why do you usually take breaks from things?

Do you mean what did they choose to spend their freetime doing while not spending most of their mental effort in developing a game, or why would they choose to take a break? I think the latter is pretty easy to answer but the former's a bit more interesting lol

I mean yeah after Celeste we:

  • did tons of work fixing, maintaining, porting, etc, on it
  • we developed & released Chapter 9
  • we started a new studio, got an office, half our team relocated from Brazil to Canada
  • we prototyped multiple games, started working on Earthblade
  • and we took some vacations. also covid happened and slowed a lot of stuff down.

It definitely would have been nice to start Earthblade sooner and get further along earlier, but we worked on some prototypes for over a year before settling on it.
