Well, it's been quite a year, hasn't it?
A lot's happened this year, some good, some bad, but overall, I'm just glad I was able to stick with this project as we continued onwards.
I'll keep this brief, as there's not too much I can show off right now, but I will talk about progress for sure.
For starters, most of the backbone code of the project is done, from the battle engine, to the progress saving, it's all working and here! Our programmers and I have been hard at work fixing everything in the last few months, and we've made quite a big jump since our reset.
We have quite a lot going on behind the scenes, and while I may not be able to show a lot of the music or assets we have, but I will show off some of the minor things I've spoiled on discord (which anyone is free to join if they'd like!)
As you see here, this was one of my many mistakes while implementing the new intro logo. Clearly this isn't the actual version, but this is what had occured at one point lmao
Then there's the new flowey textbox! Less color, but still that same design and beauty! I'm quite fond of what we've done with it!
And... this one... what Might this be...? :)
(Plus the art on the thumbnail, by MrMitten, of course!)
There's some other things we've shown off, but a lot of it is for anyone on the Discord to chat and help us with, as we like to work close with the community! So if you feel like joining and chatting with us, do feel free to come on by!
One final note before I end off today. This one is more aimed at myself than just the team, but I thought I'd share at the very least.
As I put more and more effort into this game, I may have to take a step back as I regain financially for a while, as I have been struggling at home to make things work out. This has been going on for a while, and only recently have things become rather dire.
In a last ditch effort, I have made a gofundme for me and my roommates as we attempt to raise money for us to at the very least keep us going while we work tirelessly. That being said, I may have to take some time to myself as I do more stuff outside of this project.
I will link the gofundme below if anyone wishes to take a look, but I am NOT ASKING ANYONE to donate, it is at your own decision if you wish to do so or not. This is not me asking to donate to the team or making money for random stuff, it is a dire situation that I have been spreading around for some time, and I thought I'd share here too.
Thank you to everyone who's been supporting me through my troubles, and thank you to my team for keeping the progress going and having my back.
Well, 2024 is almost done, and it's been quite a year for sure. Thank you everyone for sticking around as we make progress on this game, and thank you everyone for all the kind words and wonderful discussions we've had together. I hope that in 2025, you'll see quite a large increase in production, as well as maybe a demo...? (No promises!)
For one last time, I bid you all a wonderful day, and a great holiday.
Bua bye!!
