A look back at 2023 and a look ahead to 2024

With it now being December, I figure this would be a good time to look back at the year 2023 for what I accomplished with Sunny Demeanor Games and pull back the curtain a bit on what's to come in 2024. 2023: [list] [*] Released my first video game [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] on February 17, 2023 - you can purchase it on Steam here: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1929760/A_Weekend_in_Puzzleburg]https://store.steampowered.com/app/1929760/A_Weekend_in_Puzzleburg[/url] [*] Received my first review for [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] (LadiesGamers.com gave it a rating of "I Like It" [url=https://ladiesgamers.com/a-weekend-in-puzzleburg-review]here[/url]) [*] [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] was featured in the Kotaku article [url=https://kotaku.com/steam-pc-best-indie-games-demo-youtube-trailer-1850485229]Ten New Games on Steam Bursting with Imagination[/url] [*] Published a demo for my next video game, the interactive spy novel [i][b]There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight[/b][/i], which is a spin-off from [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] based on one of the hotel room TV channels [*] [i][b]There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight[/b][/i] participated in the October Steam Next Fest [*] I ran my first-ever Kickstarter (for [i][b]There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight[/b][/i]). The Kickstarter unfortunately didn't get funded, but the game will still be completed and released in March 2024 (albeit without having a James Bond-esque theme song like I envisioned) [/list] 2024: [list] [*] I am hereby announcing a free content update for [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] called the [b]"This Town Ain't Big Enough" update[/b] coming in the [b]first half of 2024[/b]. This will add [b]three new quests[/b] to the game, including one quest where you play an Old West-themed game of hide-and-seek trying to find a kid in different spots all over town and another quest that may very well dictate the future of Puzzleburg itself! [*] [i][b]There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight[/b][/i] will release in March 2024 - you can wishlist it and play the free demo on Steam here: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390500/Theres_Always_a_Madman_Fight_or_Flight]https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390500/Theres_Always_a_Madman_Fight_or_Flight[/url] [*] I am also in pre-production on my next game, which will be a second entry in the [i][b]There's Always a Madman series[/b][/i]. I expect that game to release in Q1 2025 [/list] So there you have it - everything going on in the world of Sunny Demeanor Games as we wrap up 2023 and head into 2024 (and even a sneak peek at something on the agenda for 2025).
