Weekly Update #506: Quick Progress Update & Mystery Gamedev Website

Last week, I talked a bit more about the connection between SHINRAI – Broken Beyond Despair and GENBA no Kizuna and how, even though there is a chronological order to them, you can really play them in any order you wish. So, if you want to learn a bit more about that, be sure to check out the respective post linked above!

As for today, I’m just gonna leave you with another quick update, as I’m once again incredibly busy. My work on the credits, extras and bad ends for GENBA continues and I really wanna try to wrap it up soon, so that we can finally hand the game over to beta-testers. The biggest hurdle right now is overcoming my perfectionism, since I wanna keep tweaking various things a bit more… “orz

Anyway, I’m aiming to finally have the bad ends fully done by tomorrow evening, so maybe that might be a topic to delve into a bit more next week. But for now, I’ll just get back to work! Well, almost… I want to highlight something as you could already tell from the title: the newly updated website for our Mystery Gamedev Community! It’s still a work in progress, but now features a database containing mystery games (nearly 200) which you can search for by various means (keywords, release dates, demos etc.).

As of right now, only games available on Steam can be discovered, but itch games will eventually be added as well!

So, if you’re itching to delve into some mystery games, do check it out! And if you want to discuss said mystery games or learn more about how to make your own or even partake in a mystery game jam, head on over to the Mystery Gamedev Discord which is close to reaching the 300 member mark, so yeah… it’s grown quite a bit since it was established last year!

Now, with all that said, please enjoy the rest of your weekend and, until next Saturday, take care :3
