Combined Announcement: Contraption Maker, Minigolf Blast and Sciatica
[h2]Contraption Maker[/h2]
Been working with my son on a new puzzle pack that is close to done. It'll come out sometime is September.
Work on Mighty Knights is going slow - painfully slow. I've seriously considered just releasing it as part of the full game instead of as a DLC, so everyone that has already bought Contraption Maker would get it for free, And then afterwards bumping up the price on Contraption Maker.
Changed the Steam capsule images for the game. Just as an experiment. May change back - may hire an artist to do one that gives more of the Rube Goldberg feel.
[h2]Minigolf Blast[/h2]
I have delayed the release to October. Have a design idea to make it more unique. Not sure if I want to do it or not. Certainly won't be able to get it complete by October.
So... will either not implement the new idea, implement an early first pass of the idea, or delay (again! - sigh) until February to flesh it out some more. I'm leaning towards just releasing as Early Access in the 2nd half of October.
My focus is on fun gameplay rather than amping up the graphical look.
I solved some NAT punch-through problems and online internet play against other players worked without problems. Need to push it in testing to see if we can really get up 40 people playing at the same time.
If you choose the "staging" branch in the Minigolf Blast Demo the internet play should work much better. Warning haven't test much though. Not even sure how visible the Minigolf Blast Demo page is.
[h2]Sciatica[/h2]
Not recommend. 0 out of 5 stars.
So I ended up spending the first week of July bedbound. First time I've ever had anything happen like this. Today I'm almost 100% back to normal, but for more that a week it was amazingly painful to just take a step or put any weight on my right leg.
We had this extended family get together up in the mountains. It is a cabin that my Grandparents got back in 1928. I get up there and see that our friend Trey Tosh is playing - so I think, "that spot in the dirt there looks like a good place to sit down and watch." (x marks the spot)
Well, it turned out that that spot was NOT a good place to sit down and watch. The chair was dangerously tilted and broken.
My brother-in-law crashed down on me and the pain started soon after.
I found a photo of my Mom when she was little with the same chair in the background. It is on the right and looking much more solid.
