IMPORTANT!
On The Clock - (GMTK 2021) » Devlog
So... there is not going to be an update for this game. Or any of my old GMTK Game Jam games. I went in-depth into why in my latest video (linked below) but I will provide a text-explanation (copied from the video script) here. For more in-depth reflection on this and my other Jam games (such as about the actual games and not just why I'm not updating any of them), please watch the video.
"But I am not going to be remaking any of these games. For a few months I went back and forth on remaking On The Clock to bring it up to what I wanted. After the 2021 jam, I switched from doing art in the engine, GameMaker Studio 1.4, to doing it in Aseprite. And switching to Aseprite was probably the best decision I ever made, followed up by also switching from GameMaker Studio 1.4 to GameMaker Studio 2.
But the reason I don’t want to remake them is honestly mostly because… well, I want them to stand testament to who I was in the past as a developer. Both the good and the bad, however bad it may be… (glances at Light Way.) It’s not because I lack the motivation to remake them, I just… don’t see the point. These games were MEANT to be made within those tiny timeframes of 48 hours. Remaking them in much more time long past those jams feels like trying to just cover it up.
I’d rather these old and frankly pretty bad games continue existing as is, so that when GMTK 2022 rolls around and passes by, I can compare whatever game I make for that jam to these old entries and hopefully, maybe, feel a bit proud that I’ve actually moved forward as a developer."
I hope to see you all in GMTK 2022 and onwards.
