Next steps for TENDING!

Tending: A Game of Devotion
A downloadable game

Hi everyone, and happy Equinox! It actually feels like spring in London, which is a treat. I've had a break and come back READY to (continue to) MAKE THIS GAME. So as promised, a rough timeline of what's next for Tending. 

Please take this with the knowledge that this is my first attempt and publishing a thing at this kind of scale, and I'm working around a day job and my health, so I've tried to give myself a fair bit of space to do it in. 'Summer 2022' was always the general aim for completing this project, and with this I should be on track! Here's the plan:

  • Mid-April: I finish a draft of the complete game and do some playtesting.
  • Mid-May: Writing and art complete.
  • End of May: Final zine content proofed and edited.
  • Mid-June: Layout finalised and proofed, fulfilment emails sent out.
  • Early July: Printing and distribution organised, collage packs assembled.
  • End of July: Digital game published and physical copies mailed out.

That means that you should get your PDFs at the end of July and, depending on where you live, physical copies sometime in August. If any of these estimates change I'll update here as soon as I can. The next few updates should be fun ones though, with some bits of art/writing progress to share :)

Thank you as ever for supporting and following my game as I make it!
