Haste is Going to Steam Next Fest 2022

Hello Everyone

Just wanted to post a quick update letting you know we will be part of the June 2022 edition of the Steam Next Fest. We have been playing with the idea of taking a part, but this seems to be the best time for us with the upcoming release date of Fall 2022.

We are really excited to be taking a part of the Steam Next Fest and will be pushing this on our socials as we head into the event. Having come off of the XP Game Dev Summit, we are glad to be getting out there and meeting with other business partners and of course you fine folks taking an interest in Haste.

We hope that anyone reading this can take a part of the Steam Next Fest this season and please follow along our socials to get updates!

Cheers,

~ Cedrick

Moving Forward with Haste!

Over a year later and I post once more! So, how has your year been going :S

Where have I been? well, I think that the title and logo give it away. Jacob and myself have been busy working on Haste. Did you know that we have a new and improved website and trailer?

I figured I’d dust off this blog and post about it today. We are both very proud of how far we’ve come, and it has been a long… long journey to get here. If you are looking to support us and our fledgling indie studio Hot Sauce Bread, please share and like and all that stuff. This helps us immensely and we would really appreciate it.

What, you didn’t click the trailer link above? well here, let me help you out.

Cheers!

Hello!

This is just a quick little update on the game I’ve been working on. Last post I announced that I’ve been designing a game called Sigils of Kairos. Since then, we’ve changed the name of the game to Haste. I go over these changes in a three part post on the Hot Sauce Bread Studios devblog.

On top of this, Hot Sauce Bread Studios is officially incorporated! This has been in the works for quite a while, but it still feels strange. If you haven’t already, please check out the main site. If you like what you see, spreead the word! We haven’t really done the big marketing push yet, so any fresh eyes on the project would be much appreciated.

Sigils of Kairos

Hello Everyone,

For anyone who is reading this, it seems pretty fitting that my last post was announcing the birth of my daughter.  As you can all see, I am living the parental life to its fullest and have taken a step back from blogging.  Despite this, I have not been sitting too idle, in fact there is something really exciting that I want to share with you today!

I want to put a spotlight on a project that has been in the making for a few years now.  I want to introduce the indie game Sigils of Kairos.

Sigils of Kairos is a strategic card game that is played in real time.  This takes key decision making and combines it with an action based pacing.  Sigils strikes the perfect balance between depth of choice and simple gameplay.  Sigils does this by stripping away complicated mechanics and crowded card collections, opting instead on class based characters with set move lists.

SoK is mainly a product from my close friend Jacob with a bit of help from myself.  Together we have been developing this game for several years now.  We have set up the new company ‘Hot Sauce Bread Studios’ and would love if you dropped by the site.  We think that the game is ready to be showcased and are working hard to get a kickstarter set up.

If you are reading this, you can help with this project by spreading the word!  Please follow us on all your social medias and give us some <3s.  I will try to keep a semi-regular blog going on our site, and will keep you all updated on the progress of the project.  If you want to go a step further, send us a message and we’ll put you on a non-spammy email list with only the biggest updates to the project being sent out.

I hope you are all as excited as I am about this one.

Matthew Forsythe's Oijingogo & Jinchalo

I was in Montreal when I came across these books. Whenever I make a trip out to Montreal, I try to make a stop at the Drawn and Quarterly brick and mortar. When I came across Oijingogo, I fell in love with the weird and adorable wordless comic immediately. This naturally led me to buy the second book Jinchalo the very next trip out.  These books are beautifully drawn by Matthew Forsythe and take you on a whimsical muted journey. Because they're wordless, I can blow through the books pretty fast but that also means they are books that get pulled from my shelf often.
