Game
LISA: The Pointless - Scholar of the Wilbur Sin Edition

3 years ago

Hello, everyone.

With a heavy heart, I announce today that Scholar's last major update is being heavily reduced in size. What this means: the second part of the update has been cancelled, and the first has been truncated. More details below.


Recently, it came to my attention that the passion for working on this mod had gone out of my heart. After all, as of this post, I have been working on it nonstop for over a year while simultaneously juggling school and other projects, including the actual LISA: The Pointless. The sheer number of ideas I have had for this mod is nearly innumerable, and as I worked on this update, they continued to pile on at a rate much faster than the actual production of the game. Eventually, I saw the writing on the wall; with how much I wanted to add to the update, it would never get done. It would become its own "Monster Update," a game that tested the limits of its creators as they struggled to keep up with its ever-expanding contents. It was at that moment that I knew I could continue down that path no longer. It was too much.

So, what does this mean in brief? Well, this update won't be as gigantic as I wanted it to be. The entire second part that I had planned is being discontinued, even in spite of the work that has been done for it. It is a true shame, but this takes a monumental weight off me and the rest of the team's shoulders. The main game update will still be happening, though some content from it is being cut. Despite this, I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised to see just how much new there is to discover.

Following the release of the update, I will slowly elucidate on the nature of what was lost in the creation of this update. Scholar's very own cutting room floor. There will be a lot to cover, so expect to see weekly or biweekly posts at that point!

And that is all I have to say, other than that I am sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. I will reiterate just so there is absolutely no confusion: the main game update has not been cancelled, just reduced a bit. There is still something to look forward to. Still, I apologize for promising something that I could not deliver in the end. Thank you all for your continued support, and I will see you again very soon.

School has once again become a serious blockade to progress, but it is being made, albeit slowly. Many minor additions have been made, including: new and reworked moves, fixed bugs, and a general overhaul of the mod's balancing. Exciting stuff!

Ah, the innocence of youth.

Many new secrets of the past await in the next content update. Will you uncover them...?

Hi, everyone! Today, as I promised prior to Version 1.5's launch, I will be showing off some content that was scrapped due to the downgraded scale of the update. Look below for more details on what was planned!

We've officially crossed the threshold. After a stressful period of rapid implementation and bugfixing, I can confidently say we are moving on to the last stages of development.

Wait patiently, my friends! The time draws near!

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to give a little info on the next update, since it's been a while: it will be released in two parts. The first is an overhaul of the base mod to tweak and add many new things. The second will be something... else. You'll see...

So, now that the hype of the initial release has died down, I'm happy to say there is still more on the way. For now, the regular updates will cease (barring the discovery of a major glitch), but rest assured, big things are coming. Stay tuned...

Hello, everybody! I am very excited to announce the release of the 1.5 update for Scholar of the Wilbur Sin! This will be the final major content addition for the game. The team and I worked ourselves half to death on this; so please, enjoy!

Development inches closer and closer to completion as the final new areas are implemented into the mod. After all of that is done, it will be on to playtesting, and then to release. Stay tuned, everyone!

P.S.: Yes, I saw the MU intro, and yes, it's hype.

Lovely night to look out on the horizon, isn't it? And on the horizon, February approaches... Stay tuned, my friends!

Hi, everyone! We here at the SotWS team have been hard at work getting the game's final update ready. No promises, but it'll be done sooner than you think! In the meantime, here are some not-so-friendly faces that didn't quite make the cut for the update.
