Eternal Frenemies: Return to Eternity

2 months ago

The game has a little "surprise" for those who complete the demo...(update in article, FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS PLEASE READ)

Head on over to the game page and give it a try!!

Yes, the game menu will look a little different when you play through every one of the demo's choices!! Comic readers may appreciate it a little more than most...

---------------------------------------------------------------

On a more serious note....this may be the last "game screenshot post" I'll be able to give you for a while in order to keep from spoiling anything important. Hear me out:

The demo has been out for a week, I have 220+ followers, 20 people follow the game page.....and yet only two people besides me have actually played it (according to the game's stats as of this post). While I expected as much being a no-name dev, it's not a good leg to stand on when trying to appeal to the hosting site for permission to upload the full game later on (which is now thrice the size of the demo and still not complete, making the contact necessary).

As GameJolt is very saturated with creators and devs, I have to keep putting out relevant material to keep the public aware of the game's existence. I've shown you all the menu screens and the mechanics, so all I can do now is screenshots and reposts. As the game also functions as a "lore-dump" in addition to an origin story, it is difficult to find screenshots of gameplay that can capture your interest without spoiling something you're supposed to find out as part of the game experience.

I plan to have the full game released by the end of March, so between now and March 15th (I want to make the appeal a couple of weeks in advance), PLEASE give the demo a try if you have a computer, and support the game page and/or devlogs if you don't. I'm not counting on you to like it in any way, I just want you to see my collective effort over these past few months for yourself (and help the numbers for my support case). If you do like the game demo, boosting in any manner (likes, comments, posts, etc) that can help the game project's reach extend further is greatly appreciated!

I will get back to work on the main game, and do my best to return with more game-relevant material as soon as I can!

So....with the game done, I think I'll let it marinate... Hope that it works well enough to grow an audience.

What was the takeaway for me as a dev?

Read the article to find out! #ScreenshotSaturday

Okay, so the first 24 hours seem good....of course, the ten percent rule reared its ugly head, but the game did a little bit better than I hoped! The game has 50 followers!🙌🏼

Still some little issues to add to the update checklist...in the article below.

I swear there's a special kind of AAAAAGGGHHHHH when debugging game code and finally discovering solutions to the most annoying problems THE DAY BEFORE RELEASE.....

I'm sick, but I'll keep pushing - I want this game to be published and available for all.

Don't miss out on your chance to complete our #AetherAndIron quests and get trophies!

Complete the quests in your quest log.

Letter to my people here....

That includes those follow me and/or the game and/or just lurking.

Read the article for the elaboration you deserve on the status of the Return to Eternity VN that was scheduled for today.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Welp, it’s official:

The Return to Eternity VN game is up and playable for anyone with access to an internet browser! It may not have all the fancy UI elements planned, but the story and art are fully intact! I hope you enjoy and take the survey after!

HELLO CLASS!

Today on this lovely #ScreenshotSaturday, we're gonna go over the two different kinds of non-sprite art you will see in the game - backgrounds and CGs (which I abbreviate for "cutscene graphics")!

Read the article for the whole lesson.

@Benaiez is a Jolter to Watch and game dev! Follow @Benaiez before the quest ends on April 14 and you'll get Coins!

So at this point, I have less than 24 hours to get the game ready for release.

Those who follow me and/or this game, the following article is for you to read.
