You can now play forever!
Hi, Nora from the studio Downstairs here! 🌞
First of,
15 000 copies sold??!
Thank you all so much! It hasn't even been a year since we released, but we have appreciated everyone's support on this game. I wanna take this post to talk about both the update (duh), but also comment on how our thoughts for the future
Endless update
When you now finish to pay off all 6 debts (7 with introduction), you will receive an option to either "win" or continue the game. From that point, you will still have 3 days to complete the current quota, but it just gets higher with each pay off! Good luck
The scalability with endless is difficult to balance, but we have gotten this request a lot, so we hope people really can try their communication skills to the edge.
Also fixed the boxes colliders in the van, so you don't get stuck - thank you discord #feedback-and-bugs
Developer thoughts on:
- Team status
We are four developers in Studio Downstairs, all having different main sources of income. Downstairs is our company and dream to work fulltime on. The past 6 months we started a new project (I Unplugged the Kids), fixed a first prototype, done a lot of boring business stuff and finished our update with Find or be Found (+ a lot more, but I'm not gonna go into it) - so we're feeling good, but maybe a bit tired hehe! We are however excited about the future, and very much so with the new game :D
- Find or be Found:
It's amazing how well the gave have been received even with all the optimization issues. These are mostly because of decisions we made early in the development that have now caught up with us and something we really can't do anything about. We have done some active patches with how it affects the RAM, since that is what we believe is the main issue, but we can't really test if it works better - we just hope haha !
We, anyways, really appreciate peoples patience when it comes to these fixes and for all the positive reviews you've shared about the game itself - so thank you!!!
- Our upcoming game - I Unplugged the Kids:
It's not horror, but co-op! A kindergarten simulator game where the children are robots🤖 We have been wanting to express more fun in our game since Find or be Found, so we really believe this is a fun concept where we in the team can express ourselves a bit more :D
Our goal for the project is to get funding however, since as I mentioned before - we wanna do this for real this time! Better scope, better optimized and just more fun (and a salary)™️
The future:
Find or be Found will be more on the ice henceforth. We will fix critical bugs, maybe small things and continue to have good sales (!!!) but otherwise, we will try to focus on our next game! We're telling this just to be transparent, and we hope you understand :D
