Hey there! 👋
Are you wondering what all this fuss is about? Well, let me tell you a story! My friend Luisa and I started working on Roboplant in the winter of 2020. It's our first commercial project, and we wanted to do something we really like - agriculture and technology, with a touch of cuteness, of course. At that time, I still had a full-time job, so I worked on Roboplant during nights and weekends until I officially left my job to focus on game development in June 2021. To be honest, it was a scary decision to leave a steady salary for the unknown, but it was totally worth it!
On the other hand, Luisa still maintains another job but helps out with concepts and cool designs whenever she has some free time. We needed some form of stability - yes, we're partners in real life too!
We officially launched Rebelpug Studio in March 2021, in a small Italian city called Biella. You've probably never heard of it - it's not very touristy! The bureaucracy of opening a company was pretty stressful, but at the same time, we were thrilled to start building something.
As we were building the core of Roboplant, we got help from a freelance 3D artist named Alessia. Once we were a bit further along, to be precise, in August 2021, she joined our family. Since then, she's been wandering around the Discord server trying to figure out the next cool model to add to the game.
Of course, we've interacted and worked with many other amazing people, but the strongest bond has been with Marek, our music composer. Yes, the playlist on Steam is his own creation! He's always trying to integrate the best music effects and create the most unique music. He joins us in our discussions on new features, the best pizza, and the latest episode of The Last of Us.
Last but not least, it's you! I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true - your feedback, support, and constant presence have helped us so much. And I don't think we could be here today without you! Plus, your ability to find the strangest bugs is astonishing 😂 - you can always spot some I left behind!
By the way, want to see something really cool? Here's one of the first gifs we ever made of Roboplant when we were still figuring out the building system!
All of this is just to explain why we're launching our biggest discount ever on Steam 😂. It's Rebelpug's anniversary 🎉🎉!
Okay, I won't bore you with any more of that stuff. Let's catch up soon!
See you later
