Greetings to all!

I want to share the latest news about Valeria - The Pagan Priestess:

1) Independence:
As you know, we used to have a publisher, but we have decided to chart a more promising future for Valeria. As a team, we have determined to move forward independently. At the same time, we aim to publish our game on Steam during its development phase so that the world finally knows about our work.

2) Challenges in finding a publisher:

We have explored partnerships with other publishers, but the market rules they require compliance would require a significant redesign of the game, something we are not willing to do. We have put a lot of effort into creating our identity as a game and we want to stay true to the project. This has led us to the conclusion that for the moment only you will be the financial contribution to be able to continue, only our beloved public, our fans. We created our game for you and we are fighting hard to launch it. The team is committed to making Valeria more recognized and we are deciding the date.

3) Game launch:

After intense discussions, we have decided to release the game once Sector 2, corresponding to the Witch King, has been completed. We are still working on the enemy design and we are missing some details to complete the palace tiles. We are very close until you, those who help us, can have Early Access.

4) Kickstarter:

We have been considering starting a Kickstarter campaign. We have a lot of exciting ideas that we want to implement: discussing new characters with captivating stories, more interesting weapons, challenging mechanics and secret additional levels. Stay tuned on this topic because there will be surprises.

5) My vacation:

I'm going to take a week off. A little break, but I'll be back and ready to work starting January 1st. However, I have already spoken with the team about the pending tasks and their distribution, everything is still on schedule, and work is being done.

I take this opportunity here to wish you a happy holiday season, a Christmas full of joy and a prosperous New Year! We greatly appreciate each of you for being a fundamental part of our growth, this is also your game, because you inspire us to be better.

Sincerely,

Gauchobot Games Studios
