Hi Everyone
This month I've got some really exciting news. Last year I applied for funding from Screen Australia in the form of their Emerging Gamemakers Fund, and I was successful. It's only just been officially announced, so I haven't been able to talk about it until now.
What does that mean? Well, for the past few months I have been able to spend a lot more time working on the development of Orion's End. I have been able to make substantial progress that I wouldn't have been able to achieve without this support. The game systems are starting to connect together in such a way now, that providing a demo in the not-too-distant future is actually achievable. To me, that is really exciting.
To complement this news, I have updated the Steam page to reflect the current state of the game, with new screenshots and a new trailer. In this trailer, for the first time, I haven't been able to give peeks into every part of the game. That means that the amount of content in the game now has really grown.
I'll post more updates on social media and in the Orion's End discord. I've covered a good selection of social media so there should be something in there that you have, if you want to keep up to date.
Thanks for keeping track of the project and I look forward to telling you more soon.
Happy travels.
Dave
