Hello everyone, I’m thrilled to share with you a fresh and exciting direction for the development of Welcome to Doll Town! After much thought, I’ve decided to embrace an episodic format for the game’s release. Here's what that means: 📖 Episodes Unveiled The game will be released in episodes, each adding a new layer to the story and gameplay experience. Episode 1 will be completely free on all platforms including PC, Mac, Xbox, PS5, Mobile (Switch will come later), giving everyone the opportunity to dive into the world of Welcome to Doll Town without barriers. The demo is still scheduled before first release of Episode 1 Subsequent episodes will be unlocked over time, gradually building on the narrative and introducing new challenges, characters, and features. 💡 Why This Vision? As a solo developer, this approach allows me to: Focus on Quality: Each episode will be crafted with care, ensuring a polished and immersive experience. Engage with You: Releasing the game in segments lets me gather feedback, refine future episodes, and make the game even better based on your input. Sustain Development: Managing a large-scale project as a solo dev is no small feat. By breaking the game into episodes, I can maintain a steady workflow and keep delivering content consistently. 🌟 What to Expect A deeper connection to the story as it unfolds, giving you time to immerse yourself in the world. A chance to grow with the game, as your feedback helps shape the future episodes. An inclusive experience with Episode 1 being free, ensuring that everyone can begin the journey. This episodic structure isn’t just a logistical decision; it’s a creative one. It mirrors the way we uncover stories in real life—bit by bit, savoring each chapter. It also lets me stay true to the vision of Welcome to Doll Town while balancing the challenges of solo development. 🚀 Stay Tuned! Episode 1 will be launching soon, and I can’t wait for you to experience it. Keep an eye out for updates, sneak peeks, and announcements about what’s coming next. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support and enthusiasm mean the world, and I’m so excited to take this next step together. Let’s make Welcome to Doll Town something truly unforgettable. With gratitude, Pokedollah Solo Developer of Welcome to Doll Town
