Paleo Pines 2025 Roadmap πΊ
The Paleo Pines 2025 Roadmap is here! We're so happy to be able to share our 2025 roadmap with everyone. It's taken time to solidify our plans for the year, and we appreciate your patience. We've been open about the challenges we've faced as a studio, and we're thrilled at the possibility of reuniting some of the original team to bring more content to Paleo Pines! We want to be totally transparent with everyone - in late 2024 when things were particularly bleak, we really considered shuttering the project altogether. The financial and emotional strain was significant. However, after careful consideration, we realized that stopping wouldn't be fair to our dedicated team or our supportive community. So much passion has been poured into this project, and your support through plushie and merch sales has been instrumental in keeping us going. We're still here and we're completely rejuvenated to make things happen this year! Our vibe for 2025 is all about collaborating with our players more closely than ever before through our Kickstarter, our Research Project and more! Thank you so much for still being here and we hope to do you proud this year. Thank you a million times over for your patience as we've found our way. This community continues to be an inspiration to us π
Howdy folks! π We want to share something exciting with you all- Weβve received a small amount of funding* to undertake a research project into the power of wholesome gaming, and Paleo Pines in particular, on emotional and mental health, with a focus on neurodiverse/neurodivergent players! This research will be done through online surveys, both quantitative and qualitative.
We want to find out what parts of wholesome/cosy/peaceful gaming really promote relaxation, focus, and other positive emotions, and this research will help us identify which game design elements may contribute to this positive impact to inform future game development, both for Paleo Pines and the wider gaming industry. This first survey is a short one to gather some broader information, and to collect interest in the next surveys! Thank you all for participating, and if you have any friends or family who've played Paleo Pines (even just the demo!) and may be interested, please do share this with them! ππ¦
Participate here: https://forms.gle/FytVnrC8oq2Ehemo9 β¨ This survey will be open until March 4th 2025 π * This research is independently funded, separate from game and merchandise development.
