So... it's been a while
On the offchance people are following this thread or want to hear more directly from me, this seemed the best place to do it
I should probably start with a key point that no, Community Service is not being continued as a project at this time. Having recently replayed my own game after nearly a 2yr break I can still see a lot of potential there, but I need a smaller project to get me back in action.
A smaller project? Yes.
I am actively developing a new HTML game. This game is being made on a much smaller scale. A smaller map, a smaller cast of characters, and admittedly a smaller roster of available events. This is because a lot of work has gone into the gameplay loop, and updating a lot of the UI elements from Community Service.
Taking inspiration from The Company and Lab Rats, this game will follow a sort of corruption and influence style. Admittedly this has been done to death through HTML so I'll be adding other elements over time to expand the core gameplay mechanics.
I can't give an accurate date on when the release will be. It could be next month it could be January. A lot of the core mechanics I want for the v0.01 build are in their final stage, and now I'm working on adding the full content for one of the characters. I will also be reopening a Discord Server in the coming weeks, but won't be reopening Patreon.
This will be another parody title. In the same way Community Service adapted Misfits, this new game will adapt a different media. Maybe it'll stand out, but I don't know, as the variety of games on F95 seem to constantly change.
But war. War never changes.
