Controller support coming and about the demo's save feature
The issue with controller support has been detected and fixed. However, testing needs to be done to ensure that it is compatible with different controllers. This means the update to the game won't be uploaded juts yet. There may have to be a review process as well for the new build so I'm going to say that controller support will be implemented next week so please be patient while we get things sorted out.
Also, the demo was removed but it has been advised to return it for any potential customer desiring to try the game out first. The reason for it's removal was because the demo can save your progress but this save file is now incompatible with the full release of the game, meaning you cannot pick up the game where you left off in the demo. A new demo will be implemented to remove the save feature so for now the old demo will remain. Just be aware that you cannot continue your game where the demo leaves off.
Game released and controller support issues
I would like to apologize as this game was intended to release 2 days ago but there were delays in the QA and review process. I spent the last few days working non-stop to get this game out and finally managed to but there was one thing that hindered my progress and had to remove and that was gamepad support.
On the last hours of getting this game ready, controller support seemed to seize functioning. I have yet to discover what the cause of this is and I could not figure it out on time. We'll be looking into this issue and we'll update you guys when it's been fixed.
There is also free DLC planned that will begin production next week that will contain all the features that I wanted to add but could not due to time restraints. The DLC will contain extra levels that will be more challenging than the ones present in the normal game along with some unlockable extras such as concept art and development trivia that will be a behind the scenes look at the development of the game. It will be available in two months time but an exact date has not been decided.
That's all that I have to say and I hope you enjoy the game.
Release date coming late spring, Extended Demo available by request
Thank you all for visiting the MSP store page on Steam. This game has been worked on a little over a year and I am happy to announce that it will soon be released coming late spring. However, there are some things that I must mention.
First off, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Juan and I have been working on this game all by myself with most of the assets in the game created by me. I have been making games under the Toolkitz brand for 5 years and in those 5 years, I have learned that making games by yourself is not only very difficult but in the end not as worth as working with others. That is why this will be the final game in my so called "Solitary Years" as my next project will aim to work with others.
Second, the release date is late spring but I am aiming for an April release. However, all the content I wanted to add into the game cannot be included by that deadline so that is why I decided to release a Story only version of the game come this April. This version of the game is just the storyline and some extra levels. This is the basic game but there will be an upcoming expansion that includes extra goodies such as concept art and early game footage to unlock along with some special surprises. I figured since this stuff is just extra, it isn't really required for the storyline to be enjoyed. This extra content will take an additional 2 months so I figured I can offer them for later down the line as free DLC.
Lastly, this game is currently in a demo state so feel free to download it and provide feedback. However, if you wish to review the game or provide a playthrough of it, there is a special Extended edition that includes more levels than what is in the demo. If you are interested in getting more content and are a reviewer or have a channel, then please contact me.
That is all I have to say right now. There will be updates until the release of the game so please keep an eye on this project and thank you for visiting the store.
