The developer of the title, Gamera Interactive, has been up and running since September 2016. The studio was founded by industry veterans who had been working with big publishers (Midway, Eidos, Bethesda, among others) and development studios (Milestone). During the early period of the project's development, they joined us to talk about the pipeline for prototyping and working with environments and assets for the game.

The game was released in Early Access two years ago, and its 1.0 version was released last month. The developer has teased that a detailed roadmap for new content, such as features, improvements, and more supported languages, will be released soon.
