Next month, I plan to launch my Steam Greenlight campaign for Dehoarder 2. This means that while I usually take about a month off this time of year, this year that will not be happening. Sure, I will take some time off, just not my usual amount.
For starters, there is another trailer to prepare, and I have an ace in the hole on this one. I’ll play my cards close for now, but I will say I’ve been getting some very helpful and direct advice from a pro who is very excited about Dehoarder 2.
I’m almost happy enough with the interface to allow the game to be played “in the wild”, a very important step toward getting this game in front of a beta audience. The game is very nearly following “The 5 Golden Rules of Input“, even if the process of getting there felt a bit like The Doctor’s escape from the confession dial.
The Schlep Boxes have had a long-overdue upgrade. Each one is now a full-fledged junk fountain, complete with opening animation. Also, the plastic storage tote makes its debut as a higher capacity junk fountain. Rooms are starting to be populated with more than just random junk. It’s starting to come together, but it still needs more work.
So, I’ll be here plugging away while sipping hot cocoa, eating Hickory Farms, and listening to Christmas music. I’ll be happy, though, because this is what I love to do. I hope that all of you and yours have a great holiday!
