Citizens of Sordland! June has been a productive month for us and we've had some exciting internal developments at Torpor Games! Our design and development sprints on the product pipeline which we shared screenshots about previously has concluded, and we have entered the final polishing phase.
Cheers to Ozgun Kilit, our lead programmer, who is leading the charge on this front. The quality we have strived for will hopefully be appreciated when we finally reveal more information in the upcoming months!
In other news, Daniel Emig has joined the team as a programmer. Daniel studied Game Programming for 2 years, where he gained valuable experiences in multiple student projects on cross-functional teams. Afterwards he worked one year at a motion capture company and helped them create their own first (VR) game, for multiple platforms. Welcome Daniel!
With Daniel joining us we are picking up speed on another product pipeline. Design work has begun, it is a bit too early to tell how the implementation will proceed, since this one is just starting fresh, but it benefits a lot from the knowledge gained from the previous pipeline. Additional support is on the way with our new team member Juan, who will be joining Torpor in July and will push forward this pipeline with Daniel. More on the new team member on the next broadcast.
On the 10th of June we broadcast a live Q&A where we announced our biggest discount ever at -25% in conjunction with our Publisher Fellow Travellers' Steam Sale. Today is the last day to get Suzerain at a -25% discount as part of the Steam Summer Sale.
Another announcement we made during the live Q&A was that we have partnered up with The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante and Yes, Your Grace to bring the Fateful Hour Bundle, which will have a base discount of -15%.
You can check out the recording of the Q&A here if you missed it.
As we enter July, we are organising a community event, the Hearts of Iron IV multiplayer lobby with the Suzerain devs. There is still time until the end of this week to let us know if you'd like to participate. The event will take place on the 23rd and 24th of July between 5pm and 10pm CEST. For more info, join the Suzerain Discord Server.
Finally, our brand-new project has gotten greenlight for prototyping in our local state which means we can experiment on something new without financially putting the company in a high-risk situation. Most importantly it also allows us to hire new talent to push forward what we can do as Torpor Games and be more ambitious.
Ata and Ilke have arrived at Spelkollektivet in Sweden, where they have been working hard on researching detailed concepts and making sure that our core knowledge regarding the overarching subject and themes about this project are sound before the real experimentation begins in the upcoming months.
All hands are on deck, and we are cruising forward! We thank for your patience and support.
Vectern sis da!
