I can’t believe it has been an entire year. It was around this time exactly one year ago, that I was staying in a palace in Scotland, and I couldn’t sleep. I started scribbling down ideas for a game that was about crafting scotch whisky. Before I knew it, the clock next to me read 6:00am and it dawned on me that this was more than just a simple bout with insomnia, and instead a potentially gigantic project in front of me.
Now, one year later, I thought I’d just quickly post a few “Then & Now” shots for you, to see how far it has come! It still has a long way to go, but I’m so thrilled with what has been accomplished over this past year, and can’t wait to see where I am a year from now with the game (hopefully survived through a successful Kickstarter launch!)
