I'm incredibly happy to be sharing this passion project with you guys, and I'm even happier knowing you all enjoy it a lot, even if it is pretty weird in some ways and not the best out there! It means a lot to me, as I have a deep connection to these games, as silly as that may sound. I've said it a lot already, but I've been making games just like these, with The Wiggles' puppets and original characters made out of them, for about 8 years now, and they were never seen by the public eye. Mostly in a video game titled Little Big Planet 3, but what you've been seeing from me now is my best work yet!
I had sort of stayed away from being an active user on the internet until 2021 when I decided to release The Awakening. This wasn't because I was being held back or anything, I just decided not to. I more just was a ghost who watched things and looked for updates on stuff I was into. I'm glad, because now that I'm adult, I can understand a lot of things better. Not to mention I had some pretty nice experience with making these games, so I already learned the lesson of testing my game before finishing it, making balanced mechanics, and also how to make a better atmosphere alongside other things.
It always makes me happy to see fanart, or a meme, or even a theory on the game's story. I'm honestly surprised to see people enjoy it enough to actually do these kinds of things, even if I don't see it very often! It's really been a bright light for me in a time where I've been so unsure about my own future, and I could not be more thankful with how patient and kind a lot of you are!
I'm hoping to get Long Hours done by around the middle of the year, but even then, I'm not positive on that. Only time will tell!
Take care! :)
