Retrospective part 1
Hey guys,
do you remember me? Stupid question, nobody forgets a talking hamster, right? Perhaps you are wondering why it has become so quiet here. Don't worry, I didn't collapse in the gravity gun. No, there were good reasons for my silence. My crew was just too busy to let me talkt o you. But one after anonther …
Less than a year ago we started our small project. In record time, we built a tech demo and so we flocked to games fairs all year round to let them play and test your brains. We evaluated the feedback, and let's put it that way, it makes us proud and a lot of courage to continue on the path. But with a little distance, we were also able to gain a sober and critical look, which has had all kinds of consequences.
We were aware that we would raise the bar enormously if we gave “Portal” as a reference. The second part in particular is a prime example of how well ingenious gameplay can be interwoven with a strong and insane narration. And we have also become aware that if we continue as before, we will not even come close to this level.
No question, my crew is talented, passionate, ambitious, even a little bit crazy. However, the number of bipeds is also manageable and therefore limited. We could have continued to develop for many years, but in the end we still did not meet our requirements. Just bringing out a game that is known as a successful portal clone has become too little for us. We prefer to make a game that will be called “Portal” or “The Talos Principle” in the same breath in the future. We put everything on one card!
We have expanded the team and are still looking for people who fit us perfectly. In addition, we have touched everything you can touch in the last few months: graphics, gameplay, story. Really everything! I think the result is mind blowing! After your feedback, we decided to work according to the motto: rather spend a lot more time in development and do it right than do it quickly and sh**y. In the end, we also have to bring a strong partner on board so that „Gravity Lane 981“ not only gets the quality, but also the scope that you want in the end. But see for yourself and make your own judgment.

In the coming entries I will go into many of the changes in more detail and show you what humanity can expect from "Gravity Lane 981" in the future. However, one thing does not change. I'm still stuck in the gun and running for my life. The usual shit!
