Greetings everyone,
I believe MPSS has huge potential, but I feel like the current demo doesn't reflect that well enough. That's why I've decided to rebuild the demo from scratch.
As a first step, I'm changing the environment to a Japanese setting. I think it fits our theme perfectly. Since Japan is one of the places I want to visit most, this makes MPSS more meaningful to me. Hopefully, working in this atmosphere will make me feel more peaceful and help me put in longer hours on development.
It can be challenging to create a game people want to play while trying to balance a job and personal life. However, I need to overcome this because I really want to see MPSS on Steam and watch people having a good time with it.
I am adding a repair module to the game. Sound design and replayability will be very valuable at this stage, and I believe this will take the project to the next level. For Early Access and the full release, I plan to increase the variety of repairs and the number of phones. After releasing MPSS, we might even consider a separate project focused solely on repairing electronics.
That's the short update for now. Additionally, I've decided to use TikTok more actively for marketing. I think any developer who consistently markets on TikTok will be surprised by the results in the long run. It is currently one of the best tools to show people what you are building.
