Greetings Golden Retrievers and welcome to our first development update! My brother and I have been having a great time developing the game this summer. The game has officially been in development for over a year now! We've been testing out new ideas and refining old ones. We think you'll be happy with the progress and we'd like to update you on the game.
Where We Were Last Summer
Last summer was the very beginning of the games development. We had implemented and tested the initial concept of gameplay. We figured out what was fun, and what wasn't. Made modifications, and implemented features from the feedback we got. We took down the old demo and are currently working on the newer demo.
