Dear Gamers,
Thank you for your incredible interest and support for SameShadow: Fernando's Journey. Your enthusiasm, whether through playing the demos, beta testing, or simply showing your support, means the world to my family and I.
As a solo developer, I've poured over three years of my life into this project, juggling full-time work to support both my family and the game's development. It's been a labor of love, driven by a deep passion for crafting something truly special within the SameShadow universe.
Launching Fernando's Journey was a pivotal moment for me. It's a challenging game, designed to push your skills and strategic thinking to the limit. With a vast skill tree offering 115 different passive skills and abilities, mastering your fighting style requires time, dedication, and a willingness to strategize.
Stepping into the shoes of Fernando, you'll find yourself on a bridge before a fallen Ukrainian city, facing off against a relentless military force. But this isn't a walk in the park; it's a semi-realistic third-person shooter roguelike where every decision matters. Death is inevitable, but through careful planning and skillful execution, victory can be yours.
The randomized city ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, adding an element of unpredictability to every session. Your journey will be fraught with challenges, mirroring the struggles faced by the real-world inhabitants of Ukraine. But it's within these struggles that true victory lies.
Steam Next Fest provided an invaluable opportunity to gauge interest in Fernando's Journey, and the support from gamers like you has been humbling. Sales from this game will fuel the future of SameShadow, allowing me to expand and improve upon the foundation laid by Fernando's Journey.
If you've enjoyed the journey so far, I urge you to wishlist the game and follow along for future updates. SameShadow: Fernando's Journey will be available for sale after the February Steam Next Fest, and I can't wait to share more of this world with you.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for joining me on this incredible journey.
Best,
GrandPaw Games
