[b]Hey cultists![/b] Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the team here at Hellbyte! This year marks our first Christmas as a full fledged studio and we’re so excited to look back at the year we’ve had! [h2]The Year in Retrospect[/h2] We’ve had an absolute avalanche of demos and playtests in order to find our own unique style and aesthetic for the game. We moved into our comfy (cramped) office space and lined it with art and posters. We’ve worked with artists to conceptualize and bring to life an arsenal of weapons and a legion of enemies like the bloater and chaos demon to go all out against.

The turnout for these events have us ecstatic and we can’t believe the outpour of support from the attendees.

[h2]Looking Forward to 2025[/h2] In 2025, we’re aiming to push ourselves past our limits and topple some milestones. We cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on and how far the development team has come this year. There’s so much to show that hasn’t yet been seen.
