It's Spring Time!
So here's an update on what's happening with The Fox, The Forest & The Darkness.
In 2025 I thought I would make what they call a "vertical slice" of a game I wanted to make. Since I'm a solo dev with a family and a day job I thought I would use that slice to help find another dev who could help me finish the project.
Well after a little research, and mostly listening to the folks from Hollow Knight / SIlksong, I am now terrified of indie-game publishers. Following their and many other folks' advice, I am going to continue to work on FFD myself and keep it right here on Steam for now.
So what's next? The freaking awesome Hudson Avispon Nature Trail, that's what! More puzzles, more biting social commentary (I guess...), more freakiness from The Darkness and more sass from Cora. I'm also adding a stealth and dash components and we'll meet our first boss here soon enough. I'm hoping to have chapters 2 - 5 available this year and then hopefully finish the game outright in 2027.
The TLDR is I find I really like working on the game and the meta (or outside) stuff, like marketing, self promotion, advertising - well that can just go hang, I'llfigure it out someday I guess. I hope you guys and gals (and everyone in between) like the game and keep playing because accroding to all the online know-it-alls, you'll be the only ones lol!
One more thing, I post more (mostly silly) stuff on the game's website www.706gaming.com
