Goose Byte

Goose Byte We are a newly formed independent studio working on a narrative survival crafting game: THE SIGNAL.

Goose Byte was founded in the Mile-End neighbourhood of Montreal, Canada in 2021 and became fully independent in 2023. Our studio is committed to crafting high quality games capable of captivating large audiences. We’re on a mission to deliver distinctive, approachable games that can be enjoyed solo, and that play even better with friends. We’re passionate about offering players unique experiences

, so experimentation and fast iteration are important to us. High integrity is key and we nurture an environment built around the concepts of freedom, inclusivity, respect, sustainability, and trust.

Hello! Small developer update as today we admitted 1,000 new players who have requested playtest access -- these people should have received an email from Steam that the playtest is open.

If you tried the playtest before at any point, you should also have access to the playtest, you just won't receive an email. Steam is weird that way. The playtest will also be available to Discord community members who have access and/or who claim a key.

JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/UzRMYj5zHx

If you play, please complete our ultra-important feedback form! Whether you played for 5 hours or rage quit after 10 minutes -- we absolutely want to hear about your experience. It is extremely valuable feedback and truly will help us decide what to work on next.

This is an early Pre-Alpha build, and you may experience bugs, crashes, or performance issues. It's a work in progress but we feel like there's a good experience in there.

Please note that this build has a Save System, so you don't need to complete the playthrough in one sitting. Since we will most likely be changing many more things between now and the next playtest/demo, your save will NOT carry over beyond this playtest.

If you don't get access or can't find the time to play, we absolutely promise there will be another playtest in early 2025.

Thanks for playing, and for being here! We know the build is far from finished and we appreciate having you along on this ride!!

Big news! We've pre-launched our Kickstarter!
You can follow our project to be notified when the campaign launches!

Why are we doing a Kickstarter? We're excited to deliver on our vision for The Signal, but the reality of making games in this economy has challenges. A lot of challenges. Due to things being weird, we think self-funding is the right path to get this game in your hands!

We've already come a long way in the process, and are nearing the final stretches of feature development. With your help, we'll be able to do more to ensure The Signal reaches its full potential. Your support will help us add more accessibility options, more languages, more voice acting, more music, and more art. The extra support will allow us to conduct more playtests and iterate more, so that we can launch a game that has been crafted together with your input.

So tell your friends and family members, cats and dogs to follow the project on Kickstarter to be notified when we launch. And of course, while we get things ready, wishlist and follow and sign up for the next playtest. We're grateful that you are here and reading this -- have a great day, Explorer!

A sci-fi survival crafting game where you uncover the secrets of an alien planet that is watching - and reacting - to your every move.
