Information regarding the game’s progress
Added 2021-11-30 15:00:41 +0000 UTCHello, everyone.
We sincerely apologize for the long wait between updates. We’ve been reading your comments and understand that we have not been doing enough to communicate our progress, so we would like to take this opportunity to explain the current state of ResizeMe!’s development in detail.
●The next update
As of writing, we’re finishing up the final sections of the update and are currently working on small details and fine tunings. It’s quite a bit more work than we had anticipated, which lead to this schedule slip.
We're considering uploading this update in a separate build that only contains the new contents in order to at least save some time on the uploading process.
●The game’s overall progress
Shrink route: We are currently developing the final event in the route’s main story line, although it will most likely take a while more until it’s ready to release.
City route: We’re currently preparing all the models for the city’s “next phase”. The next update and the one after that will contain short story branches / bad ends that split off from the current point in the story.
The final event of the shrink route is being developed by one person which is why it’s taking a particularly long time (I’m doing my best!). The three assistants that helped us develop most of the shrink route events throughout this year and last year are currently hard at work creating models for the city route, particularly the buildings and such, and will likely keep focusing on preparations on that front next year as well.
●Road map
Our main plan for next year is to finish the shrink route and develop the next phase of the city route that leads up to the game’s conclusion, as well as possibly add various bonus contents.
Due to changes in my (MJ) own personal life that limit the amount of time I can work on the game, as well as the aforementioned delays, the game has been free to play for some time now. It’ll eventually release on Steam for a price, although we do not have a set date yet; we’d like to begin looking into it as soon as the main story is complete.
●Mid-development screenshots and teasers
We apologize for not posting many screenshots of updates during the long waiting periods between updates. Our reasoning is that we would like the screenshots to be as accurate to the final release as possible, so as to not potentially betray people’s expectations by posting something that would end up not being used in the actual update.
We sincerely apologize for the long waiting times and the inconvenience caused by our lack of communication. We will take your comments to hear and look into more ways to properly communicate our current progress and the overall state of development.
こんにちは、更新お待たせしてすみません。
いつもお知らせができない状態なので、今回は少し詳細に書きます。
●次の更新について
今はイベントを仕上げる段階で、少し細かい部分を作り込んでいます。
これが結構思わぬ量だったりして少しお待たせしています……!
(アップするのを早めるため、今回も更新部分のみのアップロードになるかも知れません)
●ゲーム全体の進行状態について
シュリルート:シナリオ最後のイベントを作成中です。この更新はまだ先になるかもしれません。
都市ルート:次の段階の都市モデルの準備中で、次とその次の更新は、既存部分の分岐になります。
シュリルート最後のイベントは一人で作る内容のため、時間がかかっている状態です。(がんばります)
協力して頂いている方(現在3名です)には、去年と今年とシュリルートイベントをたくさん作っていただきました。
現在は都市ルートのために「モデリングの勉強」や「建物の資料集め」などをお願いしています。
そのため来年はじっくり下準備の期間になるかも知れません。
●ロードマップについて
来年は、残りシュリルートの最後と、
都市ルートの次の段階の制作、そこからラストへ向けてのイベント制作が目標です。
その他のサブ要素は色々検討していますが、まだ未定です。
現在は生活環境の変化で私(MJ)の使える時間が少ないため、開発期間が長くなってしまい、無料公開にしてsteamでの販売は未定としています。
シナリオが完成した時には、またsteamに関して予定が組めればと考えています。
(具体的な期間が出せず申し訳ないです)
●スクリーンショットについて
なるべく確実に更新に入るものを選んでいるため、あまり多く載せられていません。
「スクリーンショットにはあったのに、ゲームに入っていない……」という状態はできるだけ避けたい感じです。
いつもお待たせしています。
今後、制作状況を色々報告できる方法がないか、少し検討します。
Comments
Even if some are critical of the communication, just let them make the game they planned otherwise. The creepy requests based on individual interests is kind of weird and rude.

2021-12-11 16:51:50 +0000 UTCBeen here since month 1, and I plan to be here even if you start a new project after this. Let me know about Steam Trading Cards, I'd love to connect you with some artists to make those.

2021-12-09 05:31:48 +0000 UTCthanks for the update. The two vore events in this game are the best in the Vore vr space. I really hope and pray for a few more in the game, preferably if she picks up Makato with the intent to eat him.

2021-12-08 01:29:26 +0000 UTCWe appreciate the quick response. I think we're all fine waiting for a polished update (been here since 2019), but we'd also like to know progress on a monthly basis.

2021-11-30 16:23:59 +0000 UTCNo progress due to some reason is OK for me if you do a report like the posts. I think I need to know what's the PROGRESS! Thank you for your explaination!

2021-11-30 15:40:43 +0000 UTCI'm just happy a game like this exists in the first place and I'm glad it's being made at all. The quality alone for me personally justifies the amount of time it takes to make. Especially for such a small team. I understand it's hard work for all of you so I'm super appreciative of your efforts. The fact that it exists and is being made at all is what makes me happy and keeps me engaged. The fact that it takes a while to make doesn't upset me or anything, but if you pulled the plug on the project that would be the worst. It's such a beautiful thing you're doing for the community and that alone is worth waiting and looking forward to each and every day 🥰❤️
