The definitive answer to "what is going on?"
(TLDR in the comments)


This is the question that most of you probably have in your mind about this project of mine. And, to be completely honest, I do not know at this point. But I tried to concentrate and answer it as honestly as it's possible.


What about summer?

As you may remember, I wrote a post about how I wanted to learn Godot and make a demo before autumn starts. And here's a thing: I didn't.

Now, look: I didn't not because I didn't want to, but because even during summer I had no time. And I am being honest with you. It's terrible. I was working for 3 month and wasn't home for 2 of them. The worst part is the fact that I didn't even earn that much money, I just... lost the summer? I'm feeling really bad because I didn't do what I said I'd do, too.

I'm not asking you to understand, in fact I won't be surprised if I lose a lot followers after this post. I just thought I'd explain myself to not look... well yeah, I look really bad after this, but maybe someone will understand and forgive me.


Now about the project in general

Guys, I'm gonna be 100% honest with you: I thought about cancelation a lot. But no. I have no guts to quit it now. But then It also looks like I'm not good enough to make it and have no time, too. I really have mixed feelings and do not know what do I do.

Like, don't get me wrong, when I created this page 2 years ago I was ready to make a really amateur CTF2.5 little project that would gain no attention and would be as terrible in quality as all my games were back then, I also had plenty of time in 2020. But suddenly... something's changed. It started gaining more and more followers and it lasts to this very day.

Now, I don't want to say that I don't appreciate it, in fact I do, I really do! But making something terrible would be very disrespectful to you all, plus the fact that it's been two years and I am embarrassed by the quality of my old games, meaning I would not want to make something like these ever again. But I can't do anything really good either.

I tried so much: I switched to a better engine which I was learning for months and learning to this very day, I've played some old RPGs to get inspired (some shorter ones because again I didn't have much time), I tried improving my drawing and music composing skills... and it got me nowhere. I feel really empty and sad, and the worst part is the fact I keep disappointing you.


Conclusion

It was a hard decision for me, but I'm freezing this project's development. I am not canceling it, but it won't be out this year and probably not next one, too. I know it's yet another disappointment from me and I will understand if you will unfollow me and this page. I deserve it. But it is what it is.

For these who choose to stay: I want to say thanks and stay determined! You'll eventually get your hands on this edgy and swappy world of Swapfell. No... promises. But if you would it'd be cool!

I hope it'll be sooner than 203X.

Despite everything, have a wonderful day!

Next up

can somebody get me this

This sound familiar?

i have so many accounts everywhere that there's a chance you've unknowingly interacted with me before

this is because

i don't have a certain personality

i guess

SWAPFELL TOMORROW

quite frankly it's safe to say that 'swapfell i hate you' is not a worthy opponent

it has nothing to do with swapfell and is just an obvious amalgamation of like 6 rpgmaker games with little to no originality

its only up-side is that it's kinda playable

This would be evil

I'm gonna say it right now so nobody accuses me of this later but I thought of adding status effects in Undertale before it became mainstream. I specifically wanted to add a poison effect in swapfell. Weird, I know. But if executed right it could work.

Guys... I did something very fucking funny...

And it's not even me; it auto suggested it and i was like "YES."
