Addressing the problem...


Hey everyone,

Certainly it's hard for me to express my feelings about the game. The past months have been a chaos for me and I honestly don't know what to do.

Yesterday I thought I would just do the right thing for everyone and myself, because it's just hard to keep pushing something that doesn't benefit anyone at all. My decision was kind of impulsive, mixed with a lot of feelings regarding the development.

To begin with, the situation with my laptop hasn't been solved. Repairing it costs a lot... I need $120 USD to cover the fans for both the GPU and the CPU, along with the thermal paste and just the diagnosis was expensive. So, by now my computer is pretty much in a limbo... I do have it, but the fans don't work, the thermal paste is dried so it gets hot after some time, and it's my understanding using it in that state is dangerous.

I don't want to admit this, but it is true that I am probably, one of the few, if not the only, member who really wants this game to happen. Despite having a team to help me, at the end I have become the main modeler, programmer, sound engineer, and by now the only person interested in this. It's not I am a victim who did everything, because everyone did their part and a good job, and it's neither about blaming the others, it's just that time has changed the rules and the team shifted into one-man-army. I also have attempted to work with more people, but some just didn't show enough interest, some ghosted, and some got into troubles by their own, so pretty much I can't rely on anyone but me.

The core gameplay is pretty much finished by now, and for the demo I just need to add cutscenes and some sections, which has been the main reason I just don't release the game. It was my intention to release the demo next month, but the plans have been ruined, I am alone in this, sadly, and that is the truth.

I don't know what to do. It's a hard situation that is out of my hands, and by now I don't expect that I will continue development for this game anytime, unless someone is really committed to help me, but I am sure it won't happen.

And there you go...

To answer the question: Is the game really canceled? I don't know. Paused? Maybe. If I don't do anything else with the game, you'll find the answer. It's probably up to someone to finish it.
