You'd think that self-isolation would be great for an indie dev, right?
Forced to be inside?
Well, yes and no. More no than yes.
Release dates are all sorts of wacky right now. Halloween Times is going to hit its mark, but Rainbow Hollow may slip. I recently moved to Boston, and as such, have not been able to fully focus on game development. I'm taking a few days for myself until my work computer arrives late this week. Even then, I'm all out of sorts and discombobulated from both being in a new city, and not being able to get my bearings because of COVID-19 and the mess it caused. Oh, and I feel like I'm getting sick. No, not COVID symptoms, more like weird stomach stuff.
I've got a schedule, but it is pretty tight, and when push comes to shove, it doesn't look good for the experiment known as Rainbow Hollow getting out anytime soon. I'm much more confident of getting Halloween Times out before summer, and even then, it is going to miss April completely for a May launch. Maybe. We'll see.
In the coming weeks, we'll be putting up a poll and a forum thread about what people liked and disliked about the first two Army of Tentacles games. Take into mind that we would be revamping the quest, inventory, and attribute/stat systems regardless of comments and criticism.
Stay safe out there.
