Much has changed in the last month for us over here. We gave you guys SU earlier this month which brought in upwards of 50 new patrons. We had plans to manage development in a way where we could focus on the development of POK. Well as you move forward you find bottlenecks and roadblocks and we really want to streamline our delivery of our games. POK is in a super pre-alpha state and is several months away from any significant content. On the other hand we have a game in SU that is nearing post-production. We also have Bend or Break just begging to get finished or expanded slightly as it would take little to no work to make an amazing addition to it (it has been d/l like 100k+ times!, and still is our most popular Tumblr page 40% of all are Tumblr traffic). So where does all this all lead? It all leads to our website in the future, and we want to continue development on projects that we can host on our own!

Dammit SmokeShank what are you trying to say!!!


Ok here is goes, we will be giving you guys a release every month as usual. Some releases will be emailed; others will be hosted on Patreon. We are going to gauge the development, and progress week by week to see what game will provide you with the most content. We want to provide you with content rich releases and we want to get away from really alpha releases. This means games like POK can get more weeks under it before you see it again, or SU can be worked on and continued and given the attention it deserves also. Releases will no longer always happen on the last day of the month, they will happen when that project is ready (during the slated month). There will always be a project every month. Lastly the biggest thing we are missing is the community we had before Jan.6 and we want that back! So there will be a weekly update regarding what is going on and what we are working on, discussions on the games (DMCA can’t stop us from talking about it). Higher level tiers will be slowly molded by you guys, I will be trying a bunch of things and gauging your interest (polls, insider info,..etc). Some of the games we are developing are slated for public release but you guys will get exclusive early access.


Status of games in progress:


SU: we feel confident the meta-bordello can be implemented in two-weeks (next month’s release)


POK: we are going to work on character development and we will keep all you posted on progress.


Bend or Break: we are exploring exporting it to webgl and testing it on newgrounds, we would finish the artwork and potentially add some story.(we want to host webgl on our site in the future)


tlL:dr : We are going to give you the game that has made or is making the most progress so that you get content rich releases, this give us time to have other projects up to speed before you guys play them. Keep your email address up to date and your patreon in good standing as I will be emailing some projects out.

SU? Not sure what that is, I've missed the last few posts.

Kingly

Can you Update me too on SU?:)

Possibly More Bend or Break eventually??? I legit was thinking about how much I wanted this the other day! Sounds awesome! Keep up the great work guys and I can't wait to find out who will be in charge of the meta bordello

Smiling_Jack

Sounds like a plan, guys. I am curious as to how you will balance development times overall though.

Excellent question! The goal is to get games to the point where content can be added at a decent pace. So right now we have SU at this place and slot. Once SU is closer to post-production, Bend or Break may be the project that gets attention, all the while POK is being developed in the background and not forced to be released every month. We will have time due to the other projects either being finished or getting additional content, which takes significantly less resources. The way we see our development is the bulk of the workload is in the pre-alpha state, meaning you as a player only start seeing progress nearing the mid-post development of our games. The idea being that when you see a game it will be at a point of significant content/change. We will monitor the age of a game, and the communities interest moving forward and use that as guides where to divert resources. Hope this answers your question. - SmokeShank

We have been watching newgrounds for a little, and just played with a little webgl (using Unity to export) and we were blown away! Also since Owler kinda disappeared Korra needs some more stuff!

Happy to see that SU will be updated! Things are just starting to get good! Looking forward to the awesome things coming from you guys.

Drazhoath

This is great news indeed. :D

We realized after the fact that the wording we used wasn't the best to describe how we wanted to handle the project. Now it's all about action and we are excited to give you guys some content! - SmokeShank

I like it, and you guys are awesome!

Okay I found out what SU and what I have seen I can say that it is a vary interesting game indeed, I can't find a link on your sites for the game. I can't wait to see both SU and PoK develop!

Andrew Chu

OMG BoB is gonna get updated never knew this day would come = )

Corbo

SU stands for Sunset Underwear. It's all apart of Sunset Riders' master plan to transition from game design to an underwear empire. *Spoiler* Look for more about information about his brand of boxer briefs and thongs soon. ;P

DaApocalypse

Would love to see more content in su. Would throw my bux back your way for it.

gunsmokegames

We were very nervous moving forward with this. Our fans and community was hit hard by the big corporate assholes that be, and we didn't want to further piss people off. We are so happy, thank you for the support - SmokeShank

Dinker

May I humbly suggest in the future you keep updates like this on youtube? Cause I love you guys and I want you here forevers so I can throw (tiny) amounts of money at you! :) No reason to poke bears.

Dinker

Also if this is the wind up for an April Fools joke I will NOT be amused. *grumpy Dink* :|

gunsmokegames

They cannot stop us from talking about these things. What they can and will stop and violate their TOS is hosting these projects (which we will no longer do) on Patreon. Thank you for your support. - SmokeShank

Knolic

Can't wait for the Sunset Underwear update. Since the "Roulette" Collection I've been unable to wear anything else.

Quick question: can we expect a build of one of your projects to still come this month or does the SU 1.6 we got weeks ago technically count as the March build?

gunsmokegames

Yes. Going forward the builds will come more towards the middle of the month. We are hoping to have a build in your hands in a couple weeks time. I will keep everyone posted weekly with how things are progressing along with timelines as the build nears a release state. - SmokeShank

Nicholas

Yeah this is fabulous news! Will be a great start getting SU out as your first. I'm sure it'll make a lot of people happy. Happy people are more willing to part with their money and support future things if it's proven things can be delivered. But yeah just keep it hush hush.
