Welcome to the Frontier, Pioneers!

Hello, Pioneers! We're now a little over two weeks on from the announcement of MERIDIAN, and I wanted to just check in with you all.

I'm happy to say that we've just passed the milestone of 200 wishlists on Steam, which is brilliant for a little over a week, with very little marketing so far and at this still-early point in development.

It was really important to me to get the Steam page up and running and start building a community early - I want to be open and direct in the development of the game, taking your ideas and feedback on board, and creating a game for everyone!

Thank-you to everyone so far who has wishlisted, followed, shared the announcement of the game, or just left a nice comment! I read every single thing, and your support has made me smile every day.

Please keep spreading the word about the game to your friends, and if you haven't already(!), please do Wishlist! It really helps!

Kickstarter Pre-Registration

I'm planning to put up a Kickstarter for the game early next year, and it would help me out a lot in getting the word out there if you were to click the image below and pre-register!



I'm currently fully self-funding the game so a successful Kickstarter would provide the project-finance security needed to complete the game!

Select 'Notify me on launch' to pre-register! This does not commit you to anything!

Go register today! ❤

Development Updates

If you're interested in following development more closely, providing input and ideas, and generally staying one step ahead of everyone else, you can do so in a variety of ways!

An example of a couple of things from the past week that I've shared on the platforms below...

A fully-featured search function for the crafting system in the game!

A behind-the-scenes look at how I worked with the awesome Lisa Venturini on concepts for the game! (Click the image for much more!)

and much more! So...



We have a Discord server you can get involved in where I post behind-the-scenes news and snippets of development more often than on other platforms, so this is the best place to be for the latest news.

Being here is also your best chance at getting in on a future playtest! ːB1ː

[h2]Future Development Updates[/h2]

I'm planning to post development updates on specific features and areas of the game as development continues, but I want to know what you'd like to see and hear about!

Leave a comment or start a Discussion in the Steam Community and let me know!

[h3]Thanks again for your support, see you next time![/h3]
