School Council Poll Results

Added 2022-11-14 23:48:02 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone! The 0.5 news is that I believe I'm still on course to begin beta testing by the end of this week. One scene left to make a bit of coding left to do and a whole heap of playtesting to follow.

But let's look ahead a little today. If I hit my goal, and have 0.5 polished off by the end of this week, that'll leave a little over a month until Christmas, and so last week, I asked the council in an advisory vote how they felt about another Christmas game.

Now a little background, I had the idea to make Christmas Eva about 72 hours before I released it to you. Making it in 3 days was... yeah, I won't be doing that again. However, I am fairly sure I can make something respectable in a few weeks, slightly delaying the start of work on 0.6. So I asked the council about this, and here are the results...

Now to clarify, I made clear that a smaller Christmas special would be even smaller than Christmas Eva was, but what we have here tells me two things:

1. The council wants a Christmas special, 93% of respondents voted for one.

2. The council is hopelessly divided on how much of my time I should devote to it.

But this is fine, I expect I can probably walk the line and get something about the size of Christmas Eva together while also putting the early preparatory bits of 0.6 together. There are a number of new maps to make, including... well... tell you what, lets save that for another post.

So once I've got the 0.5 launch out of the way, it'll be straight on with the 2022 Christmas game, and we'll have a proper teaser season this time round in place of the sudden "Surprise! new game!" post you got last year!

I'm excited. Are you excited? I'm excited. I'ma go finish 0.5 so I can get on with it...
