AG here.
I feel like I owe you an apology for my lack of content lately, so sorry for that.
It has been some months since my last post. I've been pretty disconnected from Gamejolt, only entering to learn about big fangame announcements or controversies (like what happened with JOLLY 4).
That aside, this is the fourth status update for my game "B.O.X: Gifted", and I have some good things to say.
1. My current status:
First of all, I want to brifely talk about the current status of my life. Very brief, I want to talk about the game more honestly.
In the last status update, I talked about having various exams in January (also in February, but I didn't mention it), having a total of 6 very hard and long exams.
I'm glad to say that all my efforts these last months were worth it, as I've passed most of them. Those exams were a big weight on me and now I'm light as a feather. So that's pretty good :)
2. Game is almost finished:
Secondly, as the title says, I'm almost finished with the game.
From time to time, I've been able to advance on the game, having written a list of all the things I have to complete and only having 7 things on it.
Extras.
Custom Hour (hazards, max AI, misc).
End scene of the main story.
Jumpscares + Death graphics (only Custom Hour ones).
Sound design (various sounds I have to implement).
Polish + Trophies.
Testing.
So, about point 7 of the list. In a month or so, once I have the game finished, I'll probably ask help for some of you to test the game, as I think it would be faster than doing it all by myself. Maybe not if I see that the game is bugless, as I'm very perfectionist and dislike laving bugs for later once I see one.
I'm happy that I'm finishing this game, as I will be able to do other projects that I'm excited for. Speaking of...
3. Future projects:
Finally, I want to talk about my future projects. I draw and write every idea I have on paper, so I have a lot of projects I want to make.
I know that I've said that I want to separate myself from the FNaF community to do original games, and I still want to. However, I have some fangame ideas that I would like to create to practice with Unreal Engine first. So "B.O.X: Gifted" won't probably be my last FNaF fangame.
For not fangame projects, if I see future on them, I will publish them on Gamejolt, Itchio and Steam. I have various 1-player projects that I like and one or two co-op games that I would like to create as well, as me and my friends have been lately obsessed with Lethal Company, R.E.P.O, etc...
Probably very hard for me at this stage, but I want to make at least one in my life.
4. Status Update Nº5:
This will be the next update, probably named "Testers needed" if I need testers, announcing the need of testers for the game and contacting some of you for help. In this scenario, a Status Update Nº6 - "Game finished" will be published after the testing is completed.
If I don't need testers, update number 5 will be the one called "Game finished", where I'll announce that the game is finished and when I'll publish it.
That's actually all I wanted to say. Thanks to all the people that have been lately following my games, since I've seen some of you follow "F**ing Candy's: Time Travel Debauchery". I would appreciate if just 2 more people follow it, since we are almost at 200 followers there.
Obviously, I'd like for you to follow "B.O.X: Gifted" as well, as it is my current biggest project yet. It would motivate me to finish it quicker.
Now that the marketing is done, thanks to all the people that have read to this point and all of my account and games followers for the support and moral you give me.
That is all, for today. Sorry and thank you again for everything. Stay tuned for the next status update if you are intereseted.
Se yall and have a nice day.
Aaron Gordon
PD: Small teaser for the game as well :)
