The first half of November was already a blast: last week we exhibited our prototype at the Hack&Make, a side event of the Consumenta. A big shoutout to the FabLab Nürnberg for inviting us! 😍
And this week, Michelle and Felix went to the GodotFest, the new annual community event celebrating the Godot Engine, in Munich. Thanks again to Games/Bavaria for giving us the opportunity to attend this amazing event! 💚

Hiya, Desert Folk! 🙋‍♂️
It was a bit quiet around us lately after gamescom. This will change again from now on and we will be posting especially more devlog insights.
Last week we've entered a new production phase and will be working, fully focused, for the next months towards a demo! Excitiiing 😍

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to showcase our prototype at the Games&Future Festival in Fürth. Aside from that, our game designer and founder Felix took part in the opening talk and gave interesting insights into games and learning with the rest of Distant Meadows playing BotW in the background - for illustration reasons of course. 🎮👀 We had a lot of fun spending the day at the festival and we even painted our own little gaming pins at the Nerd-Gilde booth! 🙌💚
