The Pinto Overworld Demo is Here!

Backers, rejoice!

The overworld demo is finally here for you all to enjoy! Feel free to play it, tell us what you think, or even stream it on Twitch and YouTube. At this point, more than anything, we want to know what you think of the improvements so far. This here is the foundational overworld we will be building the rest of the game off of after all.

We apologize for the long wait. Game development always presents new micro-challenges every day and we're taking them on one at a time. But it's all adding up to something special. We're still on track for a 2022 release, but it's already looking a lot more like a Fall launch than a Summer one.

Anybody at the Generosity tier and above can see our Daily Reports on Discord and see the things we knock out on a daily basis, but for the sake of transparency, we will now include mini-progress newsletters for all backers to see every couple of weeks going forward. (Even if the news isn't always as exciting as adding shiny features.)

Thanks for sticking around, and enjoy the demo!
