After a year in development we are absolutely THRILLED to announce that our freshman offering, Midnight Murder Maze is releasing into Early Access today!
Whew, this is a huge day for us here at Rum Shack Studios for many reasons, let me list a few...
We've been working on this title for almost a year. Originally it was conceived as an entry into Spooky 2D Jam 2024 (the cool kids running it, Theo and Chloe, are running another one this year!)
As our freshman title we certainly focused on building our game dev skills, but this past year was as much about building RS as an actual company. One with adult-ish things like incorporation, bank accounts, logos, and other such stuff.
We matured our overall workflow across our entire dev-ops cycle.
We know how to sling us some code, baby!! (Oh lordy, our early code now looks soooo bad in comparison!)
We've learned that Unity scenes aren't all that.
And we have, of course, learned how to mount up a game on Steam and get it out to you lovelies.
On a personal note, I have been working for sooooo long to move my career over to game-dev and this first small step is actually huge. Thanks to all of my family, all of the Shackers and of course all of you for supporting our efforts.
Cheers,
LazySumo!
