Away From Home

Hey everyone! I'm in a good mood lately since I've been making some major strides in the development of part 2 for AFH. I plan to put together a kickstarter pre-launch page for it soon and will likely link it in future posts. I also will be revisiting part 1 to add new content as well as fix some rare bugs I'm hearing about. I do apologize for how mid some of the minigames turned out, I really want to edit some of those to be cooler. I'm thinking in part 2 I'm going to make the minigames part of battles as special moves as well as the overworld and make them much more rhythm heaven inspired as well as having death animations like slay the dragon. I'm feeling very confident in the projects development and actually have a small team working on these things with me now, instead of just me! I learned ALOT from part 1, especially about launch dates and bug testing lol! I appreciate all of your continued support, you're all amazing and here's a few WIPs from part 2.I'll be upgrading graphics in part 2, I was going to make them large like on the right, but realized the animation is super straining. (May as well make a cartoon by that point) so

I put in all the hatman minigames, including half the announced town minigames. Also added an easy, normal, hard mode. A ton of bug patches as well. I pushed these a week or 2 after my car crash, I was going to wait until my next visibility round to officially announce, but I'm just doing it now. Do keep in mind when I work on the game and push updates, I'm not well off financially and this game is definitely a passion project atm and may be forever. I am 100% way in over my head, I tried to solo dev a AAA level art/code game and in doing so, it produces AAA problems that only long sit down dev times can solve since I don't have a team. Chances are when I get to the sequel, I'll need to do a kickstarter or something to expand my team and make dev time faster. I will say though, thank you to all who have been supportive and let me know your thoughts on the added minigames. Also honestly give your thoughts on my deving and work as a whole if you can, feel free to be brutally honest.I am started on part 2 with a friend, but may need to dial it back since the art itself may make it so we never finish that game lol.Here's some pics:

-Minigames are practically done, just being bug tested and will be added in a week.-Some Cutscene additions are being worked on still and will give a proper release on that soon.-Difficulty settings will be added very soon and possibly alongside the minigames within a week.-Might be adding cutscene skipping in this or next update as well.

-7 new quicktime/rhythm minigames-2 new cutscenes-Major Update to hatman battle (new moves/events)
