Hey Patrons,

Doing an embedded doc on a game that's not even shown off its gameplay is a lot of work, but I'm super happy with how this episode turned out.

In it we cover how Hyper Light Breaker has effectively swapped genre to become an open world roguelike. The episode covers the technical side of that change, but also the politics involved in having to adapt the team and even communicate the change to their publisher.

It's been a wild six months covering the game's development and figuring out what our story for episode two was, but I'm really excited with how it turned out. The cadence of these episodes is likely to stay similar to this as we visit LA periodically. Once the game is out in Early Access we'll be in a great spot to start focusing on the areas you and the fanbase are interested in. This is turning out to be a really fun and interesting project.

Let us know what you think!

Danny

This was so good in terms of explaining the shift, clear and well worth the wait. Really enjoying this so far and what an exciting time to capture this shift and Alx’s deliverables concerns. It’s also fucking bananas (in a good way) you got the President of gearbox publishing for a quick chat about this - that’s some refreshing transparency from him on behalf of gearbox. Edit - if you can get an episode or section focusing on the soundtrack that would be excellent. The drifter soundtrack is so iconic and I'd love to hear about how this game's soundtrack was made and how it's different from drifter.

This is fascinating. But I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to make it clear again right at the beginning of the documentary what period of time we are talking about here. Something like: "This episode was filmed in the second half of 2022, from month A to the last days of month B, and shows the enormous changes Hyper Light Breaker has already gone through."
