So, it's been over 2 and a half years since I released the part 1 demo.

Yes, it's been that long.

The reason why it's been so long and only a small section of the second chapter has actually been finished isn't because making it is just that hard. If we compare Chapter 1's pacing to Chapter 2's, we've essentially only just entered the city.

It isn't just because I've been remaking or re-working concepts, which takes time.

It isn't because I've been lazy.

It's because I'm too ambitious. I try to do too many things, and get involved in things with time pressure. It's because I'm spontaneous, and it's because I try to put at least decent effort into everything I do.

I'm glad I've taken this much time. I've changed and grown a lot as a person and an artist since I started this project. If I had finished this game 2 years, or even 1 year ago, it wouldn't be half as good as I think it will be now.

But I don't need to make it even better. (that's my metaphorical way of saying take more time)

Yes, I am going to re-work the combat. Yes, I am going to be putting effort into other things. I'm actually right now going to set everything up so I have an animated sticker pack ready as soon I have the ability to release them. I want to make sure I have everything ready for the GJ Creator shop this week if I can. And I mean absolutely everything I need!

Yes, I'm still going to join the Grid SMP when it starts. Yes I still want to do cool lore stuff and big farms with it.

Yes, I still want to do some stuff on my private little MC world I've been playing on with some friends.

Yes, I'm still going to do some music for Five Nights at Game Jolts.

Yes, I still want to do fan art fridays.

Yes I.... still want to bring back GUIDANCE shorts, do special thankyous for everyone, stream some other games, I certainly am going to continue GMing that game I'm GMing at the moment, Yes I want to I-

Like-

Do you feel me?

YES I'M STILL REWATCHING THE ENTIRETY OF ATTACK ON TITAN TRYING TO AVOID SPOILERS

AND ALL THE OTHER ANIME I WANNA WATCH XD

Jesus I mean, like-

Do you feel me?

But damnit all, I can do all those things, but not while giving my full attention to GUIDANCE.

I love ALL of these things, and I want to fully give them all my heart.

But only one of those things is my dream.

So I guess, what I'm really saying is, I want to start putting GUIDANCE first!

This game started September 2021. The part 1 demo came out March 2022. And here we are now, November 6th, 2023.

I don't regret it, not one bit. Like I said, the game wouldn't be what it is and will be now if not for the amount of time spent.

But that time spent doesn't need to be any longer.

I know it's only November, but I already know what my new years resolution is. And I know I can do it.

There might yet be something new and playable before the year is out, but we'll have to wait and see. I refuse to rush this, but I'm going to be giving it my full attention from here on out.

I love this game, and I'm going to make it the best I possiblu can!

If you're reading this, thankyou for getting this far. It means a lot.

I think that'll be all from me for now, as I'm off to...

Follow my heart.

(and you do the same)
