June Progress update - New Game!

Hey all! I just thought I'd pop in to let you know what I've been up to in June so far. 

Given the extra time I've had on The Grove - I decided to take take the winning suggestion from last month's vote and rather than just give it lip service as a comic or animation, I would turn it into a fully functioning game! 

I'm calling it Change Deck and have been working on the back end for the last few weeks. It operates using a modified version of the game engine I've used for The Pill and the image above is it playing as a WIP.

The first version will have at least 9 unique animations, and at least 18 animations all up. Depending on how people feel I can either leave it at that or progress it further.

Given this is a big job I've not had a lot of time on The PIll, and the second reward will likely be of a smaller variety, but I can confirm the first version will have at least 9 unique animations and has room to grow (heh) if people are so inclined.

If you have any questions about it feel free to ask below or pop over to the new discord I set up earlier in the month.

Sounds like it could be fun. Hopefully your not overworking yourself though.

Thanks dawnbreaker, I appreciate that. Just trying to make the most of being able to do this full time! Plus in pushing myself to work more in Unity it'll only lead to better things down the line.

Welp I have to give all credit for the initial idea to Alex H for their suggestion in the poll, but I do like where it's going :)

Hope there will be an attribute theft card. Could be a lot of fun.

That does sound fun, but unfortunately it won't be in the initial version, which is itself pretty streamlined. But if folks are interested now I've built the engine I can add that sort of thing in to the next.
