Hello everyone! I've (understandably) received a lot of complaints about the lack of development and level updates. I wanted to get everyone up to speed on what is going on over here, so you don't think we've abandoned Dead Acres. Dead Acres is currently 90% complete art asset-wise and 100% complete for music. We still have a lot of bug fixing and code work to do and it's only 45% complete. So you will ask, why no updates? Where are the new levels?
Over the past few months code work has been on hold while we tried to build up enough money to pay our coder to finish the levels (the guy has gotta eat). Another issue is that we are also dividing our time between this and Dark Deception. Dark Deception has a publisher and became a big time obligation for us. This limited our opportunities to work on Dead Acres during the summer. So those months were a wash for Dead Acres development.
Thankfully, the time lost was not completely wasted. We were able to get investments from some large tech companies thanks to our efforts on Dark Deception and our VR development in general. This will allow us to play catch up in the coming months and get Dead Acres wrapped up. So to circle back to the issue....why wasn't Dead Acres updated more often? Money, plain and simple. We didn't have enough of it to keep the ball rolling. Now we do. So thanks to everyone for your patience and to the people who have continually sent us helpful suggestions and feedback as things lagged on our end. It has taken much longer than we wanted, but the final game will be worth the wait.
At the very least, I hope this will show that we are very dedicated to finishing Dead Acres. We will not leave you guys hanging.
