Well it has been 4 years since the last update.  I have some news for the game:

It is back on the App Store, which was one hurdle as my developer license lapsed.  That is now resolved and the game is published.  Can be found on this link:

Hey All,

Good news most of the artwork is almost done!!  That is the biggest hurdle for me in development and it’s almost nearing completion with that part.

I have already started testing Chapter 3.  I wanted to show you a sneak peak of this testing.  In the video below I am showing going from the…

Hey All,

I have not abandoned the project, I have just been insanely busy and in my free time have been doing other things besides working on the game.

I still plan on completing the game. What does completion mean? For me that is Chapter 3, Steam, and Android port. I just do not have an…

The game has been submitted to Apple for approval.

I hope they can approve this fast. I really want this game released while my wife Sarah is still with us. It was part of our dream to have this out and I want her to whiteness it.

Please ask Apple to fast track this for us.

Hey All,

Sarah is still home on hospice care.  She is comfortable but steadily declining.  Only thing we can do is be by her side and talk about memories, good times, and how much we love her.

I’ve tried my hardest while she was sleeping to get this game completed so I can submit to Apple.  I’m pr…

Hello All,

I know this blog is many days past the usual time I write them and I wish I could say it was for a good reason but unfortunately that is not the case.   My wife finally got to come home from the hospital after her surgery last Friday the 10th.  However by that Tuesday she had taken a tu…

Hello All,

Well we are wrapping everything up nicely for release.  We are looking at August 21st as the absolute last day to submit to Apple.  Shooting for sometime next week for submitting.  Will let everyone know when we submit.

My wife, Sarah, is still recovering in the hospital.  She was set t…

Hey All,

We  now just finished week 20 of development.  It’s amazing to actually see how much we have accomplished in 5 months, and to see what was in my head actually playable and alive.  We are down to the last final weeks.  I would like to have everything done in the next 2 weeks and by week 22…

Hey All,

Sorry this is a day later than usual.  It has been a crazy week.  The wife is still in the hospital and had emergency surgery on Tuesday.  Spent lots of time in the hospital and with kids.  Got stuff done in the downtime.

Here is the change log:

• adjusted lighting again
  • I am going to chang…

Hey All,

Another busy week.  The wife is still in the hospital.  I know everyone has a different religion, but whatever religion that may be please send prayers her way, it’s much appreciated.  She currently has an infection and with ImmunoTherapy this needs to be treated immediately.  It is very …

Hey All,

Very excited about today’s blog update.  I have to say this is probably the biggest update we have had yet.  So much work went into this update.  Very long nights to get this done.  The wife has started her immunotherapy treatment and we are hoping for the best on that front.  Pleas…

Hey All,

WOW it has been 4 months already. I feel it has gone very well. When I look back to the beginning I can’t believe how far the game has come. These next 8 weeks are going to be exciting with the game.

First up is I have completed the entire layout of world 1. I can play from the beginning …

Hey All,

I can’t believe it’s almost been 4 months. I am really glad I decided to do these blog posts as it is a sweet log of everything accomplished but also shows how much we have improved.

This week is actually a fairly large update. Development went fast as there was very little issues with th…

Hey All,

Not too much was done on actual coding this week. I worked on a lot of the artwork. Not my favorite part but essential for the game. Did all the artwork for world 2 room designs. This consisted of:

• Trees
• Bushes with flowers
• Picket fence
• Gate for fence (doors to other rooms)
• Grass

Also cre…

Hey All,

Blog is a day later than usual, there was a bug with saving that I wanted to complete before posting. The auto save feature was not saving some global variables correctly that was needed for the room randomization scripts. In order to resolve this I had to re-write the scripts as it was r…
