Hello friends!  (We need a formal name for you all.  Vanians?  Vanities?  Vaniacs?  Let’s workshop that.)  Please forgive the long stretch between devlogs; that’s on me (Erika, the Keeper) for having a lack of brainpower over the past few months.  

Rest assured that work has been continuing on Van-14 behind the scenes, however!  Even with his full-time job at Iron Gate developing Valheim and taking on some freelance work for another awesome project, local game dev addict Robin has been chipping away at level design, bug fixes, and entirely new mechanics for Van-14.  In fact, you can see some of that in action on his personal YouTube channel, where he’s been casually livestreaming some of the development:

Just remember that relationships of any kind should be balanced: if they help you, you should help them.  But what could E.Y.R.I.E. need help with…?

Remember to check out our Discord for high-res versions of these images, and also to chat with us!  You can also visit our Linktree to make sure you’ve found us everywhere we’re findable!

See you next devlog,
