Lost Items News — October 12, 2017
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello everyone !
It's been a long day since I didn't post here, and I think you deserve some informations about Lost Items, the future of my projects, ...
So let's start with
IGMC : What is that ?
IGMC stands for Indie Game Maker Contest.
It's a game jam that started October 4th, 2017 and ends November 5th, 2017.
I'm working a lot on the project I plan to submit for this jam, so I can't really do much more yet.
You can access it here. Don't forget to check their humble bundle, it increases the cash prize and also gives you a lot of wonderful content!
So, what about Lost Items ?
I must say that I'm not really motivated by the project right now : I need to rewrite a lot of things, and that's not the best part. Plus I'm still studying, so I don't have that much time to spend on it (that's why I'm happy the jam gives us a month for everything).
So, Lost Items is not abandonned, and it won't be : it's just paused, until I choose if I redo the project from scratch with an engine to improve it faster and easier, if I rework the whole code for the same reasons or if I keep that ugly code, which I don't really want.
What about future projects ?
They probably won't be on Steam, unless I win the game jam : I don't have $100 to spend for every game, mostly if they are free. So I will probably only use itch.io and RPG maker for now, and continue Lost Items when I have the time and motivation. I don't plan much for the "after game jam", unless maybe participate in more game jams with RPG Maker engine. I'll see.
So that's all for today! It wasn't really structured as I didn't plan to make that announcement until I'd enter the jam for real, but people convinced me it was better to announce it to get potential new enties!
Don't forget: there is a people's choice, so come to see the games and vote for the one you prefer!
