Hi besties!
I have some exciting news to share! Mail Time is now being published by Freedom Games ( https://freedom.gg ). For those of you who may not know, a game publisher not only provides additional investment and funding for developing the game, but also takes care of a lot of the business and marketing side of releasing a game. That includes managing the store pages and potential console release process, marketing and advertising the game, helping showcase the game at both digital and live events, PR, and a lot more. Really it lets me totally focus on working to make the game the best it can be, and provides me with the resources to do so.
You may also be worried about horror stories of publishers ruining the vision of a game or forcing arbitrary restrictions on the dev team. For Freedom, that can’t be further from the reality we have experienced with them. Freedom has been an amazing partner to me, only enhancing and supporting my vision. I selected Freedom because they are committed to my vision of the game, and only want to see it reach its full potential as I see it. I maintain complete creative and development freedom, and Freedom (heh) wouldn’t have it any other way.
Dev Updates
Now to get into some updates as to what all I’ve been working on lately for Mail Time! A lot of what I’ve been working on has been about player customization.
I started off with adding customization for the player’s backpack. Here’s a look at what those new options are that you’ll be able to pick from in game.
Next I finished adding in all of the different hairstyles and colors.
I also added in skin color customization as well as different outfits to choose from!
Thank you all for your support so far throughout development! If you want more of a behind the scenes look at the game, or to just be a part of our fantastic Mail Time community, you should join our Discord. Also don’t forget to wishlist Mail Time while you’re here on Steam.
