Development Underway!

I decided that my Ludum Dare 42 entry, Johnny’s Flipbook Space Adventure, deserves an official release, so I have been working on a rewrite which will be released on PC, Mac, and hopefully consoles. There are two reasons I decided to continue development.

First, the game was very well received by the Ludum Dare community. After every Ludum Dare, I think about continuing development, but since this game scored so well, I think that this one should be improved so it can be released. I plan to add and tweak a few things to make game play better.

My second reason is that I think the game I was working on, Space Mission Survival: The Next Mission, would make a great add-on. You can read about my on-again, off-again development of SMS:TNM but to summarize: I love that game, I’ve made a lot of progress, but I get waves of doubt and discouragement in developing it since I am unsure of it’s success for various reasons (I still have plans to release that game, but a flip book version fits in well here).

So, Johnny’s Flipbook Space Adventure will have two chapters: an enhanced version of my Ludum Dare entry, and the classic Space Mission Survival game released to mobile years ago, but with the new flip book style. I think this will be a great game, and I am excited about its development. I hope to get a game play video out soon, and I am hopeful that a playable beta can also be released.
