Let's get the bad news out of the way first, seeing as it's more relevant.
I just don't have the motivation to continue making this game anymore, specifically because I no longer hold much interest in the source material. I've actually been out of the Eddsworld fandom for a long time now, and only kept working on this game thinking "Well I've come this far already", but it turned out to be nothing but a drag. Working on something you're no longer into isn't fun. So even though this was 4 years in the making, I'm officially cancelling this game. And I don't just mean abandon the game page and come back half a year later when I get bored, I'm truly done with it.
While coding and coming up with gameplay concepts was pretty bad, I think working on the story was the worst part. I was always stuck at certain parts of it, not knowing where to take it and redoing the majority of it as a result. I'm terrible when it comes to making stories with already existing characters... or making anything with them for that matter.
But that's where the good news comes in.
I'm going to take the years of work I put into this and put it towards a new unnamed game of mine. This time around it'll have an original world and characters, giving me more freedom with the story and even gameplay in some cases.
I'll put a new devlog up for it soon
And hopefully I'll keep my motivation to work on it, as it's all my own creation.
