2 week game challenge (Patreon)

Today we have some exciting news to share.

With the team expansion we mentioned in one of the last Patreon posts, we decided it would be best to get everyone together and do a quick "game jam" type of "2 week game challenge" with the whole team.

We plan to start work on this project starting tomorrow, Friday 1st June 2018.

Also we plan to do daily Live Streams to showcase the progress on this project while we're working on it.

(though sunday and monday is our "weekend" so we take a break during those days, which means no Live Streams)

If possible, we like to write progress reports every 2 days (or more often than that).

And overall give you a more in depth view of what we do with this game in such a short time.

Currently Boxman and Zhuan had been working on side projects.

(which we fund with our own money, what those projects are about will be revealed soon after the 2 week game challenge)

While the rest of the team (Crescentia, BladeFire, Illustrious) were working on Deathblight RPG, as you all know.

For the 2 week game challenge we pause these projects, gather together for a "Mini Game", and once that is done, everyone returns to their respective projects.

I'll get to what the 2 week game challenge will be about a bit further down in this post.

For the time being, let me explain our reasoning so everyone gets to see the full picture:

With so many new teammembers (Boxman, Zhuan, Regris, and Blade taking care of programming for the first time) we lack a lot of "data" on stuff like work speed, quality of the work, and various other factors like teamwork etc.

It is essential for us to have data on these things so we can plan projects more efficiently and assign everyone work they are able to handle.

We can't incorporate all teammembers into Deathblight RPG for various reasons.

So the easiest and fastest way to gather all the data and see how things will work out is via that "2 week game challenge".

Also it will be a valuable experience for all of us.

The project we planned to tackle for this is a small Mini Game which should be possible to complete within 2 weeks (roughly 10 work days), and we're willing to potentially add a 3rd week (5 more days) to wrapping work on the game up, in case 2 weeks was not enough.

(we also have a list of stuff we think about including if we manage to progress faster than expected, but this is entirely optional)

Even though Cres and I (Wolf) carry most of the costs of this Mini Game, we still decided on handing the finished game to all 5$ and upwards Patrons because work on Deathblight RPG is paused for those 2 weeks.

We are not sure if this Mini Game get's sold later on or if we make it public for free, as we figured we should wait and see how this turns out before making such a decision.

But I can assure you that we intend to give this game to all 5$ and upwards Patrons for free.

That being said, what is the game about?

I'll definitelly cover this more in depth in upcoming posts.

The short answer for now is this:

We plan to make a simple action game/brawler/side scroller, with a heroine (a dark elf) going on a bet with her rival.

The bet is about collecting as much money as possible within 15 days, which our heroine decides to do via having sex with others.

So the heroine frequently engages in sexy situations to milk her customers for money.

It's a brawler/side scroller because she has to run around the level, avoid obstacles and beat up some guys who don't want to pay her for her services.

You can follow the posts we post every 2 days, or chat with us during the daily Live Streams to ask us all sorts of questions.

We hope you're looking forward to reading about future posts on this project!

See ya around.
