Hyperbolica Release Delayed

Unfortunately the release date is getting pushed back a little bit, but the quality improvements during that time should hopefully be worth the extra wait. I really want to make sure this to looks and plays like a full, polished game, and not just a tech demo. Next devlog will be coming soon!

take your time, being good first is better then being 'done' first

So let's get this straight:

> Better graphics
> VR support
> Potential QOL improvements
> Will release in the same year as Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

Why would anyone not be perfectly OK with this delay?

[ominoustoaster]

honestly i dont care when it comes out as long as its polished and your best work I'm fine!

[sebastienpautot]

Take your time, this kind of game doesn't happen every year, it needs to be clean.

Looking forward for the game :D

[awayname]

That just means more development videos. I see this as an absolute win.

[DokterKaj]

VR support? I would literally buy a headset just to play this game. Take as long as you need, keep up the work!

[kalliequintanilla]

A game like this? With a full time job? And a family? During covid hours? You're a god for making this game at all. Take all the time you need.

me: oh shit release is delayed did something happen?
codeparade: so I'm putting all this extra care and effort into my game that's totally a passion project and have decided that I need more time

[NonTwinBrothers]

I didn't even know there was a release date until now, lol

Oh shit, art looks nice aswell

To quote the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad".

I dunno about everyone else, but I *like* good games. Take as much time as you need.

P.S. I know Miyamoto said that in a time before the internet was widespread and games could easily be patched, but it still applies to some degree. First impressions matter a lot, and a game with a bad launch will turn many people away, some of whom will never give the game a second look. For example, I hear No Man's Sky is actually good now, but I was drawn away by the bad launch. Were it good on launch, I might have bought it. But instead, it's currently relegated to an entry in my "games to maybe play at some point" list. I haven't bought it (yet). I am (at least right now) a missed sale. EDIT MONTHS LATER: Oh, Cyberpunk 2077. I didn't see you there, what with having not been released yet when I first made this comment. Would you prefer to be the example I cite? Sure, you can be the example I cite.

The amount of respect this dude should get for not taking any money before finishing is thicc

[AymanSussy]

I love how understanding the people in the comments <3

[woodsytheowlscharedcorpse]

Oh god VR sound sickening and I’m going to have to borrow a buddies headset to try it

[hbergwerf]

I am astonished you manage to put this together next to a full-time job and family life! I know from personal experience how much time programming, modelling, and other development takes up. Great project, and don't stress yourself too much :).

[JackSassyPants]

The support and understanding in this comment section makes my heart feel all fuzzy <3
Tell your artist that the style is wonderful, keep up the good work!

[Diggzist]

Take your time dude. This game looks kickass and I'm happy your making sure it's finely tuned and polished. The VR support is just a bonus. Good luck! Can't wait to play!

[GBloxers]

vr support in a game like this would seem super cool!

The new graphics look awesome. I'll look forward even more now.

[CosmiaNebula]

That's fine. I was expecting release in 2022 anyway, so it's a nice surprise.

[netsch]

Hey don't worry about it! I think I speak for everyone here when I say not only is it awesome that you'll be able to make these big improvements, but that your life and family come first and that's totally cool! Keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome
