You know when you really want to release your game on Steam but then completely forget Steam dev logs are a thing? No? Just us? Dang it.
It’s been quite a long time and we figured for this one we’d go back to basics, so… Hi!
We’re Gizmo and Grogu, both from Argentina, two strangers who bonded over their passion to bring stories of their own creation to life. Gizmo is the writer, while Grogu is the coder and artist. We’ve been working on SoP while managing full-time jobs and so far it’s been nothing but challenging and incredibly rewarding all the same. What started as a “let’s make a silly short game” soon became a project that we have become really proud of, and to which we’ve been devoting as much of our free time as we can, not to mention a lot of love.
As cheesy as it sounds, the more progress we make with it, the more we want it to see it succeed. You may have read on the Steam page that Strangers on Paper will consist of 4 chapters in total, with the first two chapters coming soon on steam. Now, “soon” has been relative for a while now, because we really wanted to ensure players coming to it would find a good amount of playtime and content to explore. Like we said, even up to its completion, this will be a short game compared to others in similar categories, and we truly want to make it be worth your while. If you add a ton of personal and technical challenges into the mix… yeah, it’s been a ride so far.
For the past few months, we have been working on Chapter 3 while introducing a lot of coding and visual improvements to our main build of the game - which lately has been starting to take shape and color and life, almost ready to be set free into the wild. We can ensure now the game will be released in English, Chinese and Spanish, and over time, we hope to add more languages.
We’ll leave you with a preview of the design for our extras menu, some preview images, along with a HUGE thank you for reading and showing interest in our game!
