*Note: Screenshots shown here were near final versions of Update 0.2.0.*

Explanation:

Without a team, I'm not sure how I can work to Update 2 again. With a team, not only will the update be able to be redone, but it will recreate even better. I may have to let go of this project. Even though I was only a week away from releasing this update, this project was years of love and work, this will be sad to let go if I can not provide the resources to make this project happen. Not sure if I am allowed to have a donation tab for the developer and not the game since paying for sprites that have now been lost were quite devastating to my set budget, that really doesn't matter to me, just the fact that so much work has been erased. Anyway, if you would like access to the 0.1.0 project files, please be sure to direct message me on discord DoomBurger#0603. This version of the game was slightly after 0.1.0, but does have lots of bugs still that were fixed in 0.2.0. I love you all and your support has fueled me to keep going, but something as tragic as this… well, I am not sure that there is very much that I can do. A lot has happened in my life, and this has made my life just a bit crazier. I have been gone for so long working on this update, talking to the programmers of the engine (thanks Nuri Yuri, Rey, and many more). Again, I am sorry to disappoint, I understand your disappointment as I am the most disappointed with myself. I came with a promise just to follow suit with bad news. I am as no good as the next developer that promises a full PC Pokémon experience. This is really starting to turn into some sort of cliché.

The Future:

Currently, I am starting to work on a game that was a side project and with this incident, is now my main priority. This project is a 2D Beat Em Up style game with swords, magic, spells, and items where you play with your friends. I cannot give any more details than that, but I can say that development is looking great and is a game that I have full creative freedom in. The team is small with only two people. So, if you are interested in helping as an experienced artist or as a C# programmer who would like a percent of the game's revenue at launch or if you even have a good idea for the name of the game, my discord is the best place to contact me.

Thank you Game Jolt communities! I thank you for the time I have had here if Thunder and Lightning does not work out. I also still hope that you can support my future projects, thank you!
