The So-Called Halloween Build

It’s overdue. It’s probably buggy, but it’s here. Thank you so much for waiting. You can find the builds right here at the top.

So much went into this. In a month I rewrote a large portion of the code, remade half the character sprites in the game, added several cutscenes, rewrote all the dialog in the game (Turn is translatable now!), finished a boss, expanded on the levels slightly, and even had to cut some stuff that didn’t make it in time.

I know this has taken awhile, but today was my final cutoff day. There are a few things that didn’t make it:

• The main menu is gone. That’s okay. It’s about an hour long on the high end
• That also means saving is pointless right now
• The chest after the witch fight doesn’t work
• Collecting all Zane’s eggs no longer rewards you with an alternate path
• The custom death sequences per enemy indeed got axed

There will also undoubtedly be bugs. It’s my hope that if you’re not trying to find them a playthrough should go smoothly, but I’ll be keeping an eye on feedback.

Regrettably, This May Be Our Final Broadcast

This is likely the last Turn build (barring bug fixes). I’ve thought a lot about this. I started developing this game 2 years ago. In that time I’ve only been able to devote 3-4 months of actual work to it. I love Turn, but the way I’m going about making it isn’t jiving with my content creation process. It’s also unpredictable when it might take time away from comics.

I love making games. And years later, I’m good at it. The next time I attempt this and ask for your generous support it will:

1. Involve a team and/or full time work so that there’s a lot more at the end of a half year than Turn is today
2. Directly incorporate art and comics and will lose the low resolution limitations of Turn
3. Involve a planning phase and gameplay prototypes to make sure there’s fun there

Turn is a wild collection of minigames. And that’s super cool. But it does lack a consistent and fun gameplay loop. It’s easy to dismiss that by saying it’s lewd, or it’s an RPG, but I want to do better next time.

Streams Start Again Soon

Thank you EVERYONE for your patience and your support. I hope you had a FANTASTIC Halloween and will have a WONDERFUL November.
