Our continued absence in communication will have undoubtedly raised some questions. And it is high time we give some answers. But first the important bit; we are still alive and kicking! In fact, you could argue we are slightly more alive than before, almost 2 months ago my son Jonas was born. He's doing his job as a small baby perfectly; he's growing like crazy and is highly effective at keeping his new dad away from is laptop. I'm sure he'll soon get the hang of game-development and will proof to be a great asset. But unfortunately at the moment he is not a net contributor. For the others it has been a challenging year too. One of us has was forced to take some time away from the project. And spread out between the remaining team members, there have been more than a few sick kids and other family members to take care of. And most sadly, in one case even the loss of a close relative. Being a parttime game developer can be difficult at the best of times, but over the past 5 months it has proven impossible at times for us to contribute as much as we want to. Last weekend we managed to meet up for the first time and months and renewed our pledges to ourselves and the game. And perhaps most importantly, we restated our enthusiasm about Caromble!. Meeting every Friday as we used to has proven elusive, and the alternative of doing only remote work has not been as productive as hoped. So we made a new deal of meeting one weekend day every month, besides the remote work. That should give us the continuity we are looking for.
As a consequence there might be less updates on Steam Community however. Instead of the 'regular' weekly post we'll infrequent updates here. If we are slow to respond to a question on the forum (we don't get a notification for a new discussion... ) feel free to shoot an email to info at caromble.com. In the mean time, out of the limelight work is still ongoing! Bossfights are being prepped and crates are being stacked. Thomas S is still cranking out new assets to be put in levels. We are still working on the narrative part of Caromble!. So please give us some time, and we'll 'soon' give you more Caromble!.
