*MFG = My First Game

For those who are new to MFG, I have previously written about my plans to create my own game. You can read more about it in previous posts:

Dear readers,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to update you on the status of my game. I apologize for the silence over the past month, I was on a well-deserved vacation ⛱️ but now I’m back and ready to continue my work.

I’ve been looking for some similar and interesting games for inspiration and to learn from the best. My list includes Kentucky Route Zero, What Remains of Edith Finch, Return of the Obra Dinn, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Lake, Journey, Twelve minutes, Before your eyes, and Oxenfree. Some of these games I’ve never played, but others are my favorites.

Over the next month, I will be playing these games to learn what makes these games special and why they’ve received positive feedback from players. I’ll be looking at how they communicate with players, their pricing, revenue, critics’ scores, and any awards or nominations they’ve received. I’m excited to see what I can learn and how I can apply it to my game.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress and any new statuses. Thank you for your continued support.

P.S. Feel free to recommend me your favourite Adventure, Puzzle, Exploration titles

Warmly, Artem 🐱
