Big Changes

    We have big news on our Exciting New Partnership!



    We're excited to announce that we will be working with Devolver Digital @devolverdigital! They've very generously agreed to help us get this beast off the ground, albeit with some tweaks in direction... 
As all of our team members are doing this in our free time, we're looking forward to leaning on their expertise and guidance as we continue on our development journey. 
    
    We have already been in talks with their business and development team. Now we have finalized the deal and will be turning over Project Airbags to their internal team. They have invested $1.1 million in Potential Games Studios and now has total ownership. I have elected to take their generous offer to end my involvement (once the check clears). 




    We have also spoke at length about some of the product placement and potential add revenue. They want to focus less on the piracy, feeling it a bit outdated, and switch it up to a poker focused game. All other puzzles will exist to earn in game currency to play more poker and other tavern games with. They will also be charging a small monthly fee for access, as well as the ability to purchase loot boxes to unlock clothing and character options. In these will also have access to new and better equipment! Allowing for better sword-fighting as well as powerful upgrades to ships!

    We will be consolidating the old YPP, and are in current talks to purchase the rights to it. It will be shut down to avoid splitting a population base for the new game. Existing profiles will be closed and not transferred, but that will allow all players to start anew!

For now, here's some screenshots showing our new partner's vision:

And if you believe any of this on April Fool's day, shame on you. Like I`d sell out for less that $2.5 million!

Dev Rampage - Adventures in coding and sleep depravation

Image
Ahoy all! Mister Tom Bones, he's always rattlin'!      Below is a daily account of our adventures during our ten-day game development sprint. Things may be confusing and/or poetic, but that's what a lack of sleep and too many energy drinks will do for you. Day Zero      Old friends saying hello rarely say much, there is a knowledge of decades and the core of the person. A head nod of greeting and we are off. We plan our expedition loosely, knowing that every step forwards can break progress behind us. But first, we must find comfortable and quality accommodations. My initial scouting had found what was a promising option, but upon closer inspection, the fruits were unripe and the others distasteful. We find ourselves at a fine establishment for tacos through a brief detour. It all seems so simple Day one           As we set upon our quest for fame, fortune, and functional code we find ourselves in a land once familiar to us but foreign as well. Our own footprints and those

New names, & old faces

     Ahoy sky-pirates and aeronautic adventures! While we are working towards our new big phase before we refactor and then do a big art update we wanted to share some business news. We have an official name for the game and have established a new company just for this project!      We have finished setting up our new game development company. We have named it:         trumpets playing in the distance RXR Games Studio!      R and R stands for Russ and Rock, or Rock and Russ, depending upon who's asking. Potential Games Studios will still be around for smaller projects, not associated with this effort.      This new game studio will allow Russ and I to better own the work we do together. Also, it will help us get a publisher! Fingers crossed      Speaking of new titles we'll be working under. We`re ready to announce the proper name of the game! You didn't really think we were gonna leave this game called Project Airbags, did you? We don't even have blimps or zeppelins

The tale thus far

Dev Blog -         Hello everyone, its been a spell since I last updated the community on the progress. A lot has been happening, in regards to myself, it's been rough. The wife passed and sapped most my energy and motivation, been going through some things. Still that hasn`t stopped the project we at Potential Games studio have given the codename: Airbags. (Its a working title). Progress so far:     Steampunk Airship Pirates - in 3D! We have converted to a 3D model. The isometric was proving difficult and time consuming, both Russ and myself have more experience in 3D and we`re working on low poly and simple textures so any phone or computer should be able to handle them. This will also allow us to do a 2.5D experience with several of the puzzles, where much of it is in 2D with some 3D elements added in. Some samples of our 3D work:     The steampunk elements will be present, though not nearly as heavy handed as traditional Victorian steampunk style. It will be added to a golden
