Time for an update (Patreon)

Last update post was on just 27th, so it's been a little while. Let's talk.

Future of Camp Mourning Wood

The truth is that the game has already been getting close to release for a while now, so the Steam debacle isn't going to change that. The thing that will change however is how much time I spend on the next game.

Genie Trainer has been in the concept phase for over two years now and I'd like to start making more progress on it. Both because I don't want there to be a large gap between the release of CMW and the first playable demo of GT, but also because it's fun to work on something else for a while :)

State of CMW

So where are we at exactly? Right now we're still working on the CGs for the finale. Jodsy is unfortunately very busy with his job and the heat isn't helping, so progress has been a little bit slower. I've asked Potchi to begin helping him as well.

In the meantime I'm adding extra content to the game as a little bonus. More side missions, more secrets, stuff like that. CMW is such an open setting that I could keep adding content to it for years, but my motivation has dropped a bit after the Steam news. I might expand it more in the future, but working on GT has been fun so far.

Regular updates will not change. Next update is in August =)

State of Genie Trainer

Still very early in development. I have my main inspiration, a good idea of the main gameplay elements and the story is mostly locked in. Right now I'm looking into art style and writing the intro to the game. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but getting everything just right for the first few minutes of a game is very important and can take a lot of time.

Hiring

The position for Editor and Animator is still open. I've closed writer for now (thank you for everyone who applied). I've had a lot of good applications, but I've settled on one additional writer for the moment who's currently helping me with the tone / setting of GT.

I'll keep everyone's application on record in case more positions for writer open up in the future =)

Wrapping up

So we're wrapping it up there. Figured you guys deserve to know what's going on over here. Technically not much has changed, it's just that work on the next game and the weather is slowing things down a litte. We're still well on our way to release on time for August, so stay tuned for that =)

Thank you for reading this long ass post ^^". I hope you are all doing well and I'll keep you updated in the future.
