SunnySide News

An Update from our Publisher


Hello!

First of all, we would like to say a big thank you to all the Kickstarter and Backerkit backers who participated in the recent SunnySide playtests and gave their feedback. We received an incredible wealth of positive responses as well as some very insightful assessments, and we have a clear roadmap for what needs to be done to ensure SunnySide meets and exceeds your expectations.

RainyGames wants to personally thank all of you for your trust, patience, and well wishes this year, as well as your support for Rainy, SunnySide’s lead developer, as he recovered from his serious health scare this past spring. We are very excited for everyone to enjoy the full SunnySide experience in 2024!

Regards,
Merge Games

SunnySide Production Update

Next Fest - Character Creator Demo

Hey everyone!

[h2]SunnySide's Character Creator Demo features as a part of Next Fest![/h2]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1746930/SunnySide/

Haven't played yet and don't know what's included in this demo? Then everything you need to know is here!

The SunnySide Character Creator Demo features the character creator taken straight from the start of your in-game SunnySide journey. Designing your own character is something we know players love to do, and we have made sure to give players full control over the body shape of their character and how they identify their gender.

At the end of the Character Creator, players will be given the chance to share their Squirrel Profile (the in-game social messaging app) ID Card across real-world social media and join our Discord, where you can interact with other passionate players and fans of our game! Be sure to tag your posts with #ShowYourSunnySide to share your creation amongst the community.

Whilst the demo doesn't continue into the gameplay, players are able to save their created character to their PC or laptop, and import the file into the full game when it releases later in 2023, allowing players to dive straight into their farming journey!

We can't wait to see the amazing characters you create, and we're so excited to bring you more SunnySide news and content soon!

See you soon!
