End Of The Line


Hey everyone. I know Oct. has come and gone with zero mention of a demo.

Initially, this was just down to needing a little more time to finalize and fix things, and on the initial draft I had written for this I stated I was still hard at work on it and that a demo would be out within two weeks minimum, sometime this month.

Unfortunately, that work has now come to a complete halt due to something out of my control.

I really hate to make these posts personal in any way, but I might not have a home to live in by next week due to no fault of my own. That's the point things have gotten to within my personal life. The past 3 weeks have become hellish for me and my sibling. I'm looking into what options I have but it doesn't seem like there's any I really can do. There is a lot of context I am leaving out of this - lots of family drama that I had to (and still have to) be in the middle of.

Obviously, with all of this going down, I'm not going to be able to work on this much further, if at all.

I was working towards having a place I could fully call my own at some point but it seems like the time I had is up.

I hate writing this because I was putting everything I had into this game. I was excited for people to play it, and I was pulling all-nighters just to try to get this demo done. It hurts to know that all of that might have just gone to waste now.

I have genuinely no idea what I'm going to do. I know this isn't the typical sort of status update that I usually post, but I feel people should know - because what was initially a short delay on a demo has now turned into potentially a permanent delay on me ever even continuing to work on this. People have been asking me where the demo is and knowing the fact it'll likely be a long time before there even is one now, I feel you all should know what's been happening.

I'll be attaching some images of what I had been working on up to this point just so I don't leave everyone totally empty handed. I had debated maybe downsizing the demo and just try to get something out there before I lose the chance to, might still try, but ultimately I just don't think I have enough time, and it wouldn't be up to my standards.

The game itself is not cancelled, and I doubt it ever will because I have been trying for years to bring this project to reality. That being said, I likely won't be active for a while going forward for obvious reasons. I might never get the chance to finish this.

Thank you to everyone who was along for the ride, and I hope at some point I can return to this. It's looking unlikely I'll be able to for a long time, but if I get the chance again, I will finish it.

I am trying to figure out what options I have. I might end up having to set up a crowdfunding thing but I really don't want to. I don't want to have to ask any of you for anything.

Thank you guys for everything and take care. I hope I get to see all of you again soon sometime in the future. Sorry I couldn't get this done in time.
