We did it again -_-
Added 2019-06-24 00:16:21 +0000 UTCHello. This is a new weekly report. (I didn’t do them before, but since we’re not spoiling anything from the new game, so...).
Project X. I can say that I really like what we are working on. First, the fact that now it is a full-fledged quality game, without an asterisk to the “adult component”, is a really big step forward for us. Project X is done in a completely different genre compared to MLA, and I know for sure that there are people who really liked MLA that will not like Project X. These thoughts haunted me even before the start of its development (you can even recall a survey about game genres), so I did not view this project as the next main one, but ... at some point I figured out how to combine a new genre and all your favorite elements into one and only then I did I decide to work on it, and... We did it again, we have to made things bigger -_-
This week I finished all the mechanics that will be used in the game. We still must implement all this in the engine and hone all the little things. I also have an idea that will make the game much better… but unfortunately this is not something that can be added later -_- I don’t want to postpone the release, but this innovation will improve the “first impression” by an order of magnitude, so...
If you’ve kept reading to this point, then you already think that I will say now that we are postponing the release for a month or more, but no. We will to do everything with just a couple of extra days. But we’re already on June 24, and I know we said demo in June, but I assure you these few additional days will play a significant role. So I’m now saying that we definitely will not have time to finish the demo in June… because we did it again.
(We would have had time, if I had not decided to remake the terribly boring combat system, we would have had time, if I had not spent a week and a half preparing the Steam version of MLA and the version for Android , we would probably even have made the 30 (+- 2 days) number, if it were not for this new innovation. Were all these valid reasons for putting off the demo? Of course, in hindsight it was worth not getting involved in porting to fucking Android. Otherwise, I can’t say that the other things could have been put off. We did it again, by trying to do too much.)
Steam. MLA has been in testing for 20 days already T_T To elaborate the situation, the problem is more that the game is likely to fail the first check and we will need to make some changes (which we will do in 20 minutes), then the second check will last just as long, and this can repeat over and over. I do not expect that the game will be released in Steam, but it would be cool if it happened. Looking at the current situation, it seems to me that Steam will eventually just ban porn games again.
Total. Thanks to everyone who is still with us. :) As I already wrote, the demo release will be slightly delayed, but not for long. In July, we’ll give you a great demo. We did it again, but be assured that it will be worth the wait.
