Update from the Team

Hello River Dwellers

This has been quite a busy month for the new year. Only a few things to update on the game side of things. Mainly house keeping with the save manager and how the profiles are handled. This is going to allow Fortunes to focus on building things rather than fixing save profiles with every update. This also means we will likely have a downloadable demo coming soon so anyone interested in the project can check how it will run on their hardware.

In addition to these house keeping updates we have some real world news. We have officially been accepted and squared away the formal stuff for Midwest Gaming Convention. We will have a small 8ftx8ft space in the Future Classics section that we plan to showcase Clover at. We still have alot to do to prepare for MGC such as getting our steam page up and running. We want to get that available so that people can start wishlisting Clover.

Finally we also have a new banner thanks to Pain&Suffering! We are extremely excited to start showing off their artwork outside of the pixel art they have been doing. This next month we will also be updating a few more of the animations for Clover themselves. We also hope to add in several other assets and decorations to help the world feel more alive. In addition to this there will also be a focus on getting assets put together and ready for steam. This means that the itch page will also be getting an overhaul in the coming month or maybe even weeks.

That is all we have for now. Take care and keep being awesome!
