IT’S LAUNCH DAY!!!!
Holy s__t we actually launched. This has been a very weird journey working on a very weird game, and I am absolutely stoked for everyone to finally get a chance to play it!
Even before launch, this game has gone places we never dreamed it would go--with nearly 30,000 wishlists and over 9,000 followers on Twitter, the fan support has been absolutely unreal. Game dev can be a frightening, arduous process full of self-doubt, and it’s no exaggeration to say that this project wouldn’t have been possible without you all. From the bottom of our heart, thank you for taking an interest in our game and humbling us every day with your positive attitudes.
We need a drink
But enough of the mushy crap. Besides just generally walking around in the afterglow and chatting on Discord, Nick and Caelan will be hanging out on Twitch at 6PM PST today for a little post-launch debauchery. There will be drinking. There might be chicken nuggets. We just got Twitch Affiliate status on the Aggro Crab account, so if for some reason you wanna pay us MORE money, you can do that there too. It’ll be fun, come chill!
As always, the best place to discuss the game is on the Going Under discord! Tell us how much you love/hate the game! Tell us about all the very cool bugs you found! Post your thirsty fanfiction! The sky is the limit.
Join the Going Under Discord!
Find us on Twitch!
BANGERS
As a side note, I’d be stupid not to mention the game’s incredible OST here! Composed by King Felix with a special bonus track from Chong the Nomad, it’s 29 sick tracks of Going Under goodness to let you feel like you’re interning even on your day off! You can buy it separately or as a bundle with the game on Steam! Go nutssss
RIP Mac
A short admission of guilt: We mentioned offhand to some of our Discord users that we were hoping to have the OSX version of Going Under ready on launch day. As you may have noticed, that…didn’t happen. It’s totally our fault, we’re inexperienced with releasing games on Mac (and especially the new requirements that have popped up in the past year) and we vastly underestimated the time required. That’s on us, and we’re going to do our best to get the OSX version on Steam as soon as possible, hopefully during October.
Stay tuned...
Now, let’s briefly talk about THE FUTURE. A lot of players have been asking what’s next for Going Under after we launch, and I’m pleased to say we have not one, but TWO free content expansions planned for the game. So assuming our company doesn’t literally Go Under sometime in the next few months, you’ve got a lot more internship to look forward to.
This is a card from the Bestiary!!!! It’s coming!!! we promise!!
These future patches will include not only new content, but also plenty of bugfixes & community suggestions! So if you’ve got any cool ideas for the game, accessibility concerns, or bugs you’ve found, don’t hesitate to let us know on Discord!
We’ll be posting the Going Under Roadmap sometime in the next few weeks to make this all official--until then, we hope you enjoy the base game!
See you in the dungeon, interns!
