what the HELL why is there a NEWSLETTER now

you might be wondering the exact question in the header of this container thingy, and heres your answer:

𝒾 𝒹𝑜𝓃𝓉 𝓀𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝒾 𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒾𝓉 𝓌𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝒷𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝑜𝓁

This should serve as a nice little way to get out information about the game that we cant simply share via discord or youtube, stuff like:

How much more game do you have to make

Originally, on the Team Lost Media website, you might have noticed this little paragraph,

While MOST of the stuff in this is still true, we miiiiiiiiiight have jumped the gun on announcing the world count.
To get to the point - Wega And The Lost Media will have 6 worlds, not 8.

but why are you giving me LESS content how COULD you

It's hard to be more specific about WHY we cut down on the world count without Spoilering The Entire Game, but heres the basics of it:
When coming up for the world count back in 2024, we had clear-cut ideas for (almost) each world.
World 1 would be a grasslands-mountain, World 2 would be a desert, World 3 would be a You Cant Hear That Yet Thats Spoilers, and so on.
However, we never actually came up with a good idea for World 4, and ended up putting all our good ideas into worlds 5 and beyond...

So we shot World 4 dead and moved World 5 to where World 4 would have been.

this still doesnt explain why theres 6 worlds and not 7

Now this is where the spoilers part comes in...
To atempt to explain, our ideas for (post world 4 removal) Worlds 6 and 7 were very similar.
So, we decided to merge them into one final world, making the total world count 6.

So what have you been working on then?

Currently, we're working on the next two updates to WATLM. One of these is the World 2 Update, which will contain World 2 and its boss.
The other update is a patch to Demo 1, which we're calling the Demo 1.5 Update!

The most notable features of Demo 1.5 are Save Files, Multiplayer, Playable Urio, and Bonus Levels!

Whats a urio?

Wait, Multiplayer?

Thats right! We made it so you can play with all the friends you totally have!

The entire story mode is playable in multiplayer mode. You can finally make the game accurate to the cutscenes!
It's local only, though... We reccomend Parsec for online multiplayer.

What are "Bonus Levels"?

Bonus levels are levels not connected to any world. They're optional bonuses that you can play at any time!
We currently have one bonus level in development for Demo 1.5 (but could probably do another, we have a few ideas).

...So you could have used these bonus levels for pre-cut world 4.

We're moving on.

When is Demo 1.5 coming out?

Demo 1.5 has been making steady progress since we released Demo 1, and we're almost done with it.
So as an estimated release date thats very very much not confirmed, we can say that the estimated release month is...

Demo 1.5 may release in Mid-Late October.

Keep in mind, this can change at any time! We will announce a hard date when the update is fully complete.

One last thing.

Thank you all for the support!

Since we started on Wega And The Lost Media in 2024, we never expected to have so many people excited for the game!
We're excited to show you whats next for the game, and we hope to see you all the way until the end!

See you next time!
