Reached a Milestone
[previewyoutube=DGVdDWpMYUE;full][/previewyoutube]
Dear Scapers,
It has been a long journey through Early Access with you. We had a lot of fun, were thrilled by your reviews and feedback, faced some issues that we were able to solve thanks to your help, found new friends and hyper-motivated challengers. TerraScape started as an idea in 2019 as a student project with the thought of incorporating some cool mechanics from big 4X games as well as small, quick casual games, and creating something ‘in between’. We love strategy games and wanted to create something that both strategy game players and casual gamers would enjoy. Thus, the foundation for TerraScape was laid. Today, we are super proud of what has become of the small spark of an idea, and it has grown larger than we ever believed possible. We would like to thank everyone who accompanied us on this journey, were there in difficult situations, and stood by us as good teachers when we didn't know how to proceed.
The fact that this project is enjoyed by thousands of players and brings them fun is the highest praise.
But the journey is far from over; we have reached a major milestone. Our very first own game at Bitfall Studios. We have a lot more planned, not only for future projects but also for TerraScape. We will let you know soon what exactly is coming - but one thing is promised: alongside small QOL (quality of life) improvements and fixes, many new scenarios and puzzles, as well as completely new mechanics and accessibility features, as well as improved Steam Deck compatibility, are on the way. We hope you enjoy version 1.0 and that we can continue to rely on your feedback in the future. Enough of the sentimentalities, we hope you have a ton of fun scaping!
Once again, thank you all very much for your support! We would love to see you on our Discord to keep in touch.
