Hi all,
For those of you who have followed Port Imagination, I wanted to jump in and let you know a few things that have been happening over the last year.

First, the lore and world of Port Imagination has been expanding, especially in the Podcast sphere. Samite, a spin-off of the Weeping Cedars Podcast, has introduced the world to Virtue Vista Valley and its charms. Port Imagination, which main exists in the VVV world, requires some more learning on my part, both as a developer and as a 3D modeler to get it ready for Prime Time.

So, several of the ideas from PI have made their way into this new game in the Weeping Cedars world: Camp Muck-Rungler. Set in 1983, you play Melissa Day, a sick young woman whose father has bought her a computer to keep her mind off of her troubles.

CMR marks a big change in the style of game, as it is inspired by games like Stories Untold and Buddy Simulator 1984. It will be a four part puzzle game, with all four parts slated to come out over a year. The goal will be to price the first chapter at $5.99 and each subsequent chapter at around $2 or so, meaning that the full game should be about $12 when completed.

Chapters are targeted at around 2 hours of play each, and will involve dialing into BBS's, chatting with strangers, playing games, and solving the (rare) errors that your new computer throws at you.

Camp Muck-Rungler also marks a move from Unity to Unreal, and learning C++ for this took some time.

My goal is to return with Port Imagination a year after the fourth chapter of this game releases, so those of you who were looking forward to that will hopefully get something better than you would have if PI was coming out this year.

I hope to keep you updated as CMR advances.
