Strap in, Fallers, ‘cause we’ve got a lot to talk about! First things first, how’s the progress of the game looking?

Currently, the full version is about 45% playable. This means that yes, unfortunately, I’ve only been about to make about 5% progress since the extended demo was released on June 18th. Originally I’d hoped to be at around 60% or more by this point. This has been largely due to issues in my personal life beyond my control that have prevented me not from working on the game (as I’ve still been able to fix bugs and patch the demo when necessary), just from making large amounts of progress on it. Sadly I can’t say for certain whether or not these issues will continue to impede progress within the next couple of months, however…

This is NOT the biggest problem currently facing PQ2D! Right now the game’s biggest problem is still THE LACK OF CONSISTENT CONTRIBUTORS! Basically, I really need more people not only to help with the game, but people to help with the game who are also able to regularly stay in contact with me!

RIGHT NOW, PINESQUEST 2D NEEDS:

• Pixel artists of professional quality capable of creating dungeon environments in the PinesQuest style

• Illustrators of professional quality with solid understanding of the Gravity Falls style and the ability to draw in it

In order to more easily find more contributors, I’ve set up an official Gravity Falls: PinesQuest 2D Contributor Application form. If you’re a pixel artist or illustrator who meets the above requirements AND is regularly available to check in with reports on your progress on AT LEAST a weekly basis, please consider applying as a contributor! Your help would be absolutely invaluable!!

So this raises the question: Will the full version of PQ2D still be finished by the end of 2017? Honestly, at this point that probably depends on my contributors. With the right people on board I think it’s absolutely possible, but as much as I wish I could, I can’t finish this game alone. I need YOUR HELP!

Stay tuned for more progress reports as my goal is to get Dungeon 6 (out of 11), which will be bring the full game up to 50% complete, by the end of this month! Thank you so much for following the development of PinesQuest 2D, and as always, stay weird, my fellow Fallers!
