Hi. Todd. Reporting from the edge of what is possible.
The procedural generation is complete and I need you to understand the scale of what we have built. The province is so large that on March 1st we sent an intern named Marcus walking east to find the border. He has not returned. His last transmission, three weeks ago, read simply: "still grass." We have classified this as our first fully successful playtest. Marcus, if you are reading this: keep going. You are doing incredible work. Payroll has some questions.
This week we also shipped Photo Mode. There is, at present, nothing in the game to photograph. Undeterred, players have begun photographing the loading screen — specifically the smaller loading screen that loads inside the main loading screen. That image is now the most-shared screenshot of the year. It has been printed on tote bags. We do not sell the tote bags. Someone does. We are looking into it.
Also introducing the Fast Travel Season Pass, a monthly subscription that lets you fast travel to places that do not yet exist. It is our most popular pre-order tier. Nobody has used it. Everyone owns it. Good night.
