#Jelly party panic update
Prepare an update for Party Panic, with all the "quality of life" fixes and improvements I've made over the last few months. Here's a breakdown of the roadmap as I see it, as I work towards the release of Party Panic. So all in all, there's some really unfortunate timing that I wasn't aware about that means I can't/shouldn't release Party Panic June 1st, when I had hoped.Īfter thinking about this problem for all of last week, I think I've come up with a solution I'm happy (mostly) with, and hopefully you guys will be happy with as well. This is unacceptable.Ģ) There is the option to release a few days before the Summer Sale, but this seems like suicide for Party Panic's visibility, as Party Panic would get completely lost in the chaos, and can in no way complete with last years AAA GOTY on sale for 90% off or whatever other crazy deals there will be. Which means unless I do something there will have been no updates to Party Panic for 6 months. If I want to release Party Panic AND be included in the Summer Sale Party Panic needs to be released 37 days BEFORE the Summer Sale, or 30 days after.ģ7 days before would mean that I would need to release the in less than 14 days, which is absolutely impossible as that's not enough time to get release promo/marketing ready, and finalize the remaining things in the game.ģ0 days after the the Summer Sale brings us to the end of July. There are some complications with releasing Party Panic any time in June for a few reasons.ġ) Developers must wait 30 days between sale/discounts. Last year the Summer Sale was the last week in June, and went until the first week of July. I was right on track to meet that date, but as I was nailing down the details there was an issue that I (somehow) overlooked.Įveryone knows that every Summer Steam has a huge sale, and we're quickly coming up to this sale. May was set to be the "Pre-Release planning" month for Party Panic, where I would nail down dates, get in contact with marketing/promotional people and prepare for a big launch June 1st the best I can.

This new game mode is very close to being done. This is because I shifted gears to work on a new game mode for Party Panic that got bigger and bigger as I worked on it, but in that process of creating something that (I think) is really cool, I kind of neglected the rest of the game.
#Jelly party panic full
It's hard work and some days it feels like there's a lot of weight on my shoulders to deliver, but I have some big things prepared for the full Release, and the time leading up to it.Ĭurrently, the live version of Party Panic is from Feb 11th, nearly 3 months have gone by without any updates to main version. I want to make Party Panic the best game I possibly can, and I'm still working as hard as I can.

Feel free to post suggestions in this thread, or ideas for the board game mode!įor the sake of transparency, I want to explain what's going on with Party Panic and the plan for moving forward out of Early Access and into Release.
