The (somewhat near) future of GB Rober

Hi everyone! I just wanted to do short post to inform you about my current plans with GB Rober and where those currently are.

addedSo last year when the game came out, I wanted to add at least one larger bonus area to the game (that's what the trinkets you can pick up were meant to unlock), however so far I haven't really had the space, nor the money (I wanted to commission a composer for the leveltrack) to actually get around to working on it. Most of my time so far has been eaten up by my work on my next game Virtue's Heaven and I haven't really had the capacity to do anything else.
changedTo make things worse, one of the plugins I want to use for Virtue's Heaven, required me to update my version of Game Maker Studio 2 and apparently the way the engine handles Steamworks implementation has changed in the meantime.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to do short post to inform you about my current plans with GB Rober and where those currently are.

So last year when the game came out, I wanted to add at least one larger bonus area to the game (that's what the trinkets you can pick up were meant to unlock), however so far I haven't really had the space, nor the money (I wanted to commission a composer for the leveltrack) to actually get around to working on it. Most of my time so far has been eaten up by my work on my next game Virtue's Heaven and I haven't really had the capacity to do anything else.

To make things worse, one of the plugins I want to use for Virtue's Heaven, required me to update my version of Game Maker Studio 2 and apparently the way the engine handles Steamworks implementation has changed in the meantime.

That means any kind of content update for GB Rober either would require me to install an older version of Game Maker, or I would have to completely re-do the existing Steamworks integration, or else stuff like Achievements would just stop working.

So there's an additional layer of difficulty here that I need to work past to even think about updating the actual game, which I still want to do!

Anyway, I hope that I have a bit more time to work on a smaller update for GB Rober in October, but that very much depends on how the next few weeks will go.

Thanks again for your support and your patience and I hope I have something cool for you all soon!
