Back in 2019, I released a demo for The Chains that Bound me and failed to gain a community that would support this game. I had to make a decision to drop this game development. In doing so, I finished the Chains Demo and left it as a big chapter with 2 hours of content. Finding people to play a gruesome RPG Horror game didn't appeal to people and that's mostly because of how niche this game is. After 5 years since the demo release, nothing has changed, but, I still am making games. During my last post, I said I would build a website, get a company going and I have. It's a slow journey.
Harvest Island, which is the next game I'm making is something fans of The Chains That Bound Me should be looking forward to. If there are any still following since my last post. It is a farming simulator game that takes place on a remote island with their father. If you like how I write my stories, then follow Harvest Island.
As I continue to finish Harvest Island up, I'll revisit the chains again and finish development, but it all depends on the success of Harvest Island and the community. I can't spoil anything for now, but check out Harvest Island.
Unfortunately kickstarter didn't go as intended. It's a bit hard to raise up the funds when you're a nobody. But that's ok. I plan to continue to make games. Probably not this one since this game is too large in scale and requires a bit of funding to finish. I've made many contacts that are willing to support my endeavors as a game developer. It's great to work with them.
During the months after the initial release of this game, I decided to design two other games. Very small games related to this game - to raise a fan base. I also decided to put this game on hold and finish it in the future when the time is right. I can't give you a date or time when the game will continue its development but if I get a lot of support in the future about this game, I'll finish it.
Here are my upcoming games I plan to have released by next year
Em-A-Li: January 2020
Princess: February-March 2020
Changes to the discord: Sometime late 2020
1) implementing a point system/economy for rewards of Y.B. games and merchandise
2) Reworking rank system that supports the reward system
3) Implementing a gaming feature that either supports the reward system or encourages the discord to become interactive
4) Implementing a general lets play for youtubers/twitch
Y.B. Website: Late 2020 (Possibly)
1) All the blogs/video games and merchandise will be located here
2) New Y.B. Logo design
Patreon
This needs a lot of work and will plan to implement some type of special feature only to Patreon members.
Expanding my team
1) I'm still looking for an artist for 2D x.x (Environmental, Animation, Character Design) If you're good at one of these, then contact me.
2) looking for a marketer (Possibly)
3) Looking for a programmer
4) A SFX designer
If you like my work and are a big fan of what I do, really, contact me about what you like to help on.
