to have made the final round. You can view all the entrants here, and the final results here.

Project Haven Is A Fan Favorite Winner!

We’re also incredibly pleased to say that we were not only part of, but have won round 32 of GDWC’s Fan Favourite selection. Amongst the company of 8 other incredible games, readers were able to cast their vote to support Project Haven for the crown. We were up against some exceptional games, and we’re humbled to have been chosen as the winner. You can view the GDWC Trailer below, as well as our winners page here.

Finally, and before we dive into our FAQ, YouTuber Brought To Bear recently chatted with us about all things Project Haven.

We’re not only grateful for him taking the time out to talk to us, but also his knowledge of the game and his support of it. His first video from June 2021 perfectly captures our journey.
