How are things going...?

So, for the 10 people who care about this, I just want to make a little developer log, which I've been doing less. Usually I like to keep my profile clean and remove anything that is currently irrelevant, many devlogs and fun posts are the dupe of this. That is probably not gonna exclude this post by the way. I'd like to keep my stuff clear and simple as to not confuse people with all the unecessary B.S.

Now, what is it I am planning for this year? Well, for those who are close enough to me know that I had a previous account by the name of Welvin. With this current account I am more careful with what I post, create and do. You and I both know how disrespectful and ignorant some people can be these days.

The way things are changing...

My personal opinion on the way I make games and what I enjoy has changed a lot over this previous year. I've learned a lot about game development and what NOT to do. Though I like FOB as a game and was really hyped to release it to the public, it was clear to me that this was NOT what people wanted from me. I know many people sticked to my account and started following me because of Wonderland Delusion, and I agree, it ain't a bad game. However, I tried to make it so many times and was never able to quite land the diamond I did before. This proofed me that whilst I really want to make it (and maybe I will someday) I just can't do it at the moment.

See, these last 2 years have been absolute bad luck and shitty for me and my personal life. I progressed, but don't feel that way, and because of that it makes it harder for me to stay inspired to make the next new big game. I've been striving really hard to make the next new game, but I keep on cancelling all of it because I am not happy with it (I am a perfectionist after all) and once I finally WAS able to release something, that being FOB, people barely played it. This was a very unmotivating period and I am still suffering from it. So, I took a break, continued, took a break... you get what I mean.

My next project...!

Now, I AM making something of a game right now, of course I am, and compared to everything else, this finally gives me motivation because it is unlike ANYTHING else I have ever made before. At first I didn't think it was possible, scrapped the idea, and put it aside for a while. Once I lost all hope of game development I was rumbling through my old scrapped projects and found this thing again, I picked it back up and was now finally able to lay peace in my mind to work and finish it.

Now, unlike all my other projects, this is not based on stories and characters, instead it focuses on gameplay and visuals. I do have some great and fitting story and general gameplay ideas for what this could be used for, but I haven't put all my focus on it. I'm taking a @Zrox-Games-ZFuel approach. This guy always knows how to make fun gameplay in his games, of course he makes sure to give his games a good story, but the gameplay always surprises me. I'm changing it up for once.

Of course I am not saying that this WILL be the next BIG GAME. In fact, I expect people to not give a crap, but at least I got to try something new and maybe then... I'll make a WD2. For now though, I am hoping to take things easy game development-wise as I've been struggling a little lately.

I hope you understand and I hope to be able to give you guys what you want. Of course you can always leave tips down below.
