Good morning to the best community,
Simon here. Some of you probably already wondered why there haven’t been many updates lately, both of the game and from us devs. Don’t panic, we’re still here and alive.
The reason why things went unusually slowly in the last couple of weeks is, that Marc and me had to take on another temporary project on the side, since Screw Drivers unfortunately hasn’t been performing as well as we’d hoped, and we needed to keep being able to pay our rent and feed the bugs living under our beds. I really really tried to find the time and energy to put some work into Screw Drivers as well, but it was just too much for me, and I noticed that this took a toll of my mental health.
I’m getting by now, but my heart is broken since I’m currently not able to work on my most loved project in the world. And on top of that I really miss my Screw Drivers community, I’m sorry I haven’t been as active as usual on Steam and discord, I just needed some time to cope with everything, and I’ll be back soon I promise!
Come to the light at the end of the tunnel now, I will be back at full speed on the project in a couple of months. Until then I thought that we just release all the new stuff Marc, Lucas and me have prepared and worked on over the last couple of weeks and months. These things aren’t properly balanced and polished or even finished yet. But I want you to be able to play around with all of that, and by the time I’m back full speed on Screw Drivers, I can take all your feedback on all the new things we did, take the million bugs you’ve found and make Screw Drivers the absolute best game in the world.
This big update with lots of unfinished beta content will come in 3 days, on the 30th of October! I’ll try to make a little video showcasing everything that’s in it, and multiplayer is one of those things, finally! :)
Until then, from the bottom of my heart I’m sorry for not being here as much as I wanted to, and I really cannot wait to be back as soon as possible!
Simon
