Save The Gain Post Compo Update.

With all of your awesome comments about how we should keep going with the project.

I have been giving a lot of thought to doing a post-compo, and have decided that I’ll only work on a post-compo version is if it was to be a full-fledged game, not just bug fixes. In order for this to become a reality, I really need a community backing it. I have created a Google group and if we get 15+ people to join, then I’ll start working on it. Basically, I’m looking for an audience for the game. This is extremely important to us because there’s nothing worse then pumping your heart and soul into a project to realize that no one cares to even play it when you’re done, which has happened to us before.
If you want to join the group, then go here: GOOGLE GROUPand apply for membership. I don’t want to make this group public, because this will act as the dev group. There will be a section for public builds if it makes it that far.

Everyone wanting the project to go forward join the Google group to push this project forward we are currently at 2/15 people. I’m creating the group for:
– People who want to be involved in making this a good game.
– People to play builds and tech demos for new mechanics.
– Anyone who interested in our concepts and art techniques.
– Everyone who wants to play a better version of this game.

The thing is it might take us a while to make this game and Ludum 31 will be long gone in that short amount of time. This makes it really hard to show the final product to everyone who wanted to see this go further. The Google group gives us access to email addresses where you can be reached when new versions are out. It also provides feedback for us when things are broken or just bad ideas. By joining you have no responsibility just access to early versions and test demos. This will be a closed day-one alpha test group basically.

If you haven’t played our game, please check it out and let us know if this is a good idea (CLICK HERE TO PLAY). Leave a comment here if you would like us to play your game in return. Thanks in advance for your support.

-UPDATE: We are currently at 5/15 people in the group, and so far the introductions have been awesome! We have a diverse set of people who are very talented. This leads me to believe that starting this sub-community was such a good idea. I feel like we will learn a lot from each other and if nothing more further our skills for next Ludum Dare. I really urge you to join if you’re least bit of interested. I have plans to release a post mortem so everyone can understand why our game is it current broken state.
