Development Update: 2/24/2021


Hello everyone, today I wanted to give you all a quick update on how the game is doing...

First off, I wanted to thank all of you new followers for showing interest in the game, and all of you old follows who might still be interested in what we have to offer. This game page has been up since 2018, and we still see the follower count go up daily. So we wanted to thank you for that. Like I said previously, this page has been up since 2018. And I wanted to apologize for that. You'd think after 2+ years, we'd have some playable demo for you all to try out. But unfortunately, we don't...right now o_o

What Happened To The Game:
Not too long ago, this game was on a fairly long break. And just recently, the team has gotten back into the swing of things, and continued development. Though with the hiatus that the project went through, the team decided on something. We were going to remake everything in the game, so that it could be even better than before. You've probably already noticed the new thumbnail/header, as well as the one teaser that is currently up. We're currently in the process of updating the models, updating the environment, creating new and unique animations, etc. We hope with these changes, the game will end up being better than we imagined. Though with these changes, comes longer development time. So I hope you can stick with us longer.

Programming:
Programming wise, our current main programmer will be away for a couple of months. Because of this, we'll have two other team members slowly program just a couple things every now and then. Since we still have a lot to do that isn't programming, the programming aspect of development will have to wait.

Modeling:
Like I said up above, everything is going to get remade. One of those things being the models. We hope with these re-models, the game will end up being just a tad bit spookier o_o As much as we loved the old models, we felt as if they weren't fit for a horror game. Some of you may be wondering if some old design elements will carry over. And with that, all I can say is that you'll have to wait and see.

Animations:
Just like the models, the animations will be re-made as well. And let me tell you that our animators have done a wonderful job so far. I can't wait for you all to see them.

With all of that being said, I'm probably going to end the post here. As I'm sure you all know, all of these changes are going to add more time on the development of the game. So we hope you can understand. Starting now, I'll try to update you all every once in a while, instead of going dark. Again, thanks so much for following the game, and showing your interest in it. It really means a lot to us. Until next time, stay joyful! (I really need to work on a better closing message)

P.S: Pretty soon, I'll be posting a link to a new public Discord server. We hope to see some of you guys join.

A calm and quiet day.. Made surreal by the feeling of finding an elven building in the mountains, and wondering of its purpose and story. I built this elven style house and it was my first attempt at something like this, but what do you think?

I remade my main character, what do you think? :)
