This project is a long time coming. Thank you for taking the time to check it out.
An early version of this project was released for the A Game By Its Cover 2021 jam so here we are after nearly three years of baby dev head smashing and research: from experimental sandbox to actual game.
In December 2023, I revived Laughingstock Apocalypse in Godot 3.5 after a solid year of R&D outside of work in the engine. However, its roots go even further back to a short story I wrote in my second-to-last year of high school called The Bovine Comedy. That was just over a decade ago so it makes me very proud to have something completely different to show for a story I couldn’t let go of.
I’m in this project for the long haul so maybe I’ll even share the story one day.
Again, thank you. Time is the most precious variable we have so thanks for choosing Laughingstock Apocalypse as your temporary “escape from this world”.
SPECIAL DEMO NOTE:
“Join Me In Death” by HIM and “Jupiter” by Buck Tick will be present as a gag in the demo version of this game ONLY. Payments are off for this game because of this and the songs will be removed in the next update.
