This week I’m a little late with my blog entry, I think there’s some internal push back that’s saying to me I shouldn’t finish. Still I managed to push forward and build a Press Kit and launch it on my website. I have a humanizing piece at the bottom of the page and some photos for download as well. Who knows maybe some Nigerian scammers will steal the pictures for a dating profile. They were some pretty good shots. I do need to send out some e-mails soon to see if I can get any bites from the media outlets and content creators.
My musician sent me some new boss stage music which is pretty bad ass. Having other people working on the project helps keep me motivated to get things done. It’s exciting having such a great original sound track for the game and in a weird way I really enjoy paying people for their art for the game. I hope the game does well because I want to keep taking care of workers to allow them to do what they love and get paid appropriately for it.
I managed to get a new closed beta build out for my testers. I added in all the text on the towns but I’m still working on authoring all the enemies and attacks for the game. It might be a long drawn out process in the end. There’s a lot of moving parts to it. I also need to look at balancing the various attacks in the game as well. There is a character class that has axes for instance that needs to have a fair amount of work done.
Things got more serious here right before the weekend. The virus has people more on edge here as we have a couple of cases in our area. I had some private social events scheduled which had to be cancelled. I expect that I’ll have to cancel some other things before this is over. This week my kids will be doing telework for school. That might make things more interesting to say the least
