Brighter Shores lead developer Andrew Gower is teasing us. Not with the game’s mechanics itself – that happened last week – but with the fact that he made a piece of candy rope and then told everyone that it’s not edible. The absolute villain.
All right, so technically Gower didn’t share fake candy so much as a timeline of the MMO’s development track from September 2010 all the way to June 2024, marking some of the major milestones of certain years of progress along the way, as well as word that the MMO is currently in small-scale private testing. And sure, the graphic was probably meant to look like a game board path, but it sure does look like tasty gummy candy to us.
“Please do not eat the timeline,” he writes. “It is not edible.” Fine, Gower. We won’t. But we’re definitely going to be majorly upset by the command.
People often ask me when I started creating Brighter Shores. The answer is rather complex so I made a picture. P.S. Only 12 people have Steam keys to the alpha, most of them staff, so don't be upset that you don't have one :) pic.twitter.com/oNBank94RG
