Due to increased stress due to family medical issues and my own medical issues, Dinosaur Cousin Squad has been delayed until sometime next year. We're fast tracking a game that we intended to work on for next Halloween in order to fill its place, as well as working on the DLC sequels that we were going to do for early next year.
DCS could potentially be done by the rest of the team, but because it is the first game of ours in a new genre and engine, plus since I originally started making it as a Christmas present for my younger cousins, I'm trying to be as hands-on as I possibly can be. That just is not possible given my current stress levels from real life currently coming at me from all sides.
I promised them this game two Christmas Day's ago. Ugh. Well, it's going to be great when it comes out. This also gives us the chance to give the game a decent lead-in with a Coming Soon page, rather than just putting one up a few weeks before launch during the busiest time of the year.
So there's the trick. The treats are coming soon.
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.
