Progress update episode 3

Thanks a lot for your kind comment! I'm glad you were impressed and enjoyed playing it. Will do my best for episode 3! :)

I´ve just played the game up until its current state and I have to say, I am impressed. You have very high standards when it comes to the quality of the renders / animations and storytelling. I also really enjoy your humour and seeing the "cross promotions" with other games that I have already played is really fun to see. Keep up the good work buddy and dont stress yourself too much ;)

Yes Ganderwiz, thanks again, it looked much better after you added your little touch!

MisterMaya

Just remember, MrMaya on each episode if you could do the condensed walkthrough like you did on episodes 1&2, & I will take that and expand the walkthrough in the same format as I did last time for you.

Thanks a lot for your compliment Ganderwiz :) Everyday I do my best to create a great story. I have planned five episodes for The Entrepreneur. The story is all written, and 5 episodes are just what I need. I don't want my first game to be too big, as I have learnt a lot, and want to do so much more things that I can't do with The Entrepreneur because of decisions I made in the first episode.

Only MrMaya can answer that accurately, but with most of these games, they keep releasing updates until the story is complete. Keep in mind this genre of game is not like most games. The best way to think of it is they are like the old "choose your own adventure" novels that were popular in paperback in the 80's and 90's. There is a central story that changes only slightly based off of the choices you make when they pop up in game. These games pretty much are like that only they add video and audio aspects rather than just text. But overall, you are still reading a novel for all intents and purposes.

Also how many episodes do you plan on doing if you plan on finishing around the end of 2022?

ah okay thanks!

A lot of it depends on 1) how big the team is that's working on it 2) how well they work together 3) how competent they are 4) how much time is spent daily working on it In MrMaya's case, (and this is what is so amazing) he is only one man AND this is his first game. His effort clearly shows and The Entrepreneur is shaping up to eventually be able to give the giants (Mr Dot, Dr Pinkcake and Undergrad Steve) of the genre quite a run for their money. The Entrepreneur is already one of my favorite titles in this genre of games.

Hey there, so it usually takes me around 3 months. The episode 3 is scheduled to be out in the beginning of June :) That is if I can meet my deadlines, but I'm confident about it.

MisterMaya

sorry im new to this whole game development thing, but how long do episodes usually take to make? I assume a couple of months but does this mean that the next release will be around like august or something?

It is honestly really good, and I can work more efficiently. Sometime I had to wait a few minutes to make sure a render was any good, so I watched stupid stuff on my phone, and that's losing concentration. Now, it's a matter of seconds, a minute at most.

MisterMaya

How is the new gpu living up to your expectations?

That's great to know, thanks for your kind comment and your support, I will do my best! :)

MisterMaya

Thank you! I'll do my best to take care of my health, and deliver a great episode 3 as soon as I can :)

MisterMaya

Thanks for your concern :) I will be careful with that, as I'm not afraid to delay the release in order to publish an episode that's free of bugs.

MisterMaya

You have a good game, and doing a good job! Thanks for the regular and detailed progress info. You are a role model for many people. Keep up the good work, just don't forget yourself and your loved ones around you. Once again, thank you Mister Maya for your commitment! Warm regards Arun :-)

In China, there is an old saying that "a good meal is not afraid of late". Therefore, don't worry too much. We have an idiom called the combination of work and rest. It means that you can't work all the time, and you also need proper rest, so the effect can be better! It doesn't matter if it's released a little late, as long as you're always there!:)

As has been said in the past, just be careful not to burn yourself out my friend. Schedules are important but a hard deadine and uncompromising obediance towards it can be devastating if it leads to bugs and other inconsistancies in the finished product. I am quite sure that your fans will not mind an occasional miss of a deadline so long as it doesn't affect the story negatively.
