One of the most important thing when getting a deal close to being signed : anticipate when and where to celebrate & rejoice all together.
Not joking : the quality of trust & relation between Dev & Pub will show in the end on the game somehow, and then to players :)

It has large, wing-like side plates that are a mix of gunmetal gray and a tarnished, brassy gold. The center section is a dark, sleek gray with detailed lines and panels. To the right of the console is a matching PS5 controller with a similar gunmetal and brassy finish. The right grip of the controller has the words "Void Crew" on it.
