We are very excited to launch TimeMelters version 1.0 today! It's been an incredible journey for us so far. As a team of 3, we've been working on TimeMelters for over 6 years. TimeMelters has gone through a lot of iterations in that time, long before it was in anyone's hand. We grinded out our very first Kickstarter, successfully funding it with 48 hours to go. This initial success was just the beginning; TimeMelters was lucky enough to win some awards along the way, including 5 gold awards at NYX for categories such as Best Storytelling and Best Strategy Game, as well as the Technological Innovation and Public Choice awards at MIGS, and ultimately, being crowned the grand winner of the Ubisoft Indie Contest. We still can't believe how lucky we were to win all of these awards!
Then, we had our first experiences with an Early Access title, which allowed us to engage directly with the community. The feedback we received during this period was instrumental in shaping the game and making it the best it could be. You have no idea how much the feedback we received helped us make a better game. Interacting with the community, expanding and improving TimeMelters with the help of everyone’s feedback, has been a cornerstone of our development process. The entire journey has been invaluable, and everything we’ve learned along the way makes our future projects that much better.
So thank you all for helping us get here!
Just because TimeMelters is officially out now doesn't mean we are done! We will still be listening to your comments and provide more updates and fixes as time goes on! Not to mention the console release is going to creep up on us very quickly, so stay tuned for more.
