Sooooooooooooooo,

No the game's still not dead. In fact, in the last 2 weeks, I've probably made more progress on the game than ever before.

Basically, I've started reworking the entier game, meaning giving the player more base abilities and not keeping nearly any of the old levels, because the difficulty curve literally didn't exist and they sucked.

Also, like, I had another big problem with the game's setting. For some reason (I can't really explain), I felt like the world didn't feel conected at all. Idk why I felt this way, but I knew I had to restart most of it.

The original idea for the game had 10 unique areas, each one with 2 levels each and its own ability. Until very recently, I wanted to not only follow, but expand the original idea: Inspired by other games (yeah, it was mostly Celeste), I wanted to include an actual story, that would players make start thinking about the game's characters and places. A story, with a big plot twist, a dilemma, a situation that didn't really have one clear "right" solution.

At some point, when I was procrastinating on actually making a new area, I realized that the game's scope was way too big for me to finish within a reasonable time. But after I reduced it to only have the four areas, that are already included in the Alpha, I realized: The charactes in the game are chickens. No one is gonna care about a serious story with chickens.

So that idea kinda died.

And now I'm working on this new game, with a new, silly story and only 4 areas (hopefully).

Also, I'm kinda bad at writing jokes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
