Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to further develop The Untitleds beyond its current Demo Version for the RETURNERS 2022 Game Jam. I've had to prioritize certain things, notably the business and work, to offset what migrating to twilights and tax hikes did to my wages. And dealing with some personal stuff as well.
Development absolutely will continue after the game jam (when things should start settling down again).
I plan on completely overhauling the system in place - especially the phone menu - to streamline it and make sure it's working as it should. And iron out all the bugs, some of which are probably still present in the Demo Version. Although I made a concerted effort to make sure there were none before submission, I might have missed some!
The Untitleds will also eventually use custom models (no defaults), so I will spend a considerable amount of time after the game jam creating them for purpose.
I'm really not interested in ratings, reviews or the prize, but feedback is welcome. Consider this as a proof-of-concept demo only, a sample of the game, and a taster of where I'm going with it - especially since I've disappointedly been unable to complete it for the game jam. And, unlike previous game jam submissions or previous games now abandoned, The Untitleds somehow just "feels right". That's ultimately why I'm more eager to continue its development after the deadline.
