CANCELATION AND THE FUTURE


Yeah, the project is canceled and canned.
There's many reasons as to why I did it, but I'll list a few.

  • It's a stark reminder of how bad my writing used to be and how I can't change anything about it, especially this far into development.

  • I am plenty motivated to keep working on it, but it's also a reminder on the kind of person I used to be, and I hate it.

  • I got too used to doing bad behaviors with how our progress was handled and it killed production heavily.

  • This game is no longer MY vision, it was the vision of someone I used to be, and someone I want to move past from.

The game's assets, story, and docs will be publicly released soon, along with context for everything.

But, there may be a reboot someday that I will attempt to make in the future.

Which will most likely be all of my current and NEW writing, nothing holding me back.

Though it is not certain, keep an eye out.

And I'm sorry if you saw this coming, or never really "liked" the project too much.

Someday something much, much better will rise from this.

And that's a promise I'm not gonna break.

Hopefully I inspired a few kind folks.

STILL A BIT SICK BUT ABSOLUTELY GOATED

Nothing big about Dustshift or DTBL, I’m just working on a little disbelief take on the side while I wait to go on break from school.

Hopefully it’s cool!

I’ve been learning how to draw too.

I made this, go read it, and say whatever needs to be said.

The truth should be shown before plans are made to shun it.
