Holy cow, how's it been a year already?! Even all this time later it still feels surreal to me that the game is out. Nonetheless, the first anniversary is here, and I want to say thank you all for the incredible support; the response has been way bigger than I ever thought it would be, and I'm extremely grateful that this many people have been enjoying the game thus far!
Of course, Annalynn herself isn't going anywhere any time soon! Lots of things are in store for her and the pesky snakes, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to discuss a little bit more about what the future holds.
Future Updates
The game is getting closer to what I'd consider "complete," but I've still got a few plans for updates in mind. The next update still has a ways to go before it's ready, but most of the features for then will be focusing on more quality of life improvements, such as improving menu navigation and making some more subtle tweaks to the game to make it more enjoyable to play. There's some other things in the update that I don't want to spoil just yet, so look forward to it when it's ready!
Consoles
Probably the number one question I've been asked the most is if the game will be coming to consoles or other platforms at some point down the road. The answer is yes...eventually. It's going to take a fair bit of work to make sure everything in the game will function properly on consoles. I don't have as much free time nowadays as I used to, either, so I'd rather be dedicating that time to more of the core updates and future projects, so I appreciate your patience in this area!
Speaking of future projects...
The Sequel
Yep, a sequel to the game is now being worked on! I don't have any screenshots to show at the moment since it's fairly early into development, but this more or less is just stating that the project is now officially in the works. I can't give an estimate as to when I can reveal more, but hopefully I'll have something bigger to announce about the project relatively soon!
Ask Me Anything
As another way to celebrate the first anniversary of the game's release, I'm hosting an AMA session on my personal Twitter page! Got a question about what's in store for the future of the series? Wanna know how some parts were made? Or maybe you'd just like to get to know more about myself? Feel free to shoot me a reply and I'll do my best to get back to you!
That's all for updates for now. Thank you so much for your continued support for the game, and here's to another good year for Annalynn! Keep on mining!
