- New Year—New Update! - 6 January 2023
Happy New Year! May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions! Before we begin with the update, we want to take a moment to thank you all for your patience and support over the years. We know this project is long past its expected delivery date. So, we are tremendously grateful you are giving us space to finish the development in our own time. We have used the holiday break to take a moment to reflect on how the development of 3 Minutes to Midnight has been so far, where we currently stand, and what awaits us during the final stretch of development. A bit of retrospect… Did you know that back in 2016 when the original idea for 3 Minutes to Midnight was conceived, we had quite a different concept in mind? 3 Minutes to Midnight was supposed to be a linear game with one ending, one solution per puzzle, and approximately six hours of gameplay. The initial release date wa…
- The Wait Is Almost Over! - 28 December 2021
Hello, everyone! With our last update being so long ago, we are sure quite a few of you are wondering what we have been up to these past few months. Well, better get comfortable because we have some news for you! One of our highest priorities was to wrap up the script so we could move forward with both voice acting and translations and test that all lines show up in the game correctly. With a good amount of blood, sweat, and no shortage of tears (again), we can finally say our script is 100% done! As a frame of reference, the script for Monkey Island 3 sits at around 56,000 words. Ours is over six times that amount, capping at roughly 355,000 words. That was the main reason it took us so long to finish, review, and proofread, ensuring it was all up to snuff. Along with the script, testing has been moving forward quite nicely too. Since January, over 40 testers have played through the ga…
- We haven’t stopped working since the last update! - 7 May 2021
Our team is still teleworking, and Spain continues to close municipal borders and restrict travel, making the development process take longer than we anticipated. That’s the bad news. The good news, however, is that the end of development for 3 Minutes to Midnight is in sight! We’re both happy and sad to be almost finished. The first half of the game is currently in the testing phase, and our programmers are hard at work finishing up the second half. Due to all the different paths, solutions, and choices the player can make, testing is a massive undertaking. We expect it to take several months to complete that phase of the project. To give you an idea of how in-depth our testing process is, it took our team of testers between 8 and 18 hours each to finish Chapter 1. Since our game has five chapters, some more puzzle-heavy than others, it’s gonna take us a lot of work, coffee, and time t…
- It might be 3 Minutes to Midnight, but we have 24 hours left! - 7 November 2019
Hello, you wonderful people! As you probably know, we are now live on Kickstarter. However, what you might not know is that our project has already been successfully funded, and what you most likely don’t know is that there are only 24 hours remaining on the countdown of this particular doomsday clock and many stretch goals to meet! See, we really don’t want to push you into things, but if you haven’t backed us yet, now might be a good time! Now, whether you want to help us meet our stretch goals because you want the game in your native language, are very curious about what this deal with these evil chipmunks is, or because you’re just in a generous mood today, please know you have our utmost gratitude! Just remember, this will be your last chance to get these amazing rewards. Because after the campaign is over, they’ll be gone for good! Scarecrow Studio
