November 2023 Progress Update
Wow it's been quite some time since my last update! Sorry about that! I am working very hard every day to make Garbanzo Quest the best video game it can be! Being a one man show it's hard enough making the game, let alone being active online...
The last version release of Garbanzo Quest was in January, so this version has almost been a year in the making! SO much has changed, too much to give a proper summary. It's pretty much a whole new game! There was a version of the game that I had ready early this month, but it felt like something was missing... So I've started another initiative to improve the narrative! Garbanzo Quest is an action-adventure game, so I think having a stronger narrative will help give more gravitas to the journey. It worked before when the game was shorter, but after adding so many new levels and worlds I really think the new narrative will add a lot!
To help with testing I have acquired a Steam Deck and an old MacBook! I set up my development environment on both. Supporting Windows, Linux, and Mac should be much easier now! These have already helped me to make big performance improvements!
With this version update I'd say the game is about 65% complete??? I'm aiming for January 2024 as the release for Garbanzo Quest 0.7! If it takes longer, don't be too surprised, heehee!
I really want to start doing more social media stuff, especially since I'm (hopefully) getting kinda closer to the game being done-done. I'm not sure exactly what that looks like. I read somewhere that you should be spending 50% of your time developing the game and the other 50% promoting it... The highest I've ever had it is probably around 10%... I would at least like to start doing monthly long-form updates like this one! If there's something you would be interested in me sharing, please send me an email at garbanzoquest@gmail.com.
As always, thank you all for the support! It sure takes a long time to make a game, huh? This November marks 2 years of full-time development on Garbanzo Quest! My tentative goal is to finish this game before 3 years is up (it is expensive to be alive).
If you'd like to help out with development consider supporting me on Patreon!
All supporters of any amount will appear in the Credits!
Anyways, thanks for reading :^)
