addedWonder how many of you are left to read this? I’ve been gone for just over 2 months! Holy shit, that went fast. I’m here to give a quick explanation of where I’ve been and what’s next. :) Unfortunately, I have no exciting story as to where I’ve been. I wasn’t kidnapped by MI5, neither have I been traveling the world seeing magnificent things; I was finishing my degree! In the last 4 months Uni picked up and my updates were becoming less and less. I didn’t want to come back each week with nothing so just decided to step away and get the degree finished. Good news is, I’m done! As of Friday just gone I am finished with Uni, and as of today, Monday 15th, I go straight to full-time work at a game studio called Red Kite Games*. :) Exciting times. My new schedule also allows me to return to the game, albeit with changes which we’ll talk about next. I have missed working on Samphi! *Everything I post here regarding Samphi is my own work and my own opinion, not that of my employer. <- Just in-case I say/do something stupid. :D Up until now, I’ve tried present myself as a studio; Always using the name Greeny Games Studio and being kind of formal with that stuff. Ensuring there is an update EVERY week or two regardless of the quality of whether one was needed etc. I want that to change. It’s just me, Dale, making this game, and it’s a personal labor of love, so I want that to be portrayed. Keeping strict deadlines with things is great, but makes it feel like a chore. I want it to be fun and spontaneous again, not putting out updates for the sake of it so it looks good that there’s a full update history. The amount of work I do isn’t going to change, and the amount I show you guys won’t change overall, but the approach will. It’ll be more relaxed and natural; The same sentiment I want to take with Greeny Games overall. I’m working on a new website and am raring to get back to work. :) I’m going to ditch this part of the update as I think it’s part of the problem. The truth is, the best part of development on Samphi is being able to work on anything at any time. I’m not a big company with set deadlines and goals, it’s just me as I say. I’ll work on what takes my fancy then can come show you guys and It’ll be a surprise!! :D Saying, I’ll have X and Y done for this date just isn’t working out when it’s a hobby project. I think I lost sight of that. Make no mistake Samphi is just a hobby. I’m so incredibly grateful for all you who have supported the game so far, you rock, and I want to give you the best game possible. For that to happen it needs to go back to being a fun hobby and not taken too seriously. Thank you very much for reading, and I look forward to cracking on with multiplayer. (Which at this rate will be released after half-life 3. :D) See you on the next one! As always you can show your support and keep up to date with development by following me here: Visit my websites ▶ Greeny Games Website ▶ Samphi Website
