Hey there everyone, it's been awhile since I last posted a devlog, there's something I have to tell you all. I've worked on Ed Edd n Eddy Rpg since 2012 I started the project in vx ace 3 years after the series finale of ed edd n eddy at the time the ed edd n eddy fandom was still alive well sorta as time passed the fandom fell apart with many ed edd n eddy fan sites closing down the only one remaining is the ed fanon wiki, when I restarted development of the game in mz and gotten the first demo done a thought was going through my mind on whether or not this game should still see life if it's even worth all the hard work cause many people who played the 3rd demo back in 2015 have moved on heck there's only one youtuber who did a full lets play of the mz demo, it doesn't feel like there really is much interest in the project anymore and given how long this game is and given how I don't really have the time anymore these days being busy with other things and not to mention the lack of a talented development team to take some of the workload off of me.
I'm just not sure if this project's worth it anymore the interest in ed edd n eddy fan games is dead, people have moved on. I think if I had internet back in the day when I was a kid and access to a game development engine and started making an ed edd n eddy rpg game it probably would've gone much smoother but unfortunately it wasn't the case I don't know if this project is worth saving at this point too much time has past and what little hype this game had has now been gone.
I'm really sorry for the disappointing news everyone especially since I just restarted development last year but at least I got the first demo for mz done which was demo 4 of the vx ace game rebuilt I really liked how it turned out its not exactly easy to rebuild everything from the ground up though I was using the vx ace build as a reference, it's just a shame that I was too late I don't know if I'm gonna outright cancel the project or not but theres a chance it could be, as for whether or not a new engine can revived interests well given that no one seemed to care about cory's unreal engine remake of the game the answer is no, the problem isn't the engine the problem is that the ed edd n eddy fandom has long since moved on there's a reason why ed edd n eddy fan games now get hardly any attention because the fandom has move on to other things the show's been over for about 13 years at this point and given how long that I've been working on this project completing it might not be worth it.
Anyways that's pretty much what I have to say I'm sorry that this devlog is depressing but this has been something that's been going through my mind for quite awhile. For everyone who played and followed this game for so long I thank you I'm sorry that I'm at this point in my mental state about this game I do love this game but I also know that it's too late now for this game to get finished I took too long I was just too late.
