Hello Friendos!

Reality remains as baffling as ever though we're delighted to report it has gotten considerably less baffling and empirically more finished-looking. The team has continued its enthusiastic poking at code, its rearranging of bits (yes, still a clever pun, we will die on this hill), and its shoveling of heroic quantities of fun into the project. Things now move in ways that feel suspiciously, almost unnervingly intentional. Progress continues at a brisk and rather pleasing clip, interrupted only by the traditional ritual of standing around, nodding sagely, and insisting this was the plan all along, despite considerable evidence to the contrary.

We must, however, confess to a small disappearance. For a stretch of recent months, we went rather quiet, and this was not laziness, nor was it an elaborate hoax involving stand-ins. It was because we were thoroughly sidetracked working on “Something Else”…

We can't tell you what.
There may be conflicts of an interstellar variety involved.
There may be stars, the actual burning kind, doing whatever unspeakable things stars do when they think no one's watching. We are not confirming any of this. We are also not denying it, which, if you've spent any time around secrets, you'll recognize as the loudest possible way of confirming it. Rest assured it was a very good reason to vanish, and the moment we're permitted to say more, we will say considerably more than this.

In the meantime, our flagship title Papafishu — the one thing we can talk about — has kept charging forward, and we'll be showing you the fruits of it very soon. Proper look, not just a knowing wink and a change log.

We've ventured out into the wilds of civilization, making appearances at the DICE Summit, Emerald City Comic Con, Game Developers Conference, plenty of Indie meetups, and there’s a few shows overseas on the horizon! We’ve been trading ideas with brilliant humans, begging for financial support, showing things we probably weren't cleared to show, and returning with fresh energy and suspicious quantities of coffee. We love you and cannot wait to give you everything we are making for you.

Don’t panic.
