Hello Everyone,
I hope you've all been well! ABD: A Beautiful Day is going through some changes, and I feel it will be an exciting change. I'm in negotiations with multiple companies to bring the game to life and even far exceed anything I could have dreamed of before. Also, I'm making the game $4.99 until we get things working properly, marking the game down by 75%. This will change once the game becomes fully operational and people are regularly playing having a good time!
There are also some developments on the side here. I've taken a couple of weeks to recoup from losing the projects funding, went through a mourning phase, and moved onto doing Freelance work to get my mind off of things. Yep, I went out there and made brochures, tweaked peoples facebook photos, some illustration work, and even work for a couple games on Steam as well as multiple F2P modifications. Met some cool people, got to clear my head about the game, and strategize on how to move forward.
So, moving forward!
GAM Ent will be breaking up into three subsidiary groups under the existing parent company:
1.) Veteran Artists Program for Games. V.A.P.F.G.
2.) Mobile & Facebook Games.
3.) Indie Developer Network Integration Courses.
1.) Veteran Artists Program for Games. V.A.P.F.G.
Being a game friendly to Military Veterans, I'll create a section on our website, and in the future a forum, to be a contact for Veterans who wish to get into gaming as a career! Advice, assistance, networking, all in one place for our heroes.
2.) Mobile & Facebook Games.
This process will help us fund further development of ABD: A Beautiful Day, and act as creative exercise. In conjunction with V.A.P.F.G., we'll actually help Veterans link up together, create games, game content etc, and the developers share the royalties! GAM Ent will act as a legal middleman so nobody gets upset, whilst igniting the process for developers of all backgrounds to collaborate on multiple gaming engines, with access to a plethora of advice and experience.
3.) Indie Developer Network Integration Courses. I.D.N.I.C.
Are you an indie dev, or at least would like to be, but you don't have answers to specific workflows or pipeline experience? In conjunction with the above three programs, this will be your one stop shop to get all the answers you need to get you started in the industry.
Long story short for those of you who like to skip to the bottom, she's alive! About to get some paddles to bring her back to life, and I'll be doing my best to turn those negative reviews into positive ones! Of course some players will be negative and terrible no matter what, but that's life here on Steam! At least it's diverse!
Please allow some time for these negotiations, but once they begin it should be a really exciting ride for all of us. Lastly, it appears that Boris has vanished from Earth, and Jack has moved on, so it's just me now. One man steamroller, baby!
