i really dont know what the fuck i'm gonna do with this game. the concept of working on this game has been a nightmare to me for well over a year at this point, development's so slow but there's still so much left to make. it's like climbing a mountain for three years only to look up and not even be able to see the top.
and at this point i don't even think it's worth reaching the top. i'm proud of a lot of the things i've made, but as a whole, this journey has become meaningless to me. it's just a chore now, something that i need to work on because there's people who are waiting to play it. or, at least, i assumed there were.
at this point i don't feel like there is anyone who's still waiting on this game. desire with this game isn't popularity--that's nice, but it's never been my goal as a developer. however my desire isn't to finish it for myself either. it's to finish it for the people who have followed these games and want to see this last one too. but by now i have doubts that those people are interested too.
it's been close to two and a half years since i first announced this game. i've barely had the patience to work on this game myself, i'd be surprised if most people eager to see this game have had the patience to not move on yet themselves. plus, most people who this game was meant for were on scratch, and since the game's no longer releasing there, a significant number of them might never get to play this game.
and, really, what is it worth getting this game done if there's nobody who wants to play it? it'd be like creating a theater play for years only to perform it to an empty crowd. unless you have a desire to finish it for yourself, it becomes meaningless. and i sure don't.
