I am thrilled to announce that [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] has passed Valve's certification checks and can be considered to have "[b]gone gold[/b]" roughly two months ahead of its release on Friday February 17, 2023 (for reference, "going gold" generally means when a game starts being physically printed onto discs, which typically happens about a month before the release date. [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] will be a digital-only release, so I am considering the point at which the storefront approves a build of the game to be my "going gold" point).
In addition, the game's title track (released in two versions - one with vocals and one as an instrumental version) will go on sale the same day as the game - Friday, February 17, 2023. You can wishlist the soundtrack on this page which just launched:

There will also be a [b]Deluxe Edition[/b] where you can pick up the [b]game and the soundtrack[/b] together. Please note that the soundtrack is limited to the two tracks mentioned above - the game of course has many more tracks than that, but those are the only two I have the ability to sell due to licensing agreements for the other tracks.
If you do not want to wait for release day to begin listening to the music from [i][b]A Weekend in Puzzleburg[/b][/i] (or you simply prefer to have your music outside of Steam), you can purchase the game's soundtrack on [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBMG8L78/ref=sr_1_3?crid=20R0RROPEUWAB&keywords=a+weekend+in+puzzleburg&qid=1671653964&sprefix=%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-3]Amazon[/url] and [url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-spent-a-weekend-in-puzzleburg-a-weekend/1641280273]Apple Music[/url] right now.
[h3]So what are you working on for the next two months if the game has already gone gold?[/h3]
Although a build of the game has been approved, there are still plenty of things left to do, including but not limited to:
[list]
[*] Enhancing existing art and character dialog
[*] Putting in additional content, such as new side quests
[*] Playtesting the game
[*] Fixing bugs identified through playtesting
[/list]
I hope you pick up A Weekend in Puzzleburg - either the base version or the Deluxe Edition - when the game releases on Friday February 17, 2023. In the meantime, please wishlist and try out the free demo on Steam here:
