Hey all, it's been some time again, after creating the poll in October and having a ton of time to think; it's very likely now that the planned extra content will be a separate thing added later on.

That way the focus is mainly on the core game, and to help things become less confusing and complicated when the game does eventually release.

I have high hopes that 2022 should be the release year for this fangame, I had originally had this year in mind, but certain parts of the game had to be redesigned from scratch after certain concepts failed in practice, concepts that became way too convoluted to implement into a 2D engine like Clickteam.

I do want to make more in-depth updates about the game, but I just want to keep a lot of it somewhat unknown until the game is released. Sort of a double-edged sword there.

I will keep it real with you all as well, my motivation hasn't been super high at points in the development of this game (you can probably tell), but it has definitely been there to an enormous degree at times too. There's been moments where I haven't had the energy to work on the game, and just an overwhelming feeling of burn-out & stress at certain periods. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from with this.

Previous fangames of mine tended to be very easy to make, because a lot of game's segments were repeated and didn't change all that much. The main alterations in those games being that certain characters became active at a later point in the night(s). This game is a bit different, and takes the player to different areas and locations throughout. So it's a lot more adverse when it comes to working with it all.

All in all, I am still very much determined to see this project through to the end, around 80-85% of the game itself is finished; with just the last few bits of the game needing to be fully developed and created. I'll certainly get there eventually, it's just a matter of time.

That's mainly it for now, I just wanted to get somethings off of my chest. Regardless, I hope you're all doing well and I look forward to what the future may hold.

Peace for now.

TL;DR

The game is still actively being worked on, but my motivation hasn't been too great. Still determined to see everything through regardless, as I want to see this fangame finalised & complete.
