Aaron used to work at Ravensoft, back when they made things that were not just Call of Duty, lol, and he's put together a small (10 or so?) but mighty little team! They hired another studio (DCell I think) to do full animation for the trailer. Definitely one of the better indie trailers I think I've seen.
So what I'm seeing is that the survivor will be like a roguelite Starfox? And the full game something like Star Wars Rogue Squadron? I don't hate it. I liked all that a lot.
I also know of a streamer who might be into playing the demo and streaming it. I can't promise anything, but I can throw the name forward if Aaron is interested in that. He's a very good egg.

Standby, I'll find out! A lot of things have been mentioned, so I don't want to get it wrong
Yep! This one is a roguelite Starfox basically, something between Starfox meets Vampire Survivors. I've never played Star Wars Rogue Squadron, but the next Whisker Squadron title will be more of an open world experience. They want to have more of a focus on exploration of the galaxy, moons, and the creatures within the universe, etc.
Yeah! I'm sure he'd love to have more streamers playing the game. Let me know if there's anything they need to stream!

It looks like PC/Mac/Linux for now. If the game does well enough, they're likely to look into porting to consoles in the future though!
Also excited to hear your streamer friend is excited!

Back to say: It's here!
They've been toiling away at this for a couple years now, taking it from a colorful playground to a really mature futuristic aesthetic, and from open world elements to splitting it into multiple titles, this one focused on a roguelite on-rails shooter experience.
Indie games are hard, especially with a team this small. I'm impressed by how hard they've worked and what they've been able to put together. If you play, I hope you like it! It's on sale on steam currently. Link:

I read them...when I stumble across themAw, wish I would've kept better tabs on this! Totally would've BG3'd it in the weekly console thread. ...Few read them anyway, I'll go do that in a moment and no one will be the wiser!
Congratulations on the successful launch!

This is amazingly thoughtful, thank you so much, it's super appreciated!And update: We're pretty excited, I just looked and it so far still seems to have only positive reviews on Steam.
It's also been picked up by an interesting and unintentional crowd, furries
Some of the feedback is hysterical (and a lot of the fan art is very NSFW).

Fun fact: My partner and Team Flippfly just released a big new update to Whisker Squadron: Survivor. If you haven't gotten in on that sweet cats+spaceships action, now is the time!
It's a roguelike shooter from the makers of Race The Sun if you played that way back when. The update is going for more depth in the experience, with a new branching map where each node is a combat encounter or some other interesting choice, a more fleshed out narrative, and a lot more variety on enemies.
Pew pew shameless plug!
