Welcome to the development blog for Project Espada! I believe I can now call it the Espada game.  

We are extremely happy to have reached this milestone. It took a lot of rejection, challenges, and struggles to bring this project to life, but now we can say that the journey will continue. We officially started production on December 20, 2024. We are deeply grateful to God, Jesus, our families, and friends who have supported us, as well as the PNAB cultural program, the City Hall, and the Department of Culture of São José do Rio Preto for providing the resources that made our dream possible.  

The Espada game is about hope in difficult times, delivering an engaging narrative that emphasizes the importance of never giving up and taking action to move forward, endure hardships, and strive for victory. Blending tactical RPG elements with roguelike mechanics, the game follows the story of Espada, a character who must find her way out of a land called Buraco — a place of stagnation where many get lost, and few find themselves.  

She is not alone. Throughout the adventure, Espada will meet people with different dreams, yet all fighting together to overcome obstacles. One of the game's most interesting aspects is how it is inspired by real people and situations. We know that life is not easy and is full of challenges, but it is possible to believe, to help and be helped, and to conquer even the toughest levels.   

We invite you to join us on this journey by following our development blog. There is still so much we want to share about the game, its production, ideas, inspirations, tips, and our experiences.  

See you soon, and remember: Have hope and fight for your dreams!
