You'd think that self-isolation would be great for an indie dev, right?
Forced to be inside?
Well, yes and no. More no than yes.
Release dates are all sorts of wacky right now. Halloween Times is going to hit its mark, but Rainbow Hollow may slip. I recently moved to Boston, and as such, have not been able to fully focus on game development. I'm taking a few days for myself until my work computer arrives late this week. Even then, I'm all out of sorts and discombobulated from both being in a new city, and not being able to get my bearings because of COVID-19 and the mess it caused. Oh, and I feel like I'm getting sick. No, not COVID symptoms, more like weird stomach stuff.
I've got a schedule, but it is pretty tight, and when push comes to shove, it doesn't look good for the experiment known as Rainbow Hollow getting out anytime soon. I'm much more confident of getting Halloween Times out before summer, and even then, it is going to miss April completely for a May launch. Maybe. We'll see.
In the coming weeks, we'll be putting up a poll and a forum thread about what people liked and disliked about the first two Army of Tentacles games. Take into mind that we would be revamping the quest, inventory, and attribute/stat systems regardless of comments and criticism.
Stay safe out there.
A 100% free adventure set in the North Pole, a few months before the holiday of Saturnalia. It is a time when all the hidden and magical creatures of world spread joy to humankind in the form of gifts and toys that seemingly randomly appear. Led by the High Fae, Klaus, this has been tradition for generations.
Until now.
With one week to go, Klaus has just up and left.... leaving the creatures of the North Pole in charge of getting everything ready. Where did they go? Why now? But most importantly: who will win the annual Best Hot Chocolate award? That's actually the least important question, we just wanted to put that in there.
Also: dating sim aspects. If that's important to you. There's only an international crisis going on. You've got time.
