Welcome to the Club!
This is our very first monthly update for TOKENS, designed to keep you in the loop with everything happening behind the scenes.
The Pégases Reveal
This month was a major milestone for us. We had the incredible honor of revealing TOKENS during the prestigious Pégases Awards. Seeing our trailer play on the big screen in such a venue was both a humbling and exhilarating experience.
Also, I get to catch up with friends from the "industry"! Yaye!

Demo Launch
The TOKENS demo is officially live! We’ve already had roughly 500 players jump in, and the response so far is very positive. Thank you people!
If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time! The demo is packed with dozens of Arcanes and Effigies, offering tons of viable strategies. If you do play, please consider leaving a review, it helps us immensely with visibility.
Logo Update: Keeping it Human
Last week, I shared our logo on the IndieDev subreddit. Thanks to that community’s keen eyes, I discovered that the logo I had commissioned, which was sold to me as human-made, was actually AI-generated.
While AI can be a useful help in the creative process, it shouldn't and can't replace human skill and creativity. I decided to scrap the paid version and revisit my first draft. It took some refinement, but this version feels more authentic, and I’m really proud of how it turned out! What do you think?
What’s Next?
We are currently focusing on Difficulty Levels and "Special Nights" (our alternative game modes). These additions require some significant changes to the save system and overall game architecture, but our programmer, Paul, is hard at work making it happen.
I can’t wait to share more specific details with you next month!

Have a great night, and see you soon in the Club. 🎩✨
