Hi Everyone, I wanted to write a quick update on the progress of the development timeline. My personal life and job have not been allowing me to update as regularly as I planned and I don't feel comfortable charging anyone for updates they aren't getting. I officially paused billing for all patrons today.
This is 100% the last thing I'd like to be doing right now, but it makes most sense with how little time I can dedicate to New Hire right now. This is not an indefinite hiatus, I am re...

Hi everyone, wanted to update on the status of build four. Unfortunately, my 9-5 job has been incredibly demanding this month which means I can’t publish the fourth build in a playable state until next month. I’ll be using all of the free time I can get to finish it and return to my normal schedule, apologies for the delay and thanks so much for all of your support.
What to Expect

Hi everyone! I wanted to update you all on the progress of build three, which I'm planning to have complete by the end of this month, December 31st.
I've been trying to release builds on the 20th of each build month, rather than on the last day of the month, but with holidays and getting sick I unfortunately couldn't hit that date.
As always thanks so, so much for supporting me everyone. Going forward into 2023 I'm really excited to post more regular cont...

Hi y'all😁 this month’s Behind the Scenes post is all about how I’ve been developing the User interface for New Hire and some future plans I have for when the game gets closer to launch.
Prototype UI Designs
Before coding the game, I built some mockups in Figma to get some first ideas for the game’s look and feel. Here’s an original menu design I created — sin...

Hi All! Excited to share our first in-game YCH Auction, starting with the “IT Employee” character who appeared in build 0.1.2.
Info:
This is not one of the four major characters, meaning they are not romanceable. As mentioned in the post image, this character can be any gender and they will appear in 2-4 scenes, at work and outside of work, including scenes visibly di...

Hey all! I’d like to go over some info and rules around New Hire’s in-game character cameos.
Throughout development of New Hire, Executive patrons have the chance to bid on YCH character auctions to get their fursona in the game. These auctions are announced here on Patreon and bidding happens in the comments of the YCH post.
What are the rules?
- YCHs auctions are posted after the YCH in question first appears in the newest build of the g...

Hi all! I wanted to start this behind-the-scenes series with a discussion of how I organize my game development timeline and work schedule for New Hire. I'll discuss how the game's scenes, builds, and entire development are constructed and why. A lot of time and work went into getting this part of the game to a good place, and I prioritized having this work figured out far in advance so that I could spend development time focused on making art and releasing the game.
Getting St...

Hello! I wanted to start off my scheduled Behind-the-Scenes posts with a pretty exhaustive FAQ, so that any supporter can have their questions answered about this game, the development timeline, how the Patreon will work, and more.
If you have any other questions, reach out to me on the New Hire Discord and I can try to answer them to the best of my ability / add those questions here!
