Justin Zorbas has been such an amazing addition to the team, he is very much someone that requires little, if any, direction before coming to us with a great first song, which I then used to make a “music video” featuring a farm in Ilysia. Justin is currently working on sounds for the gameplay trailer, and the official soundtrack itself, and boy, it is amazing so far and we are very excited for everyone to hear it.

Another great addition to the team, though she has been helping for a while, is our mother, she has had an interest in our work for a long time, as did our father, and Xander took the time to teach her how to use Unity a while back. She has been very helpful with decorating towns and homes and helping us come with story elements for the game. Our mom has spent more than a thousand hours in Skyrim VR as well as having played WoW and ESO for about 10 years in total between the two games.

All of these things, including gaining more followers on Twitter, lead to being contacted by a very large company regarding many things, things that, because of an NDA, we cannot discuss. But believe me when I say, it’s huge for us, and potentially huge for everyone else.

And that is where we are so far, our team is currently hard at work on a gameplay trailer for Ilysia, as well as launching a Kickstarter campaign very close to the release of the gameplay trailer. We have other trailers already planned and have been making leaps and bounds with Ilysia itself, this is going to be such a fun game, and we really cannot wait to play it with everyone.

Thank you so much to everyone for their support! Especially our Patreon supports, they have helped us pay our programmers for their work, it has been so incredibly helpful. We love our community and the people in it, and we cannot wait for it to continue to grow. Happy New Year to everyone reading it.
