Go ahead, get excited. I know we are :D it's been a long road to publish what we thought was going to be a simple project, but hopefully this new trailer and the amazing new version of our theme song will get some wings flapping.
Don't forget to wishlist the heck out of this baby, it helps us so much!
why did you guys drop longstory 2 so quietly? even your discord server is pretty inactive :(
Honestly we are very tired. I (the CEO Miriam) decided we would follow up the launch our game with Disney (Disney Villains Cursed Cafe), by Launching LongStory 2 and then we could use the lift from Disney Villains Cursed Cafe.
On paper it looked smart. In practice it was very dumb. The Disney Villains Launch was not a success and that had a knock on effect to our team, we ended up having to lay off a bunch of people and it has been a real struggle just to get LongStory 2 finished and out the door let alone marketed. I tried my very best to be upbeat and stay on top of things and keep the energy going around the launch but i'll be honest I am so tired and when it is a small company and the CEO is tired. There is not much gas left in the tank then.
The current plan is that I am going to take a full month off. I haven't really had a mental break in about 3 years so it is necessary. I hope when I get back I'll have some energy and a bit more spring in my step.
I have been really enjoying the response to the game so far. Some people are understandably upset that it feels shorter than the first game. It is shorter is some respects. But also there is more branching so that makes for a different experience on a playthrough.
We are all a bit surprised that people found the OPs snarky relationship with mom such a bummer. We should have tested more with players and we could have softened that up. We thought it was accurate about how relationships become a bit more rocky with our parents as we age but I guess some folks didn't have that experience :D
Anyways, give us a month, we'll be back in August and there are still many platforms to launch for LongStory 2 ;D
