What's next for A Simple Ball Game? - Post Next Fest
[p]First off, a big THANK YOU from me to everyone who played, wishlisted, and wrote a review for A Simple Ball Game. ❤️❤️❤️ It is especially exciting for me to read your thoughts. 🙏 Overall, next fest was awesome and I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on the full release![/p][p][/p][h2]Release Date[/h2][p][/p][p]While I don't have a specific date yet (hopefully soon!), A Simple Ball Game is planned to release during Q3 2025, meaning September at the latest. There are still some development tasks that need ironing out including one really cool addition I hope I can talk about soon![/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][h2]What to do Before Release[/h2][p][/p][p]For the current Demo, I revamped many aspects of the game including the visual style, many stages, controls, optimizations, and customizations. And well, there's still more of that to do. 😅[/p][p][/p][p]Some more specific examples what what I'll be focusing on next:[/p]
- [p]Increasing the total stage count from 75 to 80.[/p]
- [p]Reworking around 30 stages based on your feedback and my own learnings (there won't be any significant changes to the Demo stages).[/p]
- [p]Adjusting the appearance of some of the background vistas (again, I won't be changing much about the vistas present in the Demo).[/p]
- [p]Improving the controls and gameplay feel even more.[/p]
- [p]Optimizing the frame rate, lighting, and a bunch of other things so the game runs as smoothly as it possibly can.[/p]
- [p]Fixing bugs.[/p]
