Hey all, So, it's been a year and no post. Big apologies to anyone who's still interested in the project. I have some news for anyone still with us.

First, we're moving to a new page. This is mostly because many years ago I made the mistake of posting the game on my own GameJolt page. This is not a solo effort, I'm merely the one coding the fangame. There are several other talented people working on this with me, including GuardianMobius, who wrote the original story the fangame is based off of and is directing this project. I've been kicking myself for so long for being too lazy to give public credit on the page (I always intended on including names in the in-game credits). I even went as far as to make a new account to represent the team as a whole. Unfortunately, GameJolt does not seem to allow direct transfer of ownership of a game page from one account to another, so I must make a new page altogether. I'd also rename this account but I've used it for personal purposes (commenting, purchases, achievements) that I don't want to associate with the team as a whole. Here is the link to the new page: https://gamejolt.com/games/sonic-exe-darkest-struggles/919137. If you're still interested in the project, please follow that page and that account. I do not plan on posting to this page any further (except perhaps upon the full game's release), and I will probably be unlisting/"cancelling" the game. I won't delete the page only so existing links can continue to work, unless this gets my account/the game flagged.

Second, the main reason for the hiatus is simply because a lot of us have been busy with other stuff (life, school, work, other projects). I was especially busy as I took one too many college classes during the last semester which left me no time to get any work done, and I've also been dealing with mild burnout again.

Finally, GuardianMobius wanted me to share an announcement she made on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/guardianmobius/journal/Sonic-EXE-Darkest-Struggles-News-1136427649

Thanks for sticking with us for so long.
