Greetings everyone! Wow. Happy new year! It’s 2023 we're still not quite ready to release our first chunk. We're about two months behind schedule - guess that makes us real game developers! No, all jokes aside: the gameplay of the first, free chunk of the game is finally complete! Getting all of this done while still having regular jobs is challenging, but we’re getting it done.
Now we're off to recording the voices of all of the characters and finishing off the cutscenes and main menu. So we're still very hopeful the first chapter will be released in Q1!
Chapter one will now feature three different endings and solutions. We also wanted to make sure that the players get a smooth introduction into the story and the world of our game.
Once we're done with the last few cutscenes and the voice acting, we'll ramp up our old and crappy website and get this thing out there, before we gear up for our Kickstarter campaign. Thanks alot for your patience, as this is our first release. We're giving it all we've got to make it worthwhile!
As our skillset grew we decided about half a year ago that it would be best to rebuild the game from scratch to include everything that we had learned over the years. When we first started working on President Rocket Game it was really only meant to be a small minigame and over the past few years we had so much fun working on the characters and the crazy little parallel universe that our game is set in, that the story and scope of the game has drastically increased. We’ve updated our games quick description accordingly:
Earth. Total climate breakdown is inevitable. Even though the United Nations have long realized that the situation is dire, the mighty alliance of the Autocratic Five is sabotaging every effort to save earth's climate. In a desperate PR stunt, a German tech company seeks to persuade them to join the cause while a conspiracy of global proportions is unfolding on the company's compound.
For many different reasons ex-president Lloyd The Prez Kinski - an arch conservative hypocrite and chauvinist, Liv Lundgren - a young militant climate activist and Leroy Jefferson - a successful beloved entrepreneur need to infiltrate the Brunner Tech compound. And YOU will need to make sure they work together without killing one another. What the hell could possibly go wrong?
Cheers, peace and freedom!
