Hi all,

Due to a minor family emergency I couldn’t push the build and video out on time, however I’m close to finishing them so will get that done in the next few days. This will likely happen a few times through winter unfortunately, which has me wondering whether the videos are worthwhile or if I should piff them to work on other aspects of the game. I think I could more reliably get the weekly builds out if there was no associated video, for instance. If you have time to comment I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.

In the mean time, here’s a sneak peek of what I’ve been working on:

Pretty, no?

    Wow, that’s actually kind of gorgeous. My doubts about this new art style have now been squashed.

    I appreciate the videos. It’s nice to be able to see everything that’s new in action, and it’s just cool that you’re taking the time to talk about your game in this way… However, I think allowing actual development of the game to go as quickly and smoothly as possible is probably more important, and the blog posts along with every weekly build are already quite nice on their own. I never would have expected to get weekly builds and updates on what’s going on behind the scenes, especially given that you’re just one person trying to make this all happen.

    Perhaps you could keep doing videos, but less frequently as more of a general overview of your recent progress and future plans. That way you wouldn’t be tied down to any particular schedule and could instead come out only where they make sense. Or, you could just drop them all together. I think most people would be plenty happy just to be able to try new builds out.

    While I enjoy the weekly update videos, I think that if they cost too much time on your end, drop them. Maybe go for bi-weekly or monthly updates or something to leave more time for your actual work…?

    Really enjoy the videos. Amusing, informative. But if they slow you down too much, drop their frequency?

    The videos are great, but if you only released them monthly or when ever it made sense to you, I would not be sad at all.
