official newsletter #13
Hi it's me BURRITO GALAXY. How are you?
Here's a quick update newsletter for everyone. Thank you for being patient. We've been sososososo busy working on the game every day and every minute. Even when we're all taking a bubble bath together in the Swacksoft Softworks Workshop bathtub, we're still working on the game.
Here's some music from the game. This is the theme of Orangino and Toing's mom. (Orangino and Toing work at the SCALLOPS HOTEL, the main home location of the game.) There are a lot of moms in this game! I really hope you like moms.

We also did a Q&A on twitter since a lot of people have been asking questions about the game.
Q&A
Q- is burrito galaxy a good game - aimkid
A- what
Q- Will this game be available on Steam? - jackasterisk
A- Yes! We actually made it past greenlight when that was a thing.
Q- Any plans to support VR? - jackasterisk
A- Not really currently. While the game might be able to work in VR, right now its not our goal.
"Great. I don’t like VR." - Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy)
Q- What's the minimum required specs? - jackasterisk
A- Right now it runs pretty well on most recent computers (even my 5 year old thinkpad), but we can't give an exact answer yet. We want it to feel nice to play on as many systems as possible, so we'll try our best to make it well optimized.
Q- is there gonna be controller support? i prefer m+k but i know people whod probably like a game like this with a controller - lapdog
A- Yes! The game should support and have fully customizable controls for pretty much any controller your computer recognizes, you can use a gamecube controller if you want.
Q- how many burritos are in the game - cheddar_king
A- There are zero actual burritos in the game right now, 100% honest.
Q- Is there any plans for any multiplayer features? - shavedbees
A- I wish, but multiplayer games are super expensive to develop and support!! We wanna make a game with multiplayer features one day.
Q- Will Burrito galaxy 64 be available in the game from the start? or do i have to unlock it? - shavedbees
A- (Burrito Galaxy 64 is the old proof of concept game that we finished but never released that became today's BURRITO GALAXY) We wanted to do this in the earlier days of development, but at this point it would be a huge pain because the project files are so old. It'd also be confusing releasing two games with pretty much the same name. We might release it one day or not at all.
Q- Is there anyone we definitely shouldn't slap? - makoConstruct
A- Mom
Q- how long the game gon be you think - it's possible that this is chris
A- We want the game to have maybe 6 to 8 hours of content, with a lot of optional side stuff.
Q- Will we get some very cool Burrito Galaxy merch to buy? - Caleb
A- Something we're actually meeting with people about now. But, I think the game should come out first!
Q- will the game be ported to nintendo switch after release? - Guy
A- Also something we have been meeting with people about : ~ )
Q- skateboards??? - dumpster_1
A- Actually, in the game you have "Heely" like shoes. Holding a button lets you roll around on them to get around super quickly. (Our current working name for these is "Park Soles")
Q- is there gonna be any sort of build up to release or is it going to just drop suddenly? - lapdog
A- Definitely a build up, we've been working on lots of teasers and trailers and stuff for this.
Q- did you guys remove the figdet spinner from the game yet - crab
A- Still in the process of removing it. it's been very difficult. We may need to hire an additional team to remove the fidget spinner from the game. Thank you for your continued patience.
Q- can you buy me a soda - Breadotop
A- Sent ;)
