Wow fellas, it really has been a seriously long time. So long in fact that this game has not gotten any update post in over a year.

But tonight, that changes.

As all of you know, this project has been in the works for a while, but barely any updates have been posted on this game page. The exact reasons are pretty detailed, but if you want a thorough explanation as in regards to my radio silence, my 2025 end of year post will explain that. But to put it simply:

I've been through a lot. But that's okay!

Despite everything that has happened to me, I will continue to work on this project. In fact, despite the lack of updates, this project has a huge amount of work on it! So much so that I'd argue about 65-70% of the game is finished!

The reason why its taken as long as it has, besides personal issues in my life, is due to me making some bad decisions during development. With this being my first ever serious project I locked in on, I learned that the way I coded the game before and optimized its graphics were not good.

I've had to learn the hard way.

But even though I have had to deal with many setbacks, my current goal is to release this project this year. Ideally in Q2 2026, probably before the summer starts. I believe that is possible, its just that I'll really have to grind. But we can do it! If there is one think working on TRTF1:AE has taught me (which you should TOTALLY check out), its showed me I can put the pedal to the metal.

In order to make this happen though, I have gotten a lot of people together to help me out with this.

As mentioned beforehand, I've got my man @jayfolder working on recoding the whole game! He is an excellent programmer, and is currently working on updating the main segments as we speak! But recoding is only half the problem. The other workload is on me now to update the original assets I made, in addition to finishing the ones left.

When enough of this game is recoded, I will release new gameplay teasers that will excite people for what is to come. I just want the game looking a little more presentable first.

Not only that, but my man @SherryZMax is currently working on pixel art for the project which is going well. Not much to show in this department but progress is coming together slowly and steadily.

@phasma has also been updating a lot of UI for me so this game has a good user interface, and has been helping a lot.

And a special thanks to my lovely beta testers who I have been pleasantly torturing and scaring the living daylights out of.

You know who you are.

Overall, things are movingly along steadily, its just taking time. However, I didn't want to leave you guys completely without any substance, so I provided an awesome ad and Sunshine Freddy's Game Over screen, courtesy of my man YellowRaccoon3. Go check him out! (HD images linked as well)

I want to leave it at that for now because I want to get back to doing actual teasers again and soon enough gameplay teasers, but I hope this is enough to tide you guys off for now. Expect new content updates soon, FOR REAL this time, and I'll be seeing you guys soon enough. Hopefully this post shows you all that this project is by no means dead. So rejoice!

Have a good one, and God bless!
