MONTHLY ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER

Dear Survivors,

Welcome to our September Roundup, where we highlight our development progress, what challenges we faced, and what worked well.

1. Development of WHEN DAY BREAKS Has Begun

We are excited to announce that development of WHEN DAY BREAKS is officially underway. After finalizing key details such as the story, title, and general setting, we made significant strides. This is a major milestone for us, as it marks our first game. Being able to share this news with an audience, no matter the size, is a huge achievement and strengthens our determination to deliver a game that meets both your expectations and our highest standards. We are committed to maximizing our capabilities to create something truly remarkable.

2. Launch of Our Official Discord Server

With the growing interest in our project, spurred by a few teasers and trailers, we decided to launch our very own Community Discord server. A special thanks to our Community Manager, Clawface, for their efforts in setting up and managing the server. And thank you to everyone who has already joined! If you haven’t joined yet, you can find the link to our Discord server HERE.

3. Transition from Unreal Engine to Unity 5

To ensure stability and foster stronger collaboration within our development team, we have transitioned from Unreal Engine to Unity 5 for the remainder of WHEN DAY BREAKS development. This decision was influenced by several factors, including improved stability for both developers and players, as well as enhanced teamwork management. Unity’s built-in Team Cloud system allows us to efficiently share new builds and showcase progress. While we appreciate the advancements Unreal Engine continues to make, we will revisit it when it offers a comparable management system.

4. Open Applications for Our Development Team

As part of our growth strategy, we are expanding our development team. To that end, we have opened applications for individuals interested in joining us. We are thrilled with the submissions received so far and are carefully reviewing each one. If you’re interested in contributing, we welcome your application!

Thank you for reading this month’s roundup! Be sure to follow our real-time updates on Discord.
