Really can’t wait to we get air under the Skyward Masters wings, so we can show how we’re planning to make a fruitful ecosystem for orgs as well as players.
To clarify Riot changed the way Valorant works so that any team can make/win an international tournament But they chose 4 teams in NA to become partners They give those teams millions of $$ AND a skin in the game (they get a percentage of sales) If an unpartnered org builds a moneyball team that absolutely crushes at an international event- those players will be poached by a partnered org It happened to us with Brawk and Mada going to NRG it is happening to C9 who just lost partnership and already letting their players shop around I just don't know if it is worth competing in the esport long term as compared to investing into an esport with a truly open system

“Arguably the best entry-fragger to ever grace Counter-Strike.” – @Quickshot on @dupreeh on his epic Origins podcast👀 In Skycast #3, he talks esports, game development, and helping shape our 4v4v4v4 Arena FPS. Arena FPS speed meets Bedwars strategy.

August was busy 👀 🌉 New holo-bridges. ⚡ The Storm Rifle. 🛡️ Character art moving toward game-ready. 🔫 New weapon animations. A little monthly peek into the messy, satisfying, work-in-progress process of building Skyward Masters. #indiegamedev

Super excited to share that I'm back in business after taking a bit of a break, and even more so since I'm teaming up with Skyward Masters taking on the task of building out the ecosystem behind this magnificent game.

And to top it off... they've successfully closed another funding round. In this "gaming economy", that's also an achievement in itself. But there is room for more and this is where I'll try to build what could become the next big FPS title out there.

I'll focus on the strategy for the next year and a half and prepare everything so we're ready to launch the game to the masses end of 2027. In doing so, I'd be happy to connect with old connections within the gaming and esports space, as we have some incredible things planned.
