Hey! I haven't posted here in a little while!
Make sure to check out This Week in Superpowers #2 and This Week in Superpowers #3 for the latest development and community news. Loooots of stuff has happened.
Last week end, we took part in the Global Game Jam and made Lumberjack Jacques and the Ritual of Doom.
Also, we've posted our first Secret Supporter Update on Patreon, featuring a sneak peek at our next game! :D
Project Sustainability
It's been a year and a half since the three of us started working on Superpowers. Thanks to generous support from the community on Patreon and during early access on Gumroad, we've been able to do it full-time so far. But with our current financial situation, we can't afford to keep going like that for much longer.
So we've been looking for work on the side, in order to continue this awesome beast of a project... and, well, good news! Bilou and I have found long-term gigs and Pixel-boy will be doing some contract work soon.
What does that mean? Well, we'll definitely have less time to spend on Superpowers every week. Buuuuut! now we don't have to worry so much about making rent every month, and it's remote work with a pretty flexible schedule so, short of being paid to work on Superpowers itself full-time, it's the best outcome we could hope for!
More Open Source work!
We'll do our very best to keep earning your support by releasing more cool open source stuff! On top of our ongoing work on Superpowers, we're recently open sourced, migrated to GitHub and/or improved:
- superpowers-asset-packs — Our asset packs are now CC0-licensed!
- tab-strip — Fixed various edge cases, much better demo
- resize-handle — Can now reuse an existing handle div to avoid flashing on startup
- dnd-tree-view — Now supports custom drag'n'drop events from/to external locations
- simple-dialogs — Extracted as a standalone library from Superpowers
When's the next release?
Check out the latest edition of This Week in Superpowers for info about the next release and why we haven't pushed out a v0.20 yet.
Talk to you soon! ♥
