The road so far...
It might sound corny, but you have no idea how blessed and proud I feel to have embarked on this amazing journey to create Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale.
Recreating part of our history, celebrating ancestral cultures, reviving thousand-year-old tales in a video game, it is truly a dream come true, something I've been fantasizing about since childhood.
Many years later, I find myself living the dream, working with a talented team of archaeologists, anthropologists, concept artists, 3D designers and my marketing team, all of us riding on this train, moving along, reaching Mictlan.
We have been working for months without rest. We are tired, but we love what we're doing. The need, the love, the aspiration to create the first open-world video game revolving around the Mesoamerican culture and the ancient people of Mexico, is the gasoline that keeps us going everyday, encouraging us to pour everything we have in this project.
I would like to thank my amazing Mictlan team, without them I would not have been able to get to where we are. We have achieved so much in so little time, but still, the road is long and we still have another 2 or 3 years of development to go. I'm sure that tears will be shed, tears of frustration and happiness, but it will all be worth it.
We believe in Mictlan and I want to personally thank all of you, in our community, who have been following us since the beginning. We're not just a community anymore, we've become a family which is continuing to expand. We are inspired and have inspired other developers as well, changing, in a way, the ecosystem of the video game industry.
I can't wait to see what else awaits us, but we'll find out together!
Once again a sincere thank you, to all of you, the Mictlan team, our ancestors, and the legacy that our grandparents left us.
Sincerely,
Guillermo Alarcon
Creative Director Mictlan
