[h1]Ahoy lads![/h1] Whether you know me from The Caribbean Sail, Captain Blacksword, or just liked the character designs; this post is long overdue. Five years overdue. [h3]Not canceled, not actively in development.[/h3] As the man at the helm of Victorian Clambake, there is no development news as there has been no active development on this game in years as you can see here: https://twitter.com/Jolly_Riot I still want to make this game, I still have a vision for it, I still think it will be an absolute banger someday. So why isn't it moving? [h3]What happened?[/h3] I was creating this game on an even keel with the cartographer (Graphic designer, artist, and co-conspirator) and one day, I outlined how much work would be required to finish the game in the art style he had created. It would look great, but, it would probably take more than a lifetime to make without funding and a team increase. I wasn't ready for that. He wasn't ready for that. Victorian Clambake was not ready for that. So we made a trade. An unspoken idea we were also working on took his attention while Jolly Riot held my heart, so we made a trade. He's got that one and Jolly Riot entirely belongs to me now. [h3]What happens next?[/h3] I'm a one man crew at the moment so I'm going to finish Captain Blacksword. After that, I have a few choices: Work on another game idea I've had, take a second look at Shell Shuffle, or come back to Jolly Riot. If Jolly Riot is to be completed, I'll either need to raise a fortune on Kickstarter and source a team of artists capable of a hand drawn art style- or, the game will be scaled back and I'll make it a minimally pixelated game. Both would be a major turning point for the game but I'd still like to take a crack at bringing my vision for this game to life someday.
