Hi! I wanted to put out an update to share a bit of what’s been going on with Diaries in the months since launch. But first, I want to apologize for the low amount of communication during that time.
Sundae Month is a small company and there’s only one member of the Diaries team still working on the project (that’s me, Izzie). Our first steam release has been exciting, inspiring, and also overwhelming. I’m sorry that the state of the game or our plans for it haven’t always been clear. I’m a part-time developer working full-time at a grocery store, and I’m still getting used to striking that balance.
I also want to announce that we are doing some final updates on the game! We’ll be patching a few known issues and rolling out a special content update, so stay tuned for patch notes in further announcements.
Over the past six months since the game launched, Sundae Month has been super busy. Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor won Best 3D Art at Montreal Independent Games Festival in September. In October we won Best Story/World Design at Indiecade in Los Angeles, and last week we were honored to be nominees for Best Student Game and the Nuovo award at the Independent Games Festival at GDC, as well as an honorable mention for Best Sound Design. It’s been incredible and overwhelming to see people’s response to the game and have the opportunity to travel far from our wintery home in Vermont.
We have been hard at work on other projects, including Dad Quest (out now on early access) and another game that we’re getting ready to announce. Considering many of us are students too, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind.
Finally, I just wanted to deeply & personally thank everyone who has supported us and played the game, shared it on social media, drawn fan art, and just generally brought this ancient mazelike city to life. It hasn’t always been an easy journey for us, and you make it all worth it. Thank you! -izzie james shasha
Seriously go play Dairies of a Spaceport Janitor. It’s amazing and deserves more attention than it’s getting. The MC is adorable and deserves to be happy.
We’re raking up all the Diaries fanart we can find into a great big pile this week! @droolingdemon‘s take on the Janitor has some great details. Just look at those grabbers! Look at her teephs! Look at that groovy Skull! <3
