Fringe Planet - a survival simulator game inspired by Dwarf Fortress & Rimworld

[beebug_nic]

Ah, yes, I think maybe I set too short a deadline for the competition, may ponder extending the deadline and just doing a year in retrospect, then a competition blog post. But thanks so much for trying - super appreciated :-)

And thanks about the model makeover comment - it's something I was very aware of my lack of skills with in the beginning - but am super happy with my progress with it :-) Still a long way to go though :-)

[Jubal]

Yeah, it depends what you're after - I can probably produce something small for Thursday, but I'd rather have longer and be able to make something actually good!

[beebug_nic]

Hehe, small would be good at this point, though still debating extending the deadline - first time of doing something like this and worried no one will enter :-)

[beebug_nic]

I've had a couple of other folks say the deadline is way too tight - so I've extended the deadline - if you are going to do something for this (with the chance of grabbing a t-shirt and/or a peon name key) - you have till the 4th July now :-)

[Jubal]

Ooh, excellent Will definitely try and get something done, then!

[beebug_nic]

Just a friendly reminder :-) Deadline for this is tomorrow :-D

[Jubal]

Sorry, I entirely failed on this, big conference and I didn't get my thing completed in time I'll try and finish it some other time maybe but it feels a bit less point-ful now.

[beebug_nic]

No worries at all :-) Thanks for giving it a go though :-) The conference looked really interesting btw :-)

[Jubal]

It was good, thankyou!

Did you get many entries in the end?

[beebug_nic]

Alas very few - more my poor planning on that part alas. Huge things have been happening though :-) The Kickstarter is shaping up beautifully, really happy and can't wait to share it with you all. Also, even more excitingly, Fringe Planet is now on Steam. I've gotta say I have been geeking out a lot about this - searching for the game and then giggling like an idiot when it actually pops up. IF you fancy giving it a wishlist, I'd be hugely happy :-) You can find it here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1128950/Fringe_Planet/

There has also been a huge artstyle change with the peon facial textures. I think it makes a huge difference :-) Let me know what you think :-)

[Jubal]

Ooh, yes, I really like the new facial textures - makes the game feel much more like its own unique thing and style

[beebug_nic]

Thanks :-) I couldn't agree more - it's really changed the feel (for the better!)

[Tusky]

Yeah the new face textures are really cool. Added to wishlist on steam!

Look forward to the Kickstarter kicking off

[beebug_nic]

Thanks for the wishlist! With the Steam algo everyone really does make a huge difference.

And :

(trumpets blaring)

The Kickstarter is now live :-) I'd like to thank all your folks for the support, both here and on twitter. It's been nice to have multiple sources of input from everyone :-) You can check it out here :

I'll probably be relatively quiet for the next few days, there is a lot to do! But once again, thank you for the support :-)

[Jubal]

Good luck!
