Congratulations to the finalists! Even if "Timber" did not make it into the Top10, I'm very proud we were able to submit something for this contest. This year has been wild for me personally, and having so limited time to work on a map shows. But fewseb and I are planning to continue working on it!

Wishing all of you a very happy new year and only the best for 2025! Thank you for being here and for following us. Please stay tuned - you will be hearing a lot more from us ;) Happy New Year! ✨ #gamedev #community #happynewyear

Dear everyone,

2024 has been a bit of a ride for us here @ Bongfish.

Admittedly, one with more downs than we were anticipating.

It has been challenging, but we take 2024 as an opportunity to grow and to move forward.

So, this message is one of hope and gratitude.

A gigantic, massive THANK YOU needs to go out to every person we are fortunate to call or to have called a member of the team.

There would be no Bongfish without you and we want you to know that!

We hope to show you some of the awesome stuff we are working on in 2025 - stay tuned ;)

To the industry: 2024 has been grim, but let's hang in there and hope 2025 can be a year of celebrations for all of us.
*fingers crossed*

And to everyone else reading: we wish you nothing but health, safety and above all happiness for 2025.

See you soon,
The entire team at Bongfish <3

'Tis the season where many exciting maps for the contest start getting art updates and really coming together. Every few days some new workshop updates, screenshots or videos excite me for all of the maps. Can't wait to explore! Keep 'em coming!

Thought I should share some progress on Timber. Still a long way to go, but I'm slowly getting a feel for it.
