Friends, lovers, and degenerates, lend me your ear! This is the first post in the Dev Diaries where you can read short, monthly updates on College Craze’s progress!
If you can’t wait to play the next chapter or want sneak peeks, bonus content, and special-edition merch, consider becoming a Patron!
This month, I’ve written ~37K words and 4.4K lines of code. It’s ambitious, but my goal is to have the scope of v5 span over 12 days. There will be time skips, but the heart of the update will be the Donor Dinner which is about halfway done. It’s a beast with lots of branching, so I expect to keep working on it well into Sept before moving on.
I’ve also had a lot of fun writing bonus content for Patrons this month including a lore post! There will be a character Q&A going on soon, so comment any burning questions you have for the cast! Depending on who it is, they may or may not give you a straight answer, but some of the highlights will be posted on Twitter 😜
As for artwork, I’ve finished 2 new character sprites and 6 CGs. I streamed some of what I did this month for Patrons on Discord. There’s a public, non-spoiler stream on Wed, Aug 31st, so feel free to drop in and join the fun on Discord.
I am still thinking through ways to marry the Patreon model with Steam and how it's currently set up, but I don't have any concrete answers on how the release schedule will be on this platform at this time. If you’ve enjoyed College Craze so far, be sure to leave a review! This really helps with visibility and supports me in my creation of this game!
Until next time!
