Hi I forgot I need to make posts here!
Recap of the past couple months
A huge portion of the team graduate college, and those that didn’t finished their semesters. Many of us are now back to working on Enzio-Ware.
Now that I (Ben) have had other people to run things by internally, we decided to cut back on some features while focusing on making the game, namely the shop and cosmetics.
These features will come back in full force eventually, but at this current point in time it was just taking up too much dev time to be constantly writing shops and making new cosmetics for those shops.
When Will The Main Story be “finished”
We have been working on getting all the characters to 10 microgames, alongside bringing them to the new cutscene system. The original target date was July, but that is probably not feasible anymore. The hope is August, but this may be pushed into September.
This also means the epilogue will probably be in like December unless our time estimates are way off.
Why did the last update not have sound?
Fuck you
Was the last update really all that was developed since 2.1.0-EA?
No, from memory we had an update that brought Carmy to 10 microgames, along with the first attempt at rebalancing Sam. There were also backend updates to both the shop and password system that took time to implement, but because the decision was made to de-prioritize them afterwards, ended up being wasted time.
Additionally, there is stuff in the game that has just yet to be released. Kendra and Carmy’s episodes have been rewritten for the new system, we are just missing backgrounds and sounds right now (which is why the latest update had a negative in the version number)
Work on the epilogue has also been done on and off.
What are you doing to prevent future delays
I (Ben) am considering taking time off of my master’s degree to finish up this game (honestly I hate this program anyways). While I would still need members of the team to polish up assets, if I wasn’t in school the past couple months the epilogue might’ve genuinely been in beta by now.
As mentioned prior, we have de-prioritized some of the game’s online features that most players probably will not care about, while we work on improving the main gameplay loop and getting the game out of early access.
This ended up being a semi-serious post by the original bit was just gonna be me posting this image of Mat (from the DMV)’s new design and nothing else oops.
