Army of Tentacles 1's redo is about 50% complete. All of the side quests are finished. Brain fog is not helping my productivity, but I'm doing about two quests a day, plus a quest a day on Army of Tentacles 2.
I know I originally set the release date for February, and then March, but if they both are ready by the end of January, they might be both launching then.
Don't worry. I fully realize my workload as well as my current state of being/mind/health, so it might not happen.
Army of Tentacles 3 is a different story. It's a lot less restrictive than Army 1, both code-wise and VO-wise (because there is no VO). We thought about adding VO to the game, but ruled against it, as that would be money we need for Unicorns and Dinosaur Cousin Squad, and the game's plot relied on a lack of VO.
The biggest change to Army 3 is that we are cutting down the number of Arguments for a leaner, faster experience. With the DLCs, Army 3 has a whopping 70 Arguments to Army 1's, what, 20? I don't yet know how that is going to translate into quests yet. Some quests might be merged with others, I don't know yet. A lot of the Arguments were not even related to quests, and those may be the majority that go. Another feature that is going to take some busywork.... Army 3 has a large party, and it'll be interesting to see what skills change, what stay the same, and what have fun new uses.
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.
