Hey Everyone!
The Two of Us has now been out for just over a year and I thought I would make a post to thank you all!
We have had 435,218 unique players play the game and we still are still sitting at 87% positive reviews. It really warms my heart to see that so many people have played my game and enjoyed the experience.
For anyone that has followed the game from the beginning, you would know this originally started as a University project that I decided to just chuck onto Steam for the sake of it. After seeing it do well I decided to continue development on it and release stage 2 of the game. As you could probably see from previous blog posts, a speedrunning community was created with this game and I got to see some really interesting bugs that were in my game and some very clever uses of game mechanics.
This game actually led to me landing a Game Development job which has been awesome this year but very busy work. I do see the comments people leave in forums and do occasionally get emails from you guys about the future of the game and just know I hear you.
I do not know what the future will hold for The Two of Us, I really would love to work on this game again but with the knowledge I have gained in the past 12 months, I would want to rebuild the game from the ground up using better practices and trying the fix the networking issues a lot of you have encountered. That said, if any of the players would like to see the game fixed up and more levels potentially added please reach out to me. If I do see enough support for the game I will set aside the time to make it happen.
Once again, thank you all for playing my game. You guys really are the best. I wish you all a Happy New Year and hopefully you will hear again from me :)
Thanks,
Ethan
