That said, I’d be lying if I said the lockdown situation hasn’t impacted the team or our production. As a result, this transition hasn’t been as disruptive for us as it has been for a lot of businesses. During pre-COVID times, everyone at Hinterland had the option to work from home a couple of days per week, so everyone was already well equipped with home offices and our internal communications and development tools were already set up to support working from home. We’re pretty fortunate that our work can be done largely virtually, although we do miss sharing time together in our physical workspace. We won’t go back to work in the studio until we know we can ensure our staff will be safe. Even when it becomes safe to start slowly re-integrating into our “old lives” (as much as that will even be possible), our priority will continue to be ensuring our team is safe and protected. I don’t expect us to go back to working in the studio until the Fall or later. We’ve all been doing this for about eight weeks now so that “few months” is probably going to end up being a few months more than that. We had everyone work from home for half of February, and then by the first week of March we decided to just shut it down for at least a few months (back then everyone was still thinking week-to-week and this was tricky for planning so we figured it would be less disruptive just to assume we’d all work from home for at least a few months). British Columbia was one of the earliest Canadian provinces to have verified cases of COVID-19, back in January, so we were pretty aggressive in shutting down the physical studio. Like many of you, our entire team is currently in Lockdown. It’s time to update you on some of the goings-on at Hinterland these days. I hope you’re all doing well in these strange times we find ourselves in.
