Hey there, everyone! Sorry this update took longer than I said. I have some news to share with you in this update!

2 Day Demo Progress...?

The 2 day demo is nearly complete! We already have people testing it for feedback. You all will finally be able to play it soon!

New Discord Server!

We opened a new Discord server. In this server, you will be able to chat with us, and other FSDJ fans. We will also be posting exclusive teasers in the server! If you want to join, then here's the link: https://discord.gg/87C3tA7vhy

Game Status

Okay, now let's get to actual development progress.

Janitor Section

This is basically complete now. Most programming is complete, all that is left to do is making assets for it, which is the slowest part of the process. Apart from assets, I just need to add story sequences for every day after day 2. But I won't be working on that until after the demo is released, for obvious reasons. We wanted to have a trailer ready for this, but it ended up taking too long. There will be a trailer for the upcoming 2 day demo instead.

The Dayshift

This is also almost complete. There are a few bigger things I haven't finished yet. Such as:

Jimmy's computer.

This is hardly finished, but you will be able to do a lot on it. You can find web addresses and go to them, look through company files, or use any other program Jimmy has on his computer. There's a lot to do here, and it will take time.

Arcade Games.

We had a lot of cool ideas for arcade games, but a lot of them didn't work out. We'll play with more ideas when we're done with the janitor's section.

General balancing.

The game is still really, really unbalanced, There are a lot of ways you can abuse money-making right now, level progression is TOO fast, and enemies are too tough early game. There are also a lot of healing items that can't sustain your health in-battle. It's been really hard to find a sweet spot between a challenge and too easy.

Substories.

Substories kind of play into balance as well. They're supposed to give you rewards and benefits to make the game easier, but a majority haven't been added into the game yet. I'm trying to figure out when each substory should become available, because I don't want you to blast through every substory in the first day, and then blast through the entire game. That wouldn't be very fun, would it? I'm also unhappy with a few substories, and might go back and rewrite them a little.

I am also thinking of adding more ways to work, like performing on stage. But I haven't been thinking about that too much yet. My focus has been on finishing up the Janitor's section.

That's the current status on the dayshift part of the game. It's not the focus right now, but I've been slowly working on it whenever I feel like it. Once the janitor's section is complete I will go and finish those things up.

That's all I have to share in this update. Remember to join our Discord server. We will be active there, and you'll get some exclusive teasers there!

Oh, and that thing I said in that last post? Yeah, we need some more time to cook on that. You will see it soon enough...

Have a good day, everybody.
