PATH UPDATE :P

Hey everyone! I know I've been offline for quite a bit now, but I wanted to give an update and clarify a few things before Path is released.

• If you're interested in playing Path (I certainly hope you are, otherwise why are you reading this?), you will be able to find it on itch.io. The plan is to publish the game on itch.io and, just afterward, publish a post on this website (yes! here!) with a short description of the game and the link to the game. This game will be the beta, and will probably get a bunch of updates if it gets enough publicity. Me and Human Child are going to decide about the price tag soon, but to be honest it will probably end up free.

• Yes, there have been some edits to the more recent posts. Originally, we thought that the contest was going to be over somewhere around March 25th, so we set the release date to the 31st. However, there was apparently some confusion about the contest's required submit date, so I edited my post to state that the release would be on April 13th (the final day we'll be working on the project).

• Another edit is about the title screen! Path was originally going to end with the main character being a national leader (think president level) and they would have to literally choose between peace and war. However, due to a suggestion by one of our playtesters, we completely redesigned the game to help the player feel more close to the main character and to ensure they were fully immersed throughout the 30 minute game. With this change came a lot of redesigning story and background-wise. Since the main character was wearing a militaristic uniform in the first title screen, we decided to change it to a purple hoodie! This will also make a little more sense once you play the game. (yes, that was a teaser :)

• If you've seen Path's webpage, you've probably seen the long trail of backgrounds in it. This is because we are creating Path in Twine, which (at least on the browser version) requires a link to the picture you use as a background. Our solution was to simply create this website instead of using the old WordPress one, mainly because a) I can't access that on my school computer and b) wix has a blog feature!

I don't know if I've said this already, but Path is a sci-fi game! Also, this is really cool art... it's from Wix's illustration library.
