Status Update: Where Are We?
You can always tell when a big project is underway here at Kieffer Bros. Our connection with the outside world begins to dissolve, and our social media chatter mostly goes silent. With just three of us, our attention and energy turn almost solely to the project at hand. So what are we working on?
We’re building a new word game—a gorgeously painted, highly re-playable, tactically deep word game adventure.
In many ways, it’s a sequel to our previous word game, Abca. More specifically, it’s a sequel to Quest, one of Abca’s gameplay modes. It takes the core concept of Quest and deepens the experience, saturates it with color, and intensifies the adventure. Even four months into production, our enthusiasm for this game hasn’t flagged one bit.
Not only are we excited about the game itself, we have been enjoying the process just as much. We like to think of this game as our studio’s thesis project—taking all the game-making lessons we’ve learned since our 2008-inception and pouring it into one product.
Keep your ear to the ground for sneak peeks and updates in the coming months.
