Hey everyone,
It’s been a wild few weeks, and I wanted to take some time to update everyone on where things stand, both with Dooms Day Delivery Service and life in general.
To be real, the last stretch hasn’t been easy. I’ve been doing everything I can to keep the lights on and bills paid, from donating plasma to selling a few things at the pawn shop. It’s definitely not glamorous, but that’s the indie dev grind sometimes. I’ve been balancing that with pushing forward on the game whenever I can carve out time and energy.
Yesterday was Sara’s birthday, so I took the day to focus on her and celebrate. Having that break reminded me why I’m doing all this, to build something meaningful that not only entertains people but also creates opportunities for everyone involved in this project.
Even with life being hectic, progress is happening. The team and I have been tightening up the structure of the project, finishing documentation, and continuing to refine the drone system, which is really shaping up to be one of the game’s defining features. Zayne’s been doing an amazing job keeping our GitHub clean and working on the technical side of things, while others like Eddie, Julia, Tess, and Haley are helping strengthen the foundation behind the scenes.
Looking ahead, our short-term goal is to get the demo to a playable state, so we can start pursuing funding opportunities and get everyone on the team working full-time. Right now, most of us are juggling school, jobs, or other projects, but we’re all passionate about bringing this weird, dark, satirical world to life.
Long-term, the dream is to establish AO Games as a full indie studio, one that keeps making creative, story-driven horror and horror-comedy games that mix heart, humor, and chaos in ways big studios won’t touch.
To everyone following along: thank you. Seriously. Every bit of support, whether it’s feedback, sharing posts, or just checking in, helps keep me going. If you’d like to help keep the project moving while we get through this early stage, donations are always appreciated and make a real difference.
I’m still here, still building, and still determined to make something special out of all of this.
What’s Next
Right now, I’ll be focusing on:
-
Finalizing our Confluence documentation and task organization in Jira
-
Continuing development on the drone system and camera controls
-
Beginning early layout and testing for the first level of the demo
It’s a lot to balance, but step by step, it’s all coming together. More updates soon, and thank you again to everyone who’s been part of this journey.
