In other news, I unfortunately don't have a lot I can show you guys this week ^^;
I took Monday off because I was
But then after that I got to work on the Steam back end stuff, which is frankly- a total pain in the ass. But alas, it has to be done. This work consisted of writing descriptions, choosing a lot of categories, figuring out system requirements and filepaths, signing some forms about mature content, and creating like 30 different specifically sized advertising images with very specific requirements. Stuff like this:
I also had to record a video trailer for the game which is admittedly not very good [ not my forte ], but I think having a shitty video is okay. I'd rather have a shitty video and good game than a good video and shitty game LMAO
I was able to save a little time compared to doing this for TPOF since I'd done this once already and at least my tax forms are already signed.
Both my Store Page and Game Build are prepared and sent for review:
With TPOF, these reviews took several days. Shouldn't take too much longer than that hopefully. They may also be rejected [ both my game AND my store page were rejected for the first time with TPOF, due to one picture not having the game title in it and the game crashing on one part on celia's path ]. If they are rejected, that's okay and normal. I just fix whatever they say is the problem and resubmit for approval [ it went faster the second time ].
Aside from that, I did do a bit of other stuff but nothing I can actually show you guys, sorry π
I sent off a design and payment for a new kind of merch related to the game [ made in Canada! ] but that's a secret for now.
I also built a probably-too-elaborate memelord joke, but of course that's secret as well.
For the next little while you guys might be hearing that a lot ^^; I hope my previous record of doing what I say I'm doing can help make up for all of the 'just trust me bro' coming in the next few weeks LMAO
And I think that's about all I have for you guys! Next week I'll probably be building the Beta Testing discord server, generating access codes, and creating the in-game Steam Achievements that I sort of.... completely forgot until now π Any extra time will be spent making more memelord bullshit. Or possibly researching plushies, because I still want to offer plushies and I still haven't found a good option for manufacturing them [ I was really ready about makeship for a while but then a bunch of people told me they don't like makeship plushies π© so I dunno ]
Ah and one last thing! If there's any fellow Canadians here please vote!!! Advance voting started yesterday! I already voted! Do your civic duty! π¨π¦
And happy 420 weekend :)

Is there any idea for the price of the game yet? :]

I actually don't mind Makeship. Had no issues with them yet and that's where another Indy Dev company I follow have they're plushies made from. Theyβve been great so far though they're usually limited edition, true. PS I so still plan to buy 1 of each piece of merch from your Etsy store too once I can!
