Breaking the silence. What's actually going on?


TL;DR: Game is not cancelled, its my magnum opus after all. I just lost my motivation. (and... preparing something new to show).


Hey everyone, Retro here, I think it's time to answer the question: Why is there no progress? Where is the battle with sans? Why the battle is "TAKING TOO LONG"? Well, there are a few things worth talking about.

  • Team members: Yes, this is the most problematic part, most of the team members are leaving now or can't pay attention to this game, mainly due to other projects or personal lives, but even those who are on the team simply do not even respond, zero responses. I don't feel anger, I just feel upset about all this, and I hope they're fine. Don't forget that team applications are still open...

  • My motivation and personal life: This point partially stems from the first. Unfortunately, my motivation is going down. Even with free time, I can't force myself to work on this fangame. I've been learning to make games in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 for 7 years, and I'm terrified that any action I take in this game will result the corruption of game files (like what happened with one of the first versions of Game Over, when one sound file simply destroyed the frame's functionality). Imagine that the game gets bigger and bigger, and the code becomes unstable. Would you afraid too? My nerves are not made of vibranium, I am also a human, I have my own problems, like studying, drawing sprites, playing videogames, or watching anime and movies.

  • Laziness: Yes, it's that simple. You're not the only one who wants to do nothing.


What now?: I will leave my dream project, that I've been working since 2022, on hold, till I'll either find more team members, or be sure that I am be ready to return. This fangame WILL NOT BE CANCELLED, I can't just leave everything that has been done, I don't want all this progress and time spent to be in vain... I just can't... In the meantime, I'll be working on short fangame that will get an announcement soon...
