Hello Therapists,
After a long time with no updates, I wanted to let you know how the game is coming along.
Before that, I just want to thank everybody who has played the demo and gave me feedback, it means SO much. Seeing the engagement with this game is the biggest motivation for me to keep going.
And to the people who have streamed the game, your reactions have been AMAZING. I don't remember the number of times I cried laughing watching you all play this and reacting to some of the crazier characters in the game. You made my day so many times. ːsteamhappyː
I just want to say a very big THANK YOU to all of you. ːheartsː
Past Few Months
I would like to apologize for having been quiet since Steam Next Fest. I actually got married 2 months ago! ːRingsː Then we went on a honeymoon for an entire month so I've been mostly offline.
And before that, I had a robotics and simulators workshop which I shut down so I could focus on making Steam games. I'm a solo-developer, working on Therapy Simulator by myself. It's been difficult to juggle life stuff and developing the game at the same time, but I'm happy to say everything is behind me now and I'm fully focused on Therapy Simulator now. ːlaughing_explorerː
Early Access Release
I am hoping to release the game in early access in November. ːcleanhourglassː
Some of the features will be missing in early access so I can focus on the actual fun in this game which is dialogue and choices. I don't want this to be just any other simulator where you manage a shop, buy furniture and all that boring stuff. I want this game to be unique, different than other simulators.
I'm not saying those features will not be implemented to the fullest. I'm just saying that they are not the priority for me at this point. I want fun, engaging and meaningful dialogue. I want to add dozens, if not hundreds of unique characters.
Join Discord
I would like everybody to join Discord, we have a great community over there. I take player feedback and suggestions very seriously. I made a channel on Discord called "Patient Ideas" where you can submit your patient idea and if it receives hype from the community, I will add it to the game!
I welcome all of you to join and let's have a chat! ːGameDust_Neverout_Chatː
See You Soon
Thank you for enjoying Therapy Simulator. I'll talk to you all very soon!
