Where is TSFACP at the moment? [04.08.2023]


Hello there! Just wanted to give you all an update since I do realize that it has been quite a long while since the last one. I did say that the last one was gonna be my last devlog but since it has been this long I decided that it's better to just give an update. :)

So right off the bat, the game is doing very well! I am actually in the bugtesting phase of the game as of this moment. It's not actually that far off from release. My estimate would be somewhere between a month or two months. Do remember though that my estimates have never been correct before so maybe they're not correct this time either.

That is the thing though, since the game is in the bugtesting phase then it means that I know that it won't be too long until the game feels like a finished product. Heck it already kinda does! I am finished with all the endings, the extras menus, the boss. I've even returned to some of the very buggy bosses I created before and fixed a lot of them. I seem to have gotten a lot better at game development than I was when I first created these bosses since by just rewriting the code a bit I was able to make everything work easy peasy!

So now the question is, what's remaining? Well, I got a whole list of things that I have written down (either bugs or just features that I want to add) that I am going to work on. Having this bulletpoint list allows me to work extremely efficiently actually. I do recommend a bulletpoint list if you're struggling with finding things to do in your game (or just life in general) because it makes sorting through tasks and checking them off that much better.

The list is about a page long at this point, so yes, it's a damn big list. But I am pummeling through it and checking off the boxes as I go (which is very satisfying by the way). In the current pace I am in I am assuming I'm finished in a month.

Anyways, the people I have bugtesting the game have gotten the game, I am obviously playing the game constantly to the point where I am getting kinda tired of it. But you know, it's all in the name of not releasing a broken game. ;)

Hope you're as excited as me, I am looking forward to finally getting a closure on this game that has taken 4 years to complete.

A few of you may remember a post long ago about me having to cut out the 3 savestate system, and me being bummed about it. https://gamejolt.com/p/devlog-26-03-2020-76czjxp3

TSFACP Devlog (nearing the end!) [24.02.2023]

Finally revamped the atrocious options menu that TSFACP had. Before the keybinds were locked away in another screen and you had to click the "in-game controls" text to access it, now everything is on the same screen and it's just generally way smoother!

The official cover art of the game is now finished! I hope you all liked it, it actually took a bit of time to make believe it or not. I still like how it turned out. :)

I'm about halfway through stage 6, which will be so massive that I had to have a savepoint in the middle. :P

Just got finished with the miniboss for stage 6! Not gonna reveal what this miniboss is though, you gotta see for yourself... ;)

Still working hard on the game, despite university! :)

We at @Nithriotto_Games have made a game together! It's called "The killer who may or may not be a moron." and it's- hmm.. sorry, it's just..this is a very emotional and important moment for me. It's just that this game is...it means so much you know?
