The future of SquareScape

Hey guys! I wanted to have a little rep session about the future of SquareScape and porting it to other operating systems like Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, etc. I've also been thinking about when/if I'm going to make a game page on other platforms like Steam so I can really make SquareScape a legit game. I've also highly considered porting the game to mobile stores such as the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. But, as some of you may know, that takes just one thing: Money! I'm not really in a position where I can spend loads of my own money, since I'm still in highschool and I don't have a job. (other then doing lawn care and other stuff around the house for my parents) 

My plan is to make some money off of itch.io for a while and maybe when I've made enough money I can create a steam dev account and release it on steam. A game costs $100 per game to post on Steam, the Play Store costs $20 for a dev account, then there are no charges for posting more apps, and I think Apple charges $100 a year for a dev account, yikes.. The costs aren't that bad, most of them don't burn a hole in your pocket (except Apple, which of course has to burn a hole in your pocket for everything they sell) and shouldn't be too much of a problem. 

Other then price, I need to consider which platform would be more reasonable and effective. Before I consider that, I need to think about what kind of game SquareScape is, who would play it, for how long, and who/what would be willing to play it once and come back to it again. Currently, SquareScape is more of an idea or a testing game. It's not very content/feature-rich yet so there wouldn't be any point in spending a boat load of money in a game that isn't even 1. known or 2. finished 3. fun.

SquareScape has a long way to go before it can actually be considered a real game. There are tons of things I'm currently working on, things I need to change and so on. I really don't know how long I'm going to be working on this because I don't really know if it's gonna get anywhere even if I tried really hard to make it into a good game. I guess if i make the right moves and try my best to make it into a real, successful game, I could turn it into a real, successful game.

Thanks for reading! See you next devlog!
