#Naser goodbye volcano high update

It's been a big month for us, dinos! The whole development team has been hard at work finishing this darn game, and it's looking so beautiful. And now we're in the mix! We're so honoured. I remember watching talks the past few years and being so impressed with the way they run this fest, and the types of games they highlight. It's so overwhelmingly wonderful to get to be a part of LudoNarraCon. We were, however, very sorry our online dino delegates didn't get a chance to play the demo 💔 Wouldn't you know it though, that's all about to change.īecause we are proud to announce that the first online demo for Goodbye Volcano High will make its debut at LudoNarraCon this coming May 4th-8th! YES THAT'S RIGHT DINOS. Getting to hear all your thoughts and all the things people were excited about was like a balm on our weary souls! We can't thank you enough. Thanks for this amazing round up of all the press on GVH's demo!

In addition to our dev updates though, we've finally been able to get Goodbye Volcano High into people's hands! Not the full game of course, but our demo! In March we had our first opportunities to get hands-on thoughts from other game developers at GDC's Day of the Devs, where we were one of a handful of games curated for the event, and at PAX East, which was the first time consumers got their claws on the Goodbye Volcano High demo. We're Team Fang, in case you missed that).

Our integration team is so efficient right now it's wild, and we've gotten an assist from our Team Pilgrim programmers (in case you missed it: we operate under a 'two team' format, where one team is making a game while another is in concept development so we always have something on the go. We’re also down to just a few pick-up lines of dialogue before we fully wrap on VO, which is huge, and our background art team is almost done, with only two members of our background art team remaining 🥺 It’s so bittersweet to off-board team members from a game as it wraps up! Right now, the name of the game is integration: getting alllll those assets into Unity. The animations have been split up into two categories: poses or in-betweens (sound off in the comments if you wanna learn more about this process). Our animation team is on a strict wrap schedule that has all their remaining work mapped out for the rest of the game.

Starting our dev update off with what's important lol: All the KO_OP staff members have their own dinosona now a lot of them are actually in this picture, at a big concert on the roof of the school. Thank you so much for your understanding - we can’t wait for you to play what we’ve been working on. Soon, we’ll be premiering another public demo and we hope you’ll all have the chance to check it out. We need a bit more time to make sure all that work really shines! We’ve been so honoured to hear such a positive response to our demo. GVH is a really special project for us and everyone on our team has done incredible work on this game. I know this isn't the easiest thing to hear-it is a difficult thing for us to do. This delay also moves our launch date out of a very busy June release calendar, opening us up to more incredible opportunities, and gives the game a greater chance of success. Meeting our original launch date would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out.

Plus, we’re a studio that prides itself on avoiding crunch. We don’t want to release anything less than the best version of the game we have been making throughout our development cycle. This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward.

The reality is that, with our current workload, we could not have met our June launch date without significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game. After assessing our production schedule for GVH, we’ve made the decision to move our launch to August 29, 2023. We have an important update for you regarding Goodbye Volcano High’s release date.
