The small studio rented by RainX Indie Game Studio buzzed with quiet energy as the ten members of the team gathered around their conference table. It wasn't much—a cramped room in an aging building, with wires strewn about and art sketches taped to the walls—but it was their space. For the past year, they had called this place home, pouring their hearts and souls into Wanderer, their passion project, a game that was slowly coming to life.
The team's creative director, and unofficial leader, Akio Matsuda, sat at the head of the table, flipping through a small notepad filled with notes from PrimCon. Akio had always been the dreamer of the group, the one who refused to compromise their vision despite the challenges. His calm but commanding presence kept the team grounded and focused. He looked up from his notes, his glasses reflecting the soft glow of the overhead light.
