so

i know earlier i just asked about a possible android version

but
i really wanna confess smth and say that

working on this, even the side demo, as a whole has been burning me the hell out trying to work on

as of now, i'm gonna keep the project on an indefinite hiatus. As for the side demo, if you're seeing this post, then presumably i've released the demo in its unfinished state, in attempt to give you all at least something as a sort of parting gift of sorts.

All of the other planned routes will instead lead to the crash screen initially planned for only One Route of the side demo, seeing as those aren't even made yet.

Is the game cancelled?

No, this project is not cancelled, not by a long shot, but working on this has burned me out to the point that trying to make myself work on it constantly like this has not been fun to me, and i need a break from working on this as a whole and i might take it early and now

i'm very, very sorry to those who were expecting a longer, more finished demo, even if it were just a side project, and i understand if you're disappointed with this, i'm genuinely just burnt out as a whole. I do hope you at least enjoy what all is actually in here, even if none of it really correlates to the actual story i planned for the main game itself.

What's Next?

I don't know what i'll be doing in the meantime, but i'm definitely taking a break from this project and leaving it to the side, seeing as i'm burnt out.

If i ever pick this back up, i will be learning to use GameMaker Studio 2, and will continue the project in there. However, that isn't to say i won't do some test projects of my own first before i do so. What they will be, i'm not sure. When they will come to be, i'm also unsure, but i'll hopefully come back to this game.

Someday.

Until then, i'll see you all on the other side. Take care, everyone. I'll be around on other socials if you would like to keep updated on future endeavors.
