The floods are gone woohoo, everything is fixed and new carpets go down next Friday. To celebrate this, I went and bought a remote controlled lamp for the living room,
I can, today, officially confirm that idle hands really do make light work!
In other news, my January blues did not last until the end of January, and I have been busy working.
I have decided that there will be NO update to Teacher's Pet. I just don't see the point, it has had over 44.000 downloads, the mistakes are well documented and, as may have seemed obvious to some of you when it was released, I just want to move on.
I want to learn from my mistakes, going back now and cleaning them up would teach me nothing, I would gain no more insight at all, so it can keep it's bug and I know better in the future.
Don't get me wrong, the whole cast of TP still has a story to tell, and they will all be told, just in a slightly different way.
I love the new game already, the programming is so much easier, everything has a place and, it already has it's own cover, It is fucking awesome, would you like to see it?
As with TP I am at this point a little loath to talk about the game. I don't want to big it up, only to find it falls by the wayside, although, honestly, I cannot see that happening, it's just to good an idea to waste, so here's a little something at least.
I was sitting watching a program on TV called 'It was alright in the 70s' and thinking about how I could tell everyone's story in one game. meanwhile, on the TV, they started talking about an old kids show called 'Mr Benn.' The story goes, that every time he walks into his local costume shop, he tries something on and then steps through a curtain and hey presto, he takes on the roll of that costume.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, I dunno who this Mr Benn is, but if he wasn't animated I would go and find him and shake the old bastards hand right off.
You are Sally Pepper, your uncle Ben just died and left to you his shop, it's an old second hand shop called 'Old and Worn' (Copyright me 2016 lol).
Your uncle did not own a rice company and your father was neither a doctor nor did he have a 'Lonely Hearts Club Band' (Younger viewers Google the Beatles, although if you did not know this already, you need to slap yourself.)
Anyway, sometimes people leave things behind, clothing mainly, usually they just want rid because they hold bad memories, all you have to do is figure out which ones and go back, as them, and stop the bad before it's done.
That's all I'm saying!!
I'll tell ya what I'll do with ya! If TEN people leave a comment below simply saying 'show me' I will release the cover. I personally think you should leave the comment, the cover truly is awesome, well I think it is anyway.
Look after one another.

Glad to hear you have everything sorted after the flooding, just wanted to say I really enjoyed TP and am quite looking forward to the next game based on what you have said so far.

Hey Doc! Glad to hear the blues have left and made way for the future. Here's to it being even better than the last game! (and maybe not instilling fear into those handful of folks at the lagoon who thought the photo meant the story was taking animal lovers to another level XD )
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
LMAO In fairness, I can see how they came to that conclusion, this one is much more straight forward.

ReplyDeleteNo, no the game will include all of the characters from the first TP game, it will tell everyone's story, just in a slightly different way than originally planned, and it will include a a new member of the cast called Sally Pepper.
