Got a final update on the Western Game Chart I'm creating. Don't you just love it how this keeps popping up from time to time even tho you thought you got rid of it, like a bad STD?
If anyone who follows it remembers, I have had many grievances about my graphic designer(main reason why this is taking so long). I finally dumped him a while back after it came to my attention he was just straight up taking fetish commissions instead of working on mine. I had no clue he was a degenerate, but so many other things started making more sense there.
Thankfully, I've been working on this on my own for some time now, just in case(like I should have to begin with). Unfortunately, due to my inexperience with graphic design and lack of free time, the progress has been glacial, but I am happy to announce I am almost finished. Since I am not dependent on anyone anymore, I can finally confirm that with 100% certainty and more importantly I have reached out to even more people and influencers about the chart. I am hoping this will go viral once complete, but if not, at the very least I know a few guaranteed places it will be appreciated.
That said, one of the last orders of business is the "Honorable Mentions" section. I've been thinking about how to do this for some time, and I settled on several grids of 5, with a slide all to it's own. Most of the games on there are taken from the original(aka shitty) chart that has been already completed for some time, so once mine is finished that one will truly be obsolete. I added a few other games I thought were worthy of mentioning that didn't make it to the main 10 per year, but I still got one row that I have space for, before I start wrapping this up.
If anyone is familiar with the project, they should know which games were on the chart. This is one final chance, if there was something you wanted to get on there, from any year between 1992-2023, now is your chance. The activity on the board has massively dropped off from when I came here last time and a faggot mod might delete this post, but if not then feel free to suggest something. With how dead the board is, I will likely just take 5 first suggestions I come across, and if not then I will fill out the last ones myself.
Lastly, since nothing is set in stone anymore, I managed to make some changes when looking at every entry again. Notably, Uncharted has been removed when I looked back on every single game released that year and I found Portal more fitting choice(It is also an opportunity to include Orange Box in the description, without adding it outright like it has been in the older chart controversially).
I'm not giving out any dates anymore since that has proven to be a disaster, but I think it's possible I can finish this by the end of the year if I skip out on some holiday festivities(not like I have anything planned for this year anyways). If not, then early 2024 will do just fine. I am thinking of polishing that Space Game Chart I released a while back, changing the font and adding in extra games, but that would be a bonus and not something I guarantee. If I did finish it, both would be released together and send to influencers at the same time.
