🔳 Up next (late Q4 2023) & thoughts on the future

Who knows what I'll actually get done this next pass, but along with some leftover things from the previous update, I will be doing more level design and working towards some pretty big core gameplay changes.

It's possible this ends up being the last free alpha for TCPD. As I said in my last update, I'm thinking about going into an "Early Access" period for TCPD on itch (Steam will only get the full release once ready) in the coming months. I'll still have demos/playtests available from time to time, but regular alpha access will be restricted to paying users (likely $10 or so). All purchases will receive a Steam key when the game is ready. I will have to do a little bit of research to see how to set that up but either way as the game gets more content it feels ideal to reserve access for those interested in testing the early game (and hopefully providing feedback on their purchase)!

Have any suggestions or ideas of what you'd like to see in TCPD? Let me know!


I welcome and encourage all constructive feedback, positive or negative. I need your help to continue making "TCPD" into the best possible game it can be, so please post or message me with any comments or suggestions you may have!
