Hello everyone!
Kyle here, from Cenokga. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a game development update for games by Cenokga going forward.
In an earlier post, I said that the development of Knights of the Silver Table was being put on hold.
Well, due to the recent announcement about GameMaker changing back to One Time payments, I’m happy to say that the development of games by Cenokga will continue being developed by GameMaker for the time being.
When GameMaker changed its pricing to subscriptions, I felt like game development using GameMaker, might not continue. Although I had the original Permanent License, the new runtime was said to not be included. Among other things, this created a long period of waiting and consideration. Multiple games had been in development using GameMaker, and learning a new game engine seemed like a hard thing to do. Also, because I had invested so many hours, months and years into using GameMaker. It was a back and forth, thought process of whether to learn a new game engine that was free to start or continue using GameMaker and decide to not release on console. Well, since GameMaker for Desktop exports, is back to a One Time payment, development will continue using GameMaker for the time being. I don’t know about console releases, as the price is still $79.99 a mo or $899.99 a yr. This will be something to consider later as development of games continue.
I wanted to also say that Knights of the Silver Table is still planned to be released. But some things about the game are changing. Like the scope of the game. I first wanted Knights of the Silver Table to have around 10 Worlds. But to make a game of that size and to make each of the 10 Worlds be unique, fun and engaging, it would take some time. So, I’ve decided to make the scope of the game shorter. Also, so I can use the other ideas for any sequels (hint, hint). A game doesn’t have to be long to be fun. It just needs to be fun.
There are also more games in development and planned to be released. So, stay tuned for future announcements!
Again, I want to thank all of you who still have Knights of the Silver Table on your Steam wishlist.
But, if you don’t, please wishlist it here:
Until the next update,
Be Strong and Courageous!
