Doing things isn't easy.
Video games are hard, as someone once said I forget who, but it's an actual quote. I think it may be from an executive. I dunno.
Being a niche indie company is hard.
Hired a new writer for Spooky Cat Girls?'s classroom scenes when it became clear that it would not make a reasonable launch date for October. It was either launch directly before the Halloween sale (and this was hoping Valve would accept the final build on the first submission, never something a designer should bet on) or delay it, and we chose to delay it. We feel December also fits in with the theme of the chosen play.
Super Army of Tentacles has always been my baby, but it's gone through so many changes, due to gameplay as well as personal reasons, that I feel a disconnect with it. Rather than make a tentpole game that I do not want to make, I handed it off to another team member for a 2023 release. This would be the first Army of Tentacles game not helmed by me, which is exciting as I 100% trust my team and think it is time that we all grow in that fashion. We've been alive almost five-point-something years now.
In the place of Super Army of Tentacles, I plan on making a new, full VN-RPG Army of Tentacles game. I feel much more confident about this one, and it will launch at the same time that Super Army 2022 would have. That will be announced soon, maybe with the other 2022 games. Maybe not. Who knows.
Making games is hard.
You've been abandoned by your con buddies at the world's most popular pop culture convention! But wait, twelve ultra-cool monster squid things that are also medical doctors and may or may not be creatures of the dark that travel through time have just walked in! Can you muster up the courage to ask them if they want to be your new Con Friends? Maybe you can spend all four days with one of them?
Basically, the gameplay is thus:
- You have four days at the convention, with multiple things to do!
- Each of the twelve squid siblings has their own schedule, and depending on who you spend time with, you can gain Reputation!
- Win prizes!
- Do or do not destroy the universe!
- Find love?
You know, the usual stuff you do at a geek convention.
