Hello everyone!
(Quick read: Underlined text)
As some of you might've noticed I have released a new project ("Tail Trail") two days ago.
This can be understood as me ignoring the promised continuation of Sticks and bones.
Which is not true.
Sticks & Bones was meant to be done in episodes each time as a different story, same theme (Pirates)
As I have mentioned before I'm an indie solo full-time developer, I create games on 0 budgets.
Time spent creating Sticks and bones is a cost only I pay, therefore I have decided before I start making Sticks and bones series of small games (episodes); I would create Episode 0 (Not 1 but Zero).
This is meant to be a test to the market and audience, ("Testing the waters") the planned episodes are not
going to be very different in terms of:
-Theme
-Style
-Gameplay (to a degree)
If Episode 0 did well ((FINANCIALLY)) it means people like it and I can afford to create the rest (Hiring a writer, artists, development costs such as assets, mo-cap, and a lot more)
Sticks and bones did surprisingly well in terms of reviews and media reactions but did not do well enough to cover the costs of the development of future episodes
HOWEVER
It does not mean Sticks & Bones is over in any way.
It only means that Sticks & Bones so far remain a personal Indie-solo project that I will create only when I have enough budget to cover the costs of development & at least an entire year to full-time work on the project.
(Even if years passed by, I still want to create the episodes)
What is my solution?
I'm still a full-time indie solo game developer, I will create and work on more project that can help improve my chances to be able to afford to create more games (like Sticks and bones)
My new game/Animation short ("Tail Trail") is an investment I made to improve my skill sets, learn and grow as a game developer, to increase my chances and opportunities to work > earn > afford and pay for future projects and games such as Sticks & Bones...
I would like to clarify that this is not meant to be understood as a way for me to ask for your support
Again please do not purchase my games just to support me, only do if you like what I offer.
Thank you very much if you purchased, if you commented, if you wrote a review (Negative or positive), if shared, or even if only talked about Sticks and bones. I appreciate it!
