Current Goal: Showcase Momento at GDC and keep polishing our current build
Hey everyone! How are you all doing? March is going to be very busy for us, but first things first:
Happy Birthday, Momento! 🎉🎉🎉
It’s been almost a year since we first came up with the idea of Momento and we’ve come so far in a year. Thank you for your continued support and interest in our cozy little game! (Also it’s Issy’s birthday in less than a week too! Happy birthday, Issy - I don’t know how you’re already one year old but it feels like it’s been an entire lifetime!)
Momento will also be part of the Women Led Games Showcase on March 8-10! Celebrate International Women’s Day with us by watching the live show on Twitch or Youtube on March 8th 5PM EST!
I (Jess) was selected to be part of the Future Leaders’ Delegation organised by the games section of the Australian Government - so I will be headed over to San Francisco to showcase Momento at some events during the Game Developers’ Conference. Jasmine and Julian will be manning the fort!
Back to the game’s progress! What’s been going on?
- Testing how best to structure our naming conventions so we don’t have to redo it a million times
- Freshening up our pitch deck for GDC
- Lining up meetings, and meetings, and more meetings…
