Killmonday Games started with the idea of achieving creative freedom in the form of video games. Interactive experiences that would explore life in-itself, and with it play and the whole range of feelings. As you know, we have released two games, Fran Bow and Little Misfortune, giving us economic freedom. After the release of Little Misfortune, we wanted to expand the company, from being two people, Isak and I, to a larger team, so we could release something more complex. The journey into expanding the company was incredibly scary and difficult, as none of us had previous experience being company owners and for that matter, bosses. We just wanted to create! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33917899/d931a23800ffc30c9dc8c90e5d82d7c16e0ce05b.gif Details from the project "Benjamin Game" To make possible the goal of expanding the company to later create more complex games, Isak and I got to take the role of “boss” and start guiding others to understand our vision. But things were not as expected. There were a lot of Human Resources matters to attend. With more people we needed better communication skills. We needed to understand how to delegate and how to navigate the everyday with feedback, guidance and creativity. I saw the need to study, to gain insights on how things could be done. I read several books about company building, management systems and how to be a better leader. I attended a few courses in leadership both digitally and on sight. All of this, while also keeping an eye on the team as individuals, guiding the game projects we were creating and managing the Killmonday Shop. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33917899/a45e7ba28f6e090c3391bf48cd1c0dc8d6d0391d.gif Details from the project "Fran Bow 2" My body was becoming a sad, angry, resentful husk, as I got less and less help from my partner, as the system to drive the company became more complex. Isak was withdrawing from the responsibility as the stress was eating him alive. And indeed, I have no idea how I kept carrying this goal forward for so long myself. I was tired and saw no meaning in a lot of things I was doing, but it was for the “greater good”. The bigger game! While I was getting sicker and sicker. And this is due to my incapability to ask for help, open up and show myself vulnerable. I wasn’t able to ask for the right support and I was being a people pleaser with my employees. *Side note: This made them respect me less and less. We did achieve a lot of things during this period, though, but my energy wasn’t keeping up and it wasn’t sustainable. And many of the projects weren’t completed either. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33917899/666e8bfb880e57015b1216cf08e3b420fc6da520.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33917899/64bca406293a1534ec01cd82d0efc248dded8571.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33917899/c1ffa4c08172c34c6edce6340c3ea8424344347a.png Details from Fran Bow Chapter 6 I was focused on achieving, to feel more secure about myself, my worth. To feel more loved or accepted. And it shames me to r...FRAN BOW VINYL FIGURE PETITIONNov 13, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFor a long time, many of you have asked if we ever are going to do figurines of Fran Bow! And now this dream could become a reality! As we previously worked with Makeship on a couple of plushies, we got an opportunity to run this petition, to see if we, together with you guys, could make a vinyl figure happen. But before we can start, we need 500 people to pledge for the Fran Bow figurine in order to get the design and production going! LINK TO THE PETITION THE PROCESS THE PETITION PHASE During this week (7 days) starting today 13 Nov 2023 20:00 CET we will have a petition for the vinyl figure HERE. If you would like a vinyl figure of Fran Bow you can pledge for the petition One pledge is $2 USD and we need 500 for the petition to be a success. You can pledge up to 5 times, meaning 5 x $2 USD If the petition fails, you will get the money you pledged back. When you pledge you will also need to pre-authorize a future payment for the vinyl figure, note that the total amount of times you pledge equals the amount of figures you will buy when the campaign launches. (See example down below) THE CAMPAIGN PHASE If we reach the petition goal after these 7 days. We will start the design process of the vinyl figure. When the design process is done a campaign (like the plushie campaigns) will launch on Makeship. The new vinyl figure campaign will launch fully funded. When the campaign launches we will announce it on our social media, here on Steam and in our newsletter. If you have pledged the vinyl figure during the petition phase, you will now be charged the retail price ($ 29.99 USD + shipping and tax fees) on the same day the vinyl figure campaign goes live on Makeship! You will also get the petition deposit as a discount on your order. EXAMPLE: You have made 3 pledges during the petition (3 x $2 USD = $6 USD) you will then be charged for 3 pieces of the Vinyl figure when the campaign launches at Makeship. (3 x $29,99 USD + shipping and tax fees) but also get a discount of $2 USD for each figure on your order which is the Petition Deposit you previously made. We hope this opportunity sounds as exciting for you as it is for us! Let’s make this happen!

Everyday we get the question: Fran Bow on consoles, when? And we wanted to let you know that: While we have been working on it on and off, for a long time. We have recently dedicated ourselves to making sure it finally gets completed! And as for the answer to “when?”, let me tell you a story. We all know Covid changed everything and we at Killmonday weren’t the exception. When Covid hit, we got into a long period of adjustment and just that made it impossible for us to keep the deadlines we had promised. We got to learn new ways of communicating and laying out the projects. And during this adjustment a lot got lost in translation. And with the challenges of the pandemic, the stress got the worst of us. We didn’t manage to communicate properly, we started to go different directions, not prioritizing the things that we had already begun. We have been working on too many projects at the same time and communication wasn’t really working between managers. That had the whole company going forward producing a lot for the “Benjamin game” but not finishing what we had started, which was the Fran Bow port to consoles and the extra chapter of Fran Bow. Now things are different, and we are more connected than ever before! We have gathered all forces to finalize the Fran Bow port to consoles and the game is finally getting into Quality Assurance times! Fran Bow is expected to be released on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The release date for the port/extra chapter is still TBD. Instead of promising a release date and failing to meet it, we want to take our time and ship the game when it is ready." We still need to fix bugs, polish, balance out sound design and overall UI inputs as we are adding control/gamepad support, a slightly new UI design. For the Fran Bow port on consoles, we want to keep it as close to the original as possible and wow! That has been quite the journey! Many have asked us; but what is so hard about porting the game? We were faced with the challenge of learning a new coding language to make the port. To translate the game from GameMaker language to Unity 3D language (C#) was a long journey. And then, we needed to re-do every single piece of code and arrange the game’s art, animation and sound design. Then, there were rumors about a “DLC” or a “new chapter” or “Fran Bow 2” about Fran Bow. Let me tell you another story… As we developed the extra chapter, we have decided to do a standalone game instead. It will be a short game, but nonetheless filled with Fran Bow wackiness and the amazing universe. We will get to know more about the Ultrareality, and we will explore deeper into Fran’s role as a keeper of the key. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9582121/fbe7d0a9354c1c823d2491ace70d382708aaa437.gif Jica walking to the convenience store.
