An Update - Or How I've Ended up with a 7 Game Backlog

OK, College Romance II has been delivered to the publisher, and we're now both waiting for the character art from the artist. So my part on it is finished until we get the artwork, and then a couple of crazy days of putting the art into the game and jazzing up some of the user interface bits.

Next up was originally going to be something based on my game, then series, now game again - Camp Handiba. However, talking with that publisher, I'm now doing a different game first (tenative title "Evidently Yours", but subject to change). Handiba will then come after that, but rescoped to be a three game series rather than one mega game. That will help avoid the likely situation of my finishing the original scope of Handiba, and then waiting six or more months for the artwork on it.

The new game has character art already complete for it, and may need a couple other backgrounds, but is basically just waiting for me to finish it. I should have the demo version of it done by the end of the week (3/6 or 3/7 timeframe) and the full version completed by the end of the month.

In the meantime, I am talking with the CR II publisher about a three game space adventure series, which I would interleave (in terms of doing the work) with the three part Handiba series.

So, there's the seven games I need to get done over the next few months. Thank goodness I actually LOVE this work!
