While technically not for 8 more days, I'm getting an early start on my final post of the BISC cycle. It seems that despite my best efforts, I only manage 3-5 blog updates per project. The development of BISC has proven to be even slimmer when it comes to blogging. I'm not sure if this is my natural lack of long-form thought, or if it's just my laziness. In any case BISC is coming to a close. Kind of.
BISC is the first time I'm really dabbling in what the kids would call a "Service Game", meaning that I'm looking to continue updating in new content and tweaks for the coming months. While this means that BISC is done, it also means that BISC is only ever going to be mostly done. While the official 1.0 release will be on July 24, there will still be content patches with new dogs, new races, new sleds, and maybe even new villages coming for a few months after release. In theory this is to give people a reason to keep going back, but in practice it's likely to be more of an exercise in rewarding those faithful few that stick around and like the game. It also means that even as we move on to other projects, BISC will still be on our minds and under our fingers.
There are a few projects in the sort of pre-production realm, but we're sort of unsure at this point which has the legs and ambition to make it all the way through to release, and which are cool ideas that'll be left on the cutting room floor.
All this is my lengthy and rambly way to say that BISC is coming July 24 on Google Play and that you should follow our Twitter and Facebook for news on updates, new games, special offers, all that kinda thing.
Thanks,
