Strangers on Paper changes
Last year, we used to talk about this Christmas between the two of us. At one point, it was our biggest (and most ambitious) goal that we would have finished SoP by this time. Things couldn’t be more different in our lives individually to where we were when we said that, and yet, one thing hasn’t changed: as a team, we are still here for our game.
Despite trials and tribulations, we still get excited over every little step we take in development. We still push and encourage each other, we still show up to do our best, we still look for new ways to do things.
I want to sit here with this page and acknowledge that because there’s no hiding that things have been awfully rough. We’ve been trying to communicate with you guys through the process of it all - and failing because we always tell each other “we’ll write a post when we have a build to share” and that is simply and depressingly not the case yet. And I think that may be a stone we are gonna have to keep tripping over before we fully learn our lesson.
I don’t want this post to sound all that gloomy despite our name, so I can share that every change and edit we have been implementing has been for the best and I personally do believe Chapter 3 will be well worth the wait, simply because we love it and we ourselves are both the biggest fans and biggest critics of our game. I can also say we are currently approaching beta testing and it’s almost funny how the idea of other eyes and minds finally digging into something we’ve been holding onto for so freaking long makes us feel like newbies all over again. The holidays will hopefully give us enough time to finally make that happen, and in between sprints of alpha testing, we’ve managed to put together a little Christmas treat to stay festive.
Another little thing we canshare is a snippet to a song that is featured in this chapter. I mentioned it a while back, but this is a track we made along with a friend of ours who will go by Lipa (not Dua, we don’t have that kind of budget) and Javi, who played the guitar for the menu track, very kindly played for this one as well:
We always hope to come back with brighter news for you all, we thank you all for your support, your lovely messages, and the love you show for our characters and this project.
Happy holidays everyone, and a great start to the year!
