Hi there Fallers! So remember back in January when I said I could see the game being done in the next 3-4 months? Well, that was barring A Whole Lot Of Real Life Happening™ which it unfortunately did, as it tends to do. It’s lame and I’m disappointed too, but I’m sure as you long-time followers of the game’s development know by now delays are nothing new and neither are they the end of the world. It just means I may have to release the full game closer to, or possibly even on, June 18th (6/18), or July 24th, the same day as the Gravity Falls complete series box set and Lost Legends graphic novel! In any case, Summer 2018 is the new general estimate for the full release.

As you can see from the progress breakdown graphic above, the first half of the game is pretty much finished while various parts of the second half are being worked on simultaneously. Because of wanting to release a demo version I made the first half almost entirely in a linear fashion; I’m jumping around a lot more in the second half since it gets a little boring for me working on the exact same sections for long periods of time. Since everything can be worked on out of order this is also why it’s great to have some helpers!

Speaking of which, I’m still looking for anyone willing and able to help with creating maps for the game! Photoshop/image editing software experience is NOT REQUIRED but definitely helps, since I’ll be asking you to work in Photoshop! If you don’t have a copy of Photoshop, one will be provided for you, so even if you’ve never used it but are willing to learn then you’re more than eligible! Please join the official Discord server and contact me there for the details if you’re interested!

As always, thank you for following the development of PinesQuest 2D! Stay weird, Fallers!
