Howdy. It's been a while since I've really talked about this project, and where it lies in my headspace.
I would be a liar if I said I was still happy to work on this game.
I will stand by my promises, and I won't ever cancel this game, and one day, in the future, I'm sure my inspiration and excitement to work on it will return, but to be honest, that might be a good ways down the line.
I made Together when the hype around Undertale AU's hit it's peak, and I gathered some support in the months afterwards, and things have constantly been escalating ever since.
Part of me is incredibly grateful for all the support and kindness shown by you guys over the last 4 years. I never ever thought that I'd make ANYTHING with any sort of a following like this, let alone the the scale it reached, yet I did. Not alone, of course, this project would have never been anything more than an idea, and some lazy sprites- had the team not joined me.
All that being said, the downfall of when I decided to make Together, is that I didn't account for my interest and hype eventually fizzling out so hard. Working on an Undertale AU can be incredibly restrictive, in a lot of ways, which was always frustrating. I always felt like I had to keep characters feeling incredibly canon, yet canon seemed to be a matter of opinion. On top of that, I felt guilty not being able to pay the team, since I couldn't make money off of Together.
Something else happened recently, as well, which killed off my interest. It's no secret now that I've been thorugh 4 or 5 hard drives, and I recently got myself a proper desktop, not just a laptop, so any and all work (aside from the soundtrack) is all gone. Plus, when I lost access to my Discord account 2 months ago, the person who took my account deleted every server I was in (including the Together server.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
All this being said, I've recently felt the strong urge to work on an original project, and we're barely leaving the infancy stage of our project, but I'll be making a Game Jolt page soon, so keep your eyes peeled~
The game is going to be of a similar feeling to games like Mother 3, and Deltarune, so those interested in Together will feel fairly at home there, as well. More details will come soon, but for now, I'll just leave this here for you all to read.
Stay safe, thank you for all the support. And remember to take care of yourself, because we all care about you.
~ Mikeera, and all of Team Together
