Research and Setting: I quickly realized the scarcity of information about ancient American societies. But my extensive research helped shape the game's authenticity, focusing on primitive survival in the Stone Age.
Building a Community: Initial TikTok videos of the project attracted thousands, forming a passionate community. This overwhelming response motivated me to pursue the project full-time--despite financial challenges.
Forming the Team: With the community's support and a successful fundraising campaign, a team was assembled, transforming the project into an indie game studio. The collaboration enhanced the game’s development and introduced multiplayer features.
Community and Development: The team's transition to Patreon and the introduction of the 'campfire hangout' allowed for real-time community feedback and involvement. Despite initial bugs and challenges, community engagement was crucial in refining the game.
Conclusion: The journey of Neolithic Dawn is a story of passion, dedication, and community. It's a vivid example of how a small side project can grow into a potential VR masterpiece with the right support and vision.
