WIP 34

Hello everyone! 👋

I want to share more details about my plans for this new year of 2025, which I briefly mentioned in the YouTube channel video. 🎥

Finding Buddies started in 2022 as a test, without major intentions of continuing. At the time, I didn't have much knowledge, experience, or a well-defined workflow for development. Over time, the project became messy, bugs appeared , and the difference between the first and latest chapters became evident, both graphically and mechanically .

For these reasons, since last year, I have been working on a remake of the game, aiming to release a more polished, beautiful first season and, most importantly, prepare the game for launch on Steam, the largest PC gaming platform. 🎮

Although I know this step is necessary, I admit I am a bit apprehensive 😅 about how the community will receive a remake instead of a continuation of the story in the next update.

However, the remake will not be just a visual improvement but rather a completely new experience, reimagining the first chapters of the game. I want to finally integrate the smartphone  as the game's main mechanic, bringing several improvements and new features such as:

• Driver App 🚗: now with an interactive map where players can choose which "missions" to complete first, including side missions such as a walk in the park with Gabriela or a trip to the ice cream shop with Yoon.

• Finder App ❤️: allowing players to exchange photos with potential love interests, adding more interaction and immersion.

• Photo App 🖼️: enabling players to revisit photos and videos from previous dates, helping to relive important moments of the story.

• Bank App 💳: allowing players to make purchases, earn money, and significantly impact gameplay.

In addition to these improvements, all videos from the first chapters will be redone, including the iconic meeting with Matheus in the bathroom, which will now feature more options, different endings, and even a follow-up encounter where Daniel and Matheus feel more comfortable. 🛁

With the project's growth and the complexity of the planned improvements, I will need more people to work with me, especially in areas I don't fully master, such as: Programming, Marketing ,Acting

If you are or know someone experienced in these areas and would like to be part of the project, please contact me on Discord. 💬

Thank you so much for all the support and for being part of the development of Finding Buddies ❤️

Let's make this project even more amazing together! 🚀
