Hey, Mythies!!!
So these weekly updates are gonna be a lil’ short, since the only thing left for me to work on is the Steam release of Book One. I don’t wanna start teasing Book Two stuff much until after Book One is fully out.
Where are we with the Book One Steam release, then?
I submitted the build of Book One to Steam for review, and after a kinda-long wait they came back with… a rejection! But it’s not a permanent “you’ll never be on Steam!” rejection, it was just a few things I need to fix. First, they need me to actually fully code the achievements to work with Steam achievements, which won’t be very hard.
They also said the save files I gave them didn’t work, which surprised me… because I didn’t know I included any save files. It turns out I somehow accidentally mixed my build with my own testing files which included my old saves. Not a huge deal, but it probably confused them that I gave them a bunch of incompatible saves.
Finally, they want to know specifically how to get to the adult content, like a step-by-step guide. My snarky side kinda wants to say “just click the options that obviously lead to sex scenes”. But I wanna play nice with the platform that’s gonna be selling my game, so I’ll do more than just point them toward the built-in walkthrough system.
After that, I have to resubmit, and then it’ll probably be another kinda-long wait.
Once that’s all done, I do plan to take a little break for myself before I start work on Book Two. I’m also not quite sure how I’m gonna go about releasing Book Two. Release chapter-by-chapter like with Mythos? Put it up as Early Access on Steam while I do that? I really have no idea, but I don’t wanna put the cart before the horse. I’m still riding on the high of having actually finished a game, so I don’t wanna just stress myself out ahead of time.
Oh, and we saw Ninja Sex Party this week! Last time we saw them it was the acoustic tour with the Super Guitar Bros, this time they were touring with TWRP. It was a great show! I don’t wanna spoil it in case anybody is going to see it and the show does have some surprises! I was very interested when they warned people that we weren’t allowed to take pictures or record videos except for at a very specific point in the show.
Anyway, that’s all I got for this week. Keep the legends alive!
