Bytten in Brighton
August 13, 2019 in Announcements by Tom
Hi folks!
So much has happened since our last blog post, so here goes. First of all, Jay and I left our jobs at Chucklefish, to work full time at our own company, Bytten Studio! Since then, we’ve moved to Brighton and we’ve been working hard (from the beach) to finish up Lenna’s Inception as soon as possible.
It’s overwhelming for me to think that this project has gone from a side project in my spare time to something I’d dedicate my career to, and I couldn’t have done it without the continuing interest from the fans and the game dev community alike. I hope you’re as eager to play it as we are to finish it!
With that said, in October beta owners will find that the 0.13 update has landed. You can look forward to:
- All of the planned 11 bosses in the game
- Significant story changes
- A new, more realistic, CRT shader
- The GBA-era graphics Jay has been working on
Since we now have all the beta testers we think we will need, we’ve decided to close the beta. If you read this and were hoping to get a copy, you can join the Lenna’s Inception Discord server to keep up to date with the latest info, or you can also follow Jay and myself on twitter.
Press, streamers and youtubers can email press@bytten-studio.com to be put on a list for preview access.
We have more to reveal over the next few months, but right now there’s a monstrous seagull sizing up my laptop. So, until next time!
Very cool. I’m excited for the update! I’ve beaten the game a few times on different patches and I feel like its been awhile since the last patch. 1.5-2 years right? I’d be interested to hear why you left chucklefish. I kind of figured the reason the game was taking awhile (and cost so little) was that it was a side project that you worked on whenever you had time while still keeping a full time job. How long has Lenna’s been the full time project? Anyway, good luck.
Looking forward for that update in October 🙂 I noticed that you removed the ability to buy the game from itch.io (I have a copy anyway) but is there a problem? Also, I tried to run the old copy and it doesn’t run anymore and just open tons of website saying page doesn’t exists. Good Luck, the game looks amazing 🙂
