There will be quite a bit of content regarding characters, so we're going to devote two posts to this topic. Today I'd like to start by looking at what we've done regarding characters in the past two years. I'll discuss these details in more detail in future Dev Logs. The goal is to provide more gameplay, better game performance and immersion. Animal furs, map appearances, physical system, sound system, UI system and so on. In the past two years, in addition to adding more maps and more characters, we have redone almost everything inside and out. We are now gradually improving the efficiency of the game production as we start to work better as a team and the production process improves. I hope you can understand that this can be a phase that a game development team has to face. even though they are already very experienced. The same problem CDPR, Rockstar, and other established studios encounter when they are working on a brand new project to expand their staff. 'Production Hell' describes this particular phase, a term Tesla Motors uses when expanding capacity.

We will now use more frequent meetings, tools, and processes to improve efficiency and development schedule issues.Īnyone who has worked on a larger project will know what I'm talking about. Also, since the game studio is in Shanghai and everyone has been working from home for two months, this is a new efficiency challenge. However, when the number of people reached a certain size, communication and process problems led to a significant decrease in efficiency. You could even say that not much project management was needed back then. In the beginning, when the number of people was small, project management required only a few colleagues 'talking things through'. In 2022, there are three times as many people directly involved in making Party Animals as there were in 2020. What I want players to know is that I want the game to be released as soon as possible (after all, this is the only source of income for the game studio), but quality is still the first priority. The first answer is that the game is still in development and the target release date is hopefully within 2022, with possible delays due to quality and compliance approvals. So starting this month, we'll be releasing a little more information about the game's progress and answering some questions from players. We can feel the anticipation and anxiety of our players. Many players have asked if the game is still in development and when it will be released.

After the open demo in October 2020, we haven't announced any progress on Party Animals for a long time.
