Hey guys!

It's been years of radio silence concerning the project Pumpkin Quest... and well, I'm glad to announce that I've made a "dent" in the work load necessary to  complete the final build. Developing PQ had it's fair share of highs and lows and well, I think it's time to sunset this project. I will attempt to complete the game with all the assets that were pre-made, but I doubt I'll spend anymore energy truly finishing this project. This journey taught me a lot about gameplay design, asset production, scope and lastly game planning. This project was a bit too ambitious for a novice hobby dev to handle, and the results kinda speak for themselves. Would I have done things different when I first started? Maybe... hindsight reigns supreme, but I wouldn't have grown if I didn't go through those trials. That said, I hope to have the final patch update ready soon... and then it's on to the next hobby project: a hybrid RPG/puzzle/farming game... share with friends and follow my itch page:   https://tantrum-games.itch.io/ for further updates on the new project.

Enjoy!

***new update***

Still finding glitches and graphical issues, among other things... more bugs are popping up in the 2nd stage boss fight, and the final stage has plenty of issues that need addressing, but that has to sit until I get stage two squared, pardon the pun. Playtesting this new build is more chore than hobby at this point but I march on. Hopefully I can have the final build ready by the October... would be fitting since this game was suppose to release over 5 years ago on Halloween.              7/23/2023

I'm glad to announce that the final boss fight mechanics have been completed and the only thing left to do is end credits screen. It's been a long journey... I'm a bit relieved that it's finally over. This game took way too long to finish, and I can't really say that I enjoyed development as it was more learning to deal with frustration more than anything... but I prevailed. After the end screen is taken care of, I'll focus on polish/playtesting before the Halloween launch. Depending on how fast I complete this task I may release the build before that date. We shall see. Who knows... may end up finding another game breaking bug, but hopefully I got the majority of the major ones.                 8/10/2023

Well, the new build is live... decided to just release it before the holidays. Enjoy guys... it's been long over due. I have window/mac/linux exe builds as well. Let me know if you guys would like to have access to the exes instead of playing the web browser version. Follow the dev process via Twitter: twitter.com/GamesTantrum 

Again, enjoy guys...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      8/20/2023
