Hello everyone! At PAX South recently we had a chance to sit down with TJ Denzer of Shack News and talk shop regarding our plans for Shot One. Following him getting his hands on the game for a few matches we received an awesome write up regarding our upcoming title. At PAX we had a chance to preview some new content we'd been working on. 

We've been hard at work on production of our latest roster addition, Queen Kyu! We're happy to announce that she is finally up and running and will be playable for PAX West. We've created a small animated teaser internally to showcase this rambunctious feline Queen in the world of Shot One.

Shot One recently got featured in an article regarding how Red Moon Workshop came to be and our inspiration behind our title. We go in depth into how an unlikely source of inspiration became the driving force to make this title.

We set our eyes on PAX South months ago as a milestone to show off our first playable to the public, after having spent a rather long time dealing with the ups and downs of assembling a team and getting all the behind the scenes details sorted. It was a rather oddly timed deadline as PAX South is historically in early January, which lead to quite a few of us working over the holidays to get everything done. Was it stressful? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. So how did things go?

A typical issue with making isometric games more eyecatching is figuring out ways to break up the monotony of a top down title. For Shot One we designed a lot of colorful, over the top characters so we wanted to figure out a way to showcase them. That's where the idea of the 3d outro system was born! Inspired by fighting game titles with their crazy over the top outros like Street Fighter, Tekken and even hints of Overwatch, we set out to try and create our own system to give the match finishes a colorful, satisfying end.

This week we're celebrating our first milestone for our game, which is reaching 1,000 followers for the Shot One project. We'd originally set our hopeful projections for 400 followers by the end of March, but one of our posts went viral and it brought in a wave of new eyes who all seem excited about what we're up to.
