so, it has been half a year already... somehow
this still feels like a practical joke gone way out of control.
today is also the 17th anniversary of the world's hardest game 1!
the original 4 person cinemamakers team consisted out of funkin in worlds hardest game developers but the timing was purely accidental
anyways, since it's a double anniversary, i think it's only fair that we show something we have been working on:
we have been making quite a lot of progress on the mod recently. it's not coming out any time soon, probably not even next year, but i think it is safe to say we are getting there.
yea, it's true
we are working on tween 3, and we have been doing some pretty good progress.
i really wish i could give you the release date, but truth is that tweenly has a small little issue. let's just call it "the deadline issue".
so, let's go over a practical example of what happened during tween 2's development:
the deadline to ship tween 2 was about 2-3 weeks from when tween 1 released. but nobody was really doing anything.
as the deadline kept getting closer i understood that "man, we are gonna have literally fucking nothing", so i pushed it back.
this didn't solve the issue.
now, im not a psychiatrist or whatever but when it comes to deadlines you can definitely can understand the correlation between how close it is and how much you want to work. here i wasnt striking a balance whatsoever. the deadline is pushed, people have more time to procrastinate, and so they do, and this is just a perpetual cycle which only ended with a hard, HARD deadline of october 31st.
it is definitely kind of shameful at this point. we are barely halfway through tween 3 while weekly pretty much ended in the time we are taking here. but in our defense - we are quite a small team. we only have 12 people, and those 12 people all have different projects of their own.
as much as i wish they did their part - i really just cant do anything about it. i will have to do some thinking of how to solve this, but yea, for now - there is that. sorry lol.
v3^2 is sort of in development?
i have spent some of the morning today fixing a bunch of shit that came with a rewrite on a different engine. we still arent dont rewriting it, and there hasnt been much new content either.
we are likely to start working more actively on v3 when we inevitably get burnt out from working on fiwhg/tweenly.
i know this is probably not what all 4 v3 fans want to hear - but it's just the truth. we havent touched v3 in months.
thanks for coming to my cinematalk!
