HI GUYS!
So, we just hit 5000 wishlists. I can’t even say how huge this is for me and the crew.
Fay started as a homage project. We never expected to receive this much love and support from everyone. Made me think that it would be really cool to share a bit more of the development process with yall.
So, welcome to OUR FIRST DEVLOG!!
📺 We got a shot out!!
I’m opening our first dev log with some BIG news: Gym Leader Ed, one of the biggest creators in the monster-taming genre, featured Fay Keeper in one of his recent videos. As someone who has been following him for years, to see my project featured in his channel literally made me tear up.
We’re super grateful for the shoutout man!
And if you found Fay through him, welcome aboard! 💚
