2014 IS THE YEAR OF LSD: THE REMAKE

Bet that title grabbed your attention.

Yes, the remake will be released (in Alpha) in 2014, but there's a few things I need to address at this very moment. Firstly, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Now that that's out of the way, onto the less serious stuff. The project is being renamed from 'LSD: The Remake' to 'LSD: Revamped'. The reason for this change will become more apparent as the release draws near, and I make more announcements.

Onto the topic of release date. I'm not comfortable setting a solid, static release date yet, but it will definitely be in 2014. I will repeat: IT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN 2014.

I'd like to thank those of you who are still here with me. I have not been very reliable or trustworthy with my updates about LSD, and I have said numerous things and not followed through with them. Hell, this could be another one of these. But despite this, you are still here. I thank you for that, and this game is for you.

Calling the attention of all people who want to help with the remake!

STRAP IN EVERYBODY

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BLOG POST (GASP)

If you want to help in the development of the remake, and by help I mean create high quality assets for use in the remake, then please PM/email me with a sample of your work and a Skype name (I'm starting a Skype group chat with all the developers, hence the Skype name).

I need people to make music tracks, and people to help 3D model... models, along with anything else I have forgotten. Just PM/email me ([email protected]) if you think you have a set of skills which could help the remake.

Thanks!

One last thing, coders need not apply, else I won't have a job!

Quick (not so quick on retrospect) update.

What's up everyone? Still here.

Started school about 2 weeks ago (I'm now in what's called a Sixth Form, which is pretty much what you do before University (for UK people I'm in Year 12) (for you Americans out there I think I'm a Junior in high school now; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...)), and it's going pretty well so far, but it's eating into my time. If anyone's interested I'm studying Maths, Physics, I.T., and Business Studies at AS-level (then next year at A-level).

I have a few hours of free time on weekdays and almost every hour on the weekend to actually work on things. I'm not going to lie to you and say that working on the remake will take up all of my free time, because that wouldn't be true. I will work on the remake when I can. I don't really want to get burnt out again like last time.

Anyhow, the important stuff that needs to get done on the remake currently is porting the rest of the codebase (not very much) from UnityScript to C#, and I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in a previous blog post, so I won't elaborate why I need to do this. After this I'm not sure what I will do, but it'll probably be menu stuff or savedata stuff.

One more thing before I sign off, if you sent me a YouTube private message and I didn't respond; don't worry I don't hate you. YouTube doesn't notify me about things like comments and PMs, so I have no idea when I get them. I have replied to all of the PMs I noticed today (some of them were from over 3 months ago... whoops), so if you need a reliable way of contacting me you can tweet me (@Figglewatts) or email me ([email protected]), and I will be sure to respond diligently!

Also Ludum Dare 27 results are out soon (I think it coincides with the GTA V release date), so that's pretty exciting! You can view/play my entry here.

Hope everyone's had/having/going to have a nice day, I spent mine filling out job applications and doing physics homework. See you all next time!

So hi

Haven't done this in a while (sorry).

To tell the truth I have not been working on the Remake for quite a while now, and I have not been updating the blog. For that I am sorry.

I was starting to dislike working on the remake, and I got a little burnt out, as I was devoting a lot of time to it.

The Remake will happen, it will be finished at some point. At the moment I am not working on it, and will not be for quite some time, because I am currently working on another game with a group of people (can't say much more than that) and after that is finished I go onto the next stage of my education, which means I'll be out of action for at least the next 3 months or so.

I understand that after leaving all of you in the dark about this for quite some time you'll be reluctant to trust me when I say that it will be finished at some point, and that is reasonable. So I understand if you no longer trust me to finish this.

For those of you that still trust me to finish this, I thank you for your continued support, even when things seem bleak for the remake. I'm making this for you.

TL;DR: Got burnt out, stopped work, not working for another 3 months due to other commitments, sorry.

Small Update

Hello, over the past couple of days I've completely overhauled the UI of the remake, and I have also worked on serialization so that the game data can be saved.

Nothing much to show, as it's all been back-end stuff.

Regarding the Dream Chart

Right, hello!

Regarding the Dream Chart, would you prefer the "classic" dream chart (functions exactly the same as the original), or would you prefer an updated, in-depth dream chart, with a list of all areas visited and a line graph to show changes in variables (upper/downer, dynamic/static) over time?

Thanks, Figglewatts
