Hi everyone,
I’m trying something new! Starting right now I’ll be bringing you monthly recaps of what happened in the world of Festival Tycoon, and a view of what’s coming up on the horizon. This month I’ve got quite a bit to get through, so let’s go :)
Join my weekly development livestream!
Do you want to get a look behind the scenes and see how Festival Tycoon development is going live and as it happens? Then I got some got news for you: I’m are doing weekly dev live streams taking place every Thursday at 19:00 CEST on my our Twitch channel.
If you miss a stream there are recordings of some episodes on my Twitch channel. For example in the most recent stream I made bumper cars for some extra festival fun and had a fight with some bugs and AI issues :D
New playtest for players and influencers coming soon!
I’m also working hard on a new test version of the game and will open a new Steam playtest Soon(™)! Existing playtest members will also get game access and feedback would be super helpful for me if you are a member and want to take part! I will post more updates on the dates and how to apply as soon as they’re locked in.
I will also be sending an early test version of the game to influencers soon and are hoping for a few let’s plays :) Let me know if you spot some out in the wild, I will make sure to link them in the next update!
Our Discord is verified and now has custom emojis!
Our Discord server got an upgrade this month! Firstly we got verified and are now all official with a green tick and everything :D S
Secondly we now have custom emojis on the server and I can’t wait to see all your copypasta emoji spam! You can join the Discord here for more regular game dev updates if you haven’t already!
We made some Future Friends!
Lastly I got a new partner helping me with Festival Tycoon! Future Friends Games have already helped me on different PR and marketing things in the background over the last months but are now officially on board long term to help me market the game. They worked cool indie games like Cloudpunk, What The Golf, Omno and Exo one before and with their help I will have even more time to focus on game development :)
That’s it for the re-cap for this month! Next month I should have more news and updates around the next playtests and more. Take care!
