## Game Updates

### [Harvest Hero Origins @ PAX West 2021](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1651500/Harvest_Hero_Origins/)

Hey there rustaceans, [Gemdrop Games] recently took
Harvest Hero Origins to PAX West 2021.
We had a very positive response from most of the players!

Being able to watch people play the game was extremely valuable, we were
able to see pain points in UI/UX design and can now fix them without worry.
We were also able to see what players find fun about controlling each hero,
which helps us plan the next hero in the full release of the game.

Harvest Hero Origins is still planned to release by the end of 2021,
please wishlist on [steam] and I hope you're looking forward to it!
