Team JetCat SITREP
Greetings Pilots! Rayne here from Team JetCat to give you an overview of our first month on steam early access, as well as some information on upcoming features, content, and updates. Let's start with the a full overview of TeamJetCat,
The first full month of sales have seen us hit close to the 12,000 Unit mark, which for a team like ours, is very successful, more so than we could have hoped for. This means that JetCatGames has enough operating revenue from the first month, as well as more funding from our investors, to hire on four new team members, and cover the rest of the years development costs. The extra funding from our investors, for those curious, comes in part, because they are just as happy to see the concept proven and desired as we are. All of this, as a note, is thanks to all of you! Your support, feedback, and dedication to us and our project makes us smile daily. The whole team is happy, working hard, and dedicated to the months that are to come.
With the note of new-hires, we'd like to make mention that we are in talks with a new 3D modeling artist, a dedicated Level Designer, and two new programmers. The success of month one also allows some of our team to take on new and extended responsibilities as well. I myself will be moving to help support QA, Bug Fixing, Balance and even assisting with Level/Map Design as we move forward.
Overall, our first 30 days was a massive success! Thank you all!
