What now?

The campaign has ended, I took some time to rest and I'm already back to work on the game! There's a full development-heavy summer ahead of me and I couldn't be more excited! ๐Ÿคฉ

I will be cooking something special for you for fall, and if you want to stay on track with all the game news and updates, devlogs from me - join Discord!

And while you're waiting, you can read my first ever interview!! I was sharing what inspired me to create this game, my challenges, about Kickstarter too - read here ๐ŸŒŸ

Afterthought

This campaign was a big test of my strength and stress resilience, and the most exhausting experience of my life. I was doing everything myself, so I had to put in A LOT of work - I worked 2 months for 16-18 hours a day without weekends. I learned SO MUCH about crowdfunding, marketing and gamedev in general, and I'm really proud of myself!

Thank you for following my journey and supporting me! This is only the beginning! Make sure to wishlist Velanit and tell your friends about it ๐Ÿ’œ
