It’s Time to Give Thanks!

23 November, 2023 

Happy Thursday, everyone! Community Manager Squid coming at you again with another weekly update, but as you might guess, this is a short one. Given that most of the team is native to the US, a lot of folks here at 3rd Shift Studios were busying themselves this week in prep for Thanksgiving. It’s been a busy time! 

We’re Thankful (for you) 

First and foremost, the team wanted to place some special emphasis on how thankful we are to you – the community. Without your continued support, engagement, and feedback on our various peeks into the world of afflicted, none of this would be possible. We’re here, making this game, for you all! We’re so thankful that you’ve stuck by us this far, and we’re just as excited to get you into the game alongside us. You’re all just so grate 🧀 

What HAVE We Been Up To? 

Just because it was a busy week outside of afflicted doesn’t mean that nothing got done. I assure you, nothing takes our drifting thoughts quite like working on this for you all. Bruce has been hard at work polishing up his work with the 3rd Shift logo (gotta make that game intro screen nice, ya know?). I was researching some additional components for use in the Swamp map. On and on it goes for the rest of the team. Little stuff this week, pushing the development of afflicted continuously forward.  

In Closing 

Short and sweet, as promised! It’s Thanksgiving for us around these parts, and we are truly thankful for all of you. Now go forth, to victory!

Stay Hydrated Folks,
