It's been a bit since I posted here, so I thought I would go ahead and fix that . If you are a fan of Project Zomboid like me then you will be happy to read that It looks like we are getting a stable build 42 this year, that's great news! Apparently it is a big update coming in the said "build 42 candidate," but they won't be revealing anything until it is complete. So, I'm excited to see what they bring before releasing build 42 to the public. It's been a bit since I played Zomboid, so I cannot wait to dive back in with some new stuff to look forward to when I return to streaming and creating content after the summer break. 

     In other news, I have halted game development on my Monster game. I was going to keep this quiet, but I figured it would be rude to keep the thought of progress of a game that is halted in development. That is the bad news though, now it's time for the good news.. I have moved back to the plan I had prior to the monster game and that is the development of a game called "Hook and Shoot Shop Simulator." This game will use a lot of the code I used in the farming game I was previously working on prior to the Monster game. It's something I probably should of done before getting started on the Monster game, but it's okay I'll be returning to the Monster game in time. This game will be of smaller scale of the farming game and will also be a different theme as you may have guessed from reading the title of the game.

     With the above said, I will not be going into detail of what the game will be at this time due to it not being ready for a full blown announcement just yet. I have been designing this game in the background and it has reached its concept in its entirety. I have been doing a lot of scene work recently and plan to continue until summer break is over and my kid returns to school. Then I'll be returning to the script side of things to get things working. There is a lot of work to be done, but since it is a smaller scale game, it won't take nearly as much time as the Monster game would of, which is the largest reason of my change in development. It's something that could generate some income when I return to that game. The game has taken some drastic changes in design to increase its fun factor, but by doing that it has made the development time increase way too much and it could take 4 - 5 years to complete by myself. If enough funds are generated with my first game, then I will probably hire an additional programmer to make it progress faster.

     I will give you more updates on the game I'm working on as it gets developed on Discord, so you can read more about it there if you wish to do so. I'll be taking it public when the time is right, so you will start seeing updates here and possibly in content across all platforms on my channel (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and maybe even Twitch *links provided above.*) The game will have a lot of the depth that was going into the farming game and will be expanded even during Early Access, but only with expanded gameplay not core mechanics. This game will not enter Early Access until all of the core mechanics are in the game and working 100% or near 100% as there may be some bugs that sneak by but shouldn't be anything too serious. This game will enter Very Early Access to hopefully squash some bugs out before it goes into Steam Early Access just as the Monster game was going to do and I'll go more into that when the time is right for those of you who may be interested in joining the very early access journey.

     That's all I have for you this week, I aim to get back to my regular scheduled content creating program near mid August, but could be sooner. Hope to catch you in my new content in August and again thanks for all of your continued support in my work! Have a great rest of the summer, see you in a new stream or video in August! Goodbye.. for now... ;D
