YES, MY HELPERS IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT (+ answers to other questions)

I've been getting some questions about this lately (both here and via the support email) so let's cut to the chase: Yes, My Helpers is still in development (and going really well)! I know I'm not as vocal around here as some of you would like, but since I'm developing the game 100% solo, it's hard to juggle development tasks with making posts like this.

Anyway, since I'm already here, I'll take the opportunity to answer a few other questions I've been getting frequently!

Q: When is the game coming out?

A: Everything points to late this year. The game can already be played from start to finish, so the current tasks are mostly just balancing and polishing.

Q: Will My Helpers support [INSERT YOUR LANGUAGE HERE]?

A: I would really love to support multiple languages! The thing is, good localizations are quite expensive, and since I'm developing My Helpers on my own, it's the kind of expense I unfortunately can't cover right now (the only reason it currently has both English and Portuguese localization is that those are the only languages I can translate myself). Either way, if the game gives a sustainable return and I notice a significant demand for specific languages, I will definitely reinvest the earnings into that!

Q: Are you going to add more content to the demo (or release a new one)?

A: No. To be honest, demos are a better fit for games focused on high replayability (like roguelikes) and not linear experiences like My Helpers. Regardless, since it's a very different game from what's currently on the market, I thought it would be best to have a demo so you can try it for free and see if it's really your cup of tea (the last thing I want is for someone to buy a copy and only then realize it wasn't what they were expecting). The current demo already serves that purpose, so all my focus right now is on developing the final version!

Q: Will you support [INSERT YOUR OS HERE]?

A: At the moment, just Windows. Many of My Helpers' mechanics require implementations that are specific to the operating system being used, so each one would require distinct implementations. Even so, I'm not ruling out porting to other operating systems in the future if there is demand and I have enough budget.

Q: Who is your favorite Helper?

A: 👀.

That's it for now. I'll be back with more updates for you very soon!
