Games! Creating "The Feast": stealth horror w/cannibal aristocrats. Previous: tech lead @Streamlit; creator @AntiheroGame; Three Rings Design/SEGA; Gamelab NYC

#PitchYaGame

"The Feast" is a horror rogue-lite sandbox. You are hunted by cannibal aristocrats at a bloody bacchanal.

Use stealth, tricks - and your enemies' grisly appetites. Rescue victims to keep fighting, because if you fall, YOU WILL BE EATEN

@Blinkity Coming out of Twitter hibernation to say: Ugh, so sorry to hear this, Alex. What a silly fate: to make something wonderful, and then see it taken away so quickly.

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@madukes_G @nemodemos @capncleaver @reallyhardy really appreciate the enthusiasm! prototyping The Feast has been long and challenging, but the light at the end of the preproduction tunnel is in sight. excited to share more about it soon

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@volodXYZ Thanks! Yes, we are a very small team, but working on it full time. Planning to have more to share sometime early next year

@BeRad_Ent Congrats on the launch, dude! Just grabbed my copy!

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@mathildepignol Mathilde, this looks nuts! Those visuals!

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@kleptine I’m really loving these deep posts, John

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@kleptine Whoa, this is very cool stuff!

I've long been envious of SomaSim: a teensy indie studio making hugely complex games, never repeating themselves, and SHIPPING A NEW GAME EVERY 2 YEARS. These boys know what they're doing!

Hello again.
We announced a thing we've been working hard on for several years, and it feels very nice.

If you want to tell a friend or give it a wishlist, that'd be lovely. Thanks!
Goodbye again.

@LegalGamerUK During that 2-6 months without a signed deal, is the dev generally locked into an exclusive agreement with that pub, or can they continue pitching elsewhere and increase leverage (or find a pub that doesn’t drag out the process)?

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@TafferKing451 @PATALOON Did you consider/try a visual scripting approach to Gloomwood’s behavior trees, or were they always built in code?

(I’m slightly regretting going the visual route on a project because the generated assets are hard to review/diff/refactor/etc)

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@KennyYSun - I got Mr. Sun's Hatbox last night and it is fantastic! Congratulations on releasing such a weird + ambitious + funny game

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@kleptine @JibbSmart How do you handle frame timings? Do you record each Update's timedelta? (Or do you do everything in FixedUpdate?)

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@sarah_northway Congratulations - insta-purchased, can't wait to play

[Tim Conkling @timconkling]

@kleptine Congrats! This looks quite lovely, and the launch trailer is *fantastic*!

@samskivert This was a hugely enjoyable rant but dear god just stick the Firebase DLLs in git-lfs and take back your sanity!
