Patch 1.25 – 1 year update! — Boyce the Voice Steam update #276351

Well, it’s been a while. Admittedly, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I made my first game. I think coming from an animation background I thought it would be like releasing a short video or something (ie: “Put it out there and see what happens”.) This isn’t the case for games though. Games are kinda like restaurants I feel, it’s almost a service industry. You’ve got people playing it and ultimately they want to experience something so good they’ll come back for more. They want to like your game, but it also takes only the smallest things for them to dislike it. Also, considering there is an upfront price for entry they will have discerning thoughts about a number of factors you never thought of before purchasing (let alone playing, leaving a review, etc). It’s an uphill battle *after* the release, not just getting to release. So, “putting it out there” is not an optimal mindset...
