Hey folks!

Today I'm very excited to share with you that Yahtzee and I have set a release window for his next game, Starstruck Vagabond, as Spring 2024. We've been working quietly on the game for the last year, and it is now content complete and entering the final polish stage, including figuring out QA testing and localization.

This trailer isn't exactly new though, and this may be the first time you're seeing it as we were not allowed to talk about it or promote it on Escapist due to conflict-of-interest concerns from the parent company.

Now that we're independent, you can expect Yahtzee and I to be on some streams soon to show you the game in action and also provide insight into its development.

INDIE LABEL

With the Patreon campaign exploding, our plans for Kickstarter being accelerated (to cover our salaries up front for the first year), and things overall just being way ahead of anything we could have predicted, we're now looking at - what's the next step of this dream?

Both Yahtzee and I had previously talked about possibly launching an Indie Label alongside Starstruck Vagabond, and now that we're independent, raising money, and have a ton of attention on us... we think now is our once in a life opportunity to do so.

Second Wind has big ambitions beyond just being a sustainable media group, we also want to have an indie game publishing arm where we help upcoming games from independent developers.

Curated by our team of critics like Yahtzee, Frost, JM8, Marty and myself, we want to help get games across this finish line and provide marketing support from our team and platform we're building, while also being extremely fair and flexible with costs to the developer.

We truly do just want to help cool games reach a wider audience and get them across the finish line. We're creatives first, and this is a mission we believe in making happen, and we hope you're on-board with it too.
