G'day gamers.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks and I'm still getting used to the whole having-your-own-Steam-page-to-maintain thing, so here are some updates I forgot to post here!
1. Quantum Loop is coming out this November!
I can hardly believe it myself but yes, it's somehow nearly finished and it's coming out in one month.
Some of you might notice the lack of a specific date - I have a date in mind but am currently refraining from specifics, as it's quite likely I'll have something last-minute I'll need to scramble together that will affect the exact date.
Once everything is 100% ready to go, I'll make a post letting you know the final release date! Expect mid-to-late November though :).
2. Quantum Loop was at PAX Aus and SXSW Sydney
This was a really amazing (if exhausting) experience and I'm glad to have seen and talked to so many people playing the game for the first time.
At PAX you might have missed me as I was only a teeeensy little blip as part of my university game development club's booth, but at SXSW I had my own whole-ass booth and that was even more betterer and epic-er.
It's always great to see more people try the game and fall in love with it, and it's also a great time for me to find stupid bugs that somehow are still in there (sorry for everyone on the first day of PAX who had the game crash every time they died). And even watching people who maybe aren't totally into it teaches me a lot about how to make sure I get the early communication right. Anyway, game design tings innit.
tldr thanks all the epic gamers i saw at pax and sxsw; enjoy your unique one-of-a-kind i-definitely-haven't-blacked-out-the-date-with-a-sharpie bookmarks!
3. Oh yeah I have a Discord and stuff btw
Yes.
People who wanna keep super privvy to everything QL please join the Discord, and people who wanna keep somewhat privvy to some things QL please follow my personal Instagram/YouTube @declanprobably!
With Discord bots rife I'm not gonna post the Discord link directly, but here's the Linktree for all you human real people who want to join a cool server where you get to Express Yourself through choosing The Interstellar Body That Best Represents You!!!!!! For you Linktree HATERS I believe Steam also shoves some links at the bottom of the page.
Please especially join if you're interested in helping out with last minute QA playtests. I'm looking at potentially inviting a group of peoples to give the game a playthrough in the last few weeks so I can squish those last pesky bugs.
Thanks for following the game gamers, I can't wait for it to be unleashed upon the world (it is definitely NOT a psyop designed to take over the UN, and the rumours suggesting as much are UNSUBSTANTIATED AT BEST to be frank with you)
all da best,
