Hey all. Well, the new game, which is called Plastic Spouse Interrogation, about 95% done, the last bit of the game is doing some polish and testing. Mostly visual polish, re-rendering a couple of things in Blender, sprucing up some in-game text and dialogue. I just need a little more time to tie things up in a bow. I appreciate you all being patient about it I really promise it’ll be worth it. I think this is at the very least the best looking thing I’ve made. I did a lot of work in Blender that I’m very happy with. It feels like a cut above the Blender stuff I did with Growing My Grandpa! in a lot of ways. I feel bad for giving you all sort of inaccurate timelines regarding it, I know in my last post I said that I’d have it done in 2-3 days, and well, at the time, it really did feel like it! But as I mentioned on Discord I think my creative productivity just ebbs and flows and when it’s flowing I think I get overconfident and feel like I can get things done faster than I realize, and likewise, when its ebbing I get under-confident. Well, again I appreciate you all being patient, and the game will be sent out very soon.
I wanted to also make a post because I was talking with a supporter on Discord about maybe doing like a monthly forum or q-and-a session for patrons. It could be voice or text-chat or whatever we all feel comfortable doing. We could have a main topic or it could just be sort of a free-for-all. I think it would be really cool to talk more about what I do in development but also about influences, past games, future games, what little advice I can impart about game dev or art or writing etc etc etc. I am going to put up a poll here to try and gauge interest. I would really like to do something like this I think it would be really cool and would be a way to connect with you all beyond just posting stuff here and on Discord.
One last thing, I’ve been thinking about my plans in the upcoming months: After Plastic Spouse Interrogation is done I’ll finish up Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci, then I want to take a big chunk of time to work Discover Our Bodies. I want to get more of it fleshed out so I can have some sort of vertical slice/demo to send off to you and also the general public. After that I will finish Resin Of Earth, and then hop back into DOB.
So, please answer the poll above or sound off down below regarding the forum/q-and-a idea. As always thanks so much for your support, I am really blown away by your continued interest in me and my stuff, and I am infinitely grateful you are giving me a chance to make games for you.
Yours In Games,
Yames
