Update On... Well, Everything


It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Sorry for a lack of updates recently, but I’ve been busy with various projects that required attention. I just wanted to give y’all a quick update on the YouTube Poop Saga, as well as its expansions.

First, let’s talk about the game itself, and where I’m deciding to go with it. The YouTube Poop Saga, for now, will be the last game in the YouTube Poop series. I know, it might sound a bit sudden, but I’m starting to lose interest in developing the games. Don’t get me wrong, I love writing areas, dialogue and all that, but it takes a toll on my time and how fast I can get other projects that I want to do done.

I have a strong feeling that, if I started work on the third game without enough time to recuperate, I’d suffer severe burnout and might end up cancelling the game. To prevent this, I think it’s for the best that I take a long break from the series after the Saga’s final completion. Don’t worry, I will most likely come back and give the series a finale - and if I do, it’ll be called The YouTube Poop Havoc - but it won’t be for a year or two after the last expansion is out. Besides, I wanna try my hand in making original games, with original characters and stuff like that. If that ever happens, I’ll let y’all know, okay?

Speaking of the expansions, I’m going to do some slight changes to them. Don’t worry, the upcoming expansion (The Second One) is under development and won’t have any changes done to it. The important stuff lies with the last two, Vape Nation and Mind Warp. To quicken their release, and to wrap up any loose ends in case I never come back to the series, they will be combined into a singular one that has two acts.

How you enter the ‘superexpansion’ will also be changed. The first half will be entered normally - find the questgiver and talk to them. However, to enter Mind Warp, you’ll have to do some quests and expansions before accessing it. I haven’t decided on what, exactly, but I’ll tell you all once The Second One gets released. The superexpansion’s name is yet to be determined, so I’ll call it “The End of the Beginning of our Ends”, or “THEBES”, for now.

What do you think it should be? Put it in the comments below.

Finally, I will create one last survey for the YouTube Poop Saga soon, which covers the full game and Darkest Reaches, as well as the up-and-coming DLCs and (maybe) the original games. This is mainly to tweak the Saga and make it as enjoyable as possible.

TL;DR - Taking a long break from the Saga after the last expansion gets released. Might make original games as an experiment. Last two DLCs will be merged into one, currently named “THEBES”. Final Survey coming soon.

Quick Update 3: The Second One is about 90% done now. It's just finishing the last dungeon and bosses at this point, and then some minor tweaks I do before a release. It'll be released before Valentine's Day. Here's a pic to prove that I'm not lying!

Been a while, huh? (Why are there quests now??)
