What a week! 

The 30 second trailer will most likely be shown at the Playdate Community Direct on 5 October! How wonderful!

I will therefore once again put together a small demo and replace the alpha version against it.

A lot has happened. So I can now present all 3 main areas once in the demo. I think that's a good thing, in case someone notices Ausbruch in the trailer show.

I have implemented the room connections by means of a level matrix and can actually freely determine which room appears behind which door. 

At the moment I am transferring the already existing level designs of the main level into code and making them playable.

But last week I was hard distracted and sat in front of the Unity thing with a big bag of popcorn ;-)

I've also made a few games with it. Too bad, too bad - my trust is gone. To make a long story short.

But as I always say! New shores are a dime a dozen!

For example, the Playdate community :-)

In fact, I've received more feedback on an unfinished game in the last 80 days than on all my other published games (10 and more) in the last 10 years.  I really thought I could reach like-minded people with games for smartphones and tablets. But I did not manage to do that.

A cesspit, that's all I'm saying.

Ok, i'll start complaining... there's no reason for that at all :-) Day jobs are fortunately picking up again... so now I have to reach into the bag of tricks to get Ausbruch up and running by the end of October.

I have started to open my little window into my research journey again. Perhaps regularly again, I run OBS and stream my awkward development processes live on twitch. Only at night and only in German, but there's something to watch.

The thing is... towards the end of a project, when everything is actually clear... it can be difficult to achieve the goals you have set yourself. Content, content, content... Diligence, diligence, diligence... Making the grind public has often helped me not to slacken :-)

Not to mention the general world situation! The way is the goal - who else do I have to tell?

I hope I can give something back and make this strange existence a little more bearable.

With all love

Your Matthias
