Re: GoldGun Episode 1 finally released on app stores!
:
To that end, if perhaps they had contributed or had more time to edit the script, I'm sure something similar to what you were saying would've been in the script. Fact is, correct me if I"m wrong, but if you have investors to satisfy, aren't you then tied to a hard deadline - if you say the game is going to be out by the 31, then it needs to be on or around the 31st no questions asked?
Either way, they had said they would have removed that stuff from future episodes.
Hi Jack
No. We don't have investors to satisfy. We just need to satisfy our future clients.
I wish we would have investors behind, so I could pay a proper salary to the team. What I meant the other day was, that if we get 10000 downloads, we would be able to prove that there is a potential market, because that's is why the have asked from us. To believe and invest on us they demand a proof. At the end, all the blind community will benefit from that. If we can not prove them that there is a business potential, then we are still far, or at least we will move slow, until the time when have moved from amateur to a pro team.
For this GoldGun, we had a legal binding though with the funding instrument that gave us money to make the first pilot (AVEK). We had to stick to what we have told them that we would do on the funding application, and I take full responsibility of what there was written. And in that first script version there was Soren, who was the blind policeman in charge to play the GoldGun only by listening to the game audio, because the police department was only able to hack the audio and not the visual.
Even thought some betatesters said they didn't like the dialogue, there was not much we could do, because we could not brake our contract with AVEK, and then because I needed to move forward and not get stuck on the first episode but to move to the next one and make it better.
All this being said, I would say at this point: I will not be able to answer those chats anymore to talk about the same issue of the blindness in the game. We made an error, and we will not do it anymore. Period.
Now I need to move forward; Analyze the feedback, present it to the team, study our next script which is kind of ready, design with Maksim the new minigames, supervise the work related to the audio quality of the game, look for money to pay the next salaries, get a proper office for the guys, write a couple of applications, and on top of that, the 8 hours a day that I work at the University. So kind of busy. And now my son asks me to go to play in the snow, so I'm out. I think I might not comment anything about GoldGun episode 1 anymore. I've said all what I have to say, and then I need to look forward and not back.
Best regards to all
have a long life
enjoy the games you think are cool
please don't hate the ones you didn't like
pineapple in pizza is okay
but you don't need to order it if you dislike tha' fruit
sincerely
