New art to replace the old ones in Syrenthia!

Hello and welcome to DevBlog #77! This time, we're doing a short update on how the hiring process has been going. And we got some isometric art pieces made by maxchill to show here which replace some of the AI generated ones in Syrenthia!

In the last development blog, we stated that for the rest of the month, me and myzozoz will be busy with the hiring process that's been going on since December. For this devblog, we have an update on that.

On the game content front, maxchill and Weasel have been doing some great progress. It's still a bit too early to showcase what they're working on, but you can expect an update on that in one of the next devblogs.

Hiring process

Another new isometric art to replace some of the old ones in Syrenthia

So far we've had 316 applications for the game developer position we opened in December. During this week, we've conducted interviews with a bunch of people, and I'm quite certain that we will have this hiring process completed in the next two weeks. Due to the large volume of applications, it's no wonder why this has taken a lot of time to go through all of them and then doing interviews.

Naturally after the contract is signed, there will be time spent on onboarding, legal stuff and things like that. These shouldn't take that much of our time though, so we're quite positive that we'll be able to move back to regular development speed before the end of the month.

If everything goes as planned, our newly hired developer will be introducing themself in one of the next devblogs, and you'll also get to know who has joined Not a Cult! Even though this process has been quite a time consuming one, we can't wait to have another pair of hands helping us out to develop the game even faster.

Until next time

And another one!

That's all for this devblog! While this was a short update on the hiring process, I'm hoping that in the next devblog we'll be able to share more exciting news about the game itself.

Stay hydrated and keep walking everyone! ❤️
