Hi guys.
This might be good news, but it could also be bad news.
I didn’t learn my lesson with Uppertale honestly. I thought that since Uppertale flopped (well, for me it did) I needed to make this, but maybe that wasn’t the right thing to do?
I’ve learned that I suck at making long games. I hate making them. I hate having to make a game that has to last more than 30 minutes.
So far Don’t Forget lasts around 45 minutes, and I wanted it to last 2 hours in the end, but now I’m not so sure I’ll reach that.
I have other ideas for games, and Don’t Forget is dragging me down. I’m repeating Uppertale’s problem.
So rather than try to work myself too hard to make it long and end up disappointing everybody, I’m now just going to focus on finishing the game. That means the game might have 30 more minutes of playtime, but that’s it. I can’t risk trying to make the game last as long as possible while being fun, because I know I can’t.
This game’s genocide route will also be minor. It won’t actually GREATLY impact the game since, well, the void is already empty anyway because it’s supposed to be, I can’t make it emptier than it already is, so there won’t be any changes to the overworld. All I can actually do is change some dialogue. I’m sorry, but I suck at making genocide too. (I’m not saying genocide isn’t worth trying, I’m just saying don’t expect harder battles or anything…)
I hope you guys aren’t too disappointed, but I’m going to try and wrap this game up, I really want to move on from Undertale, but I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes I did with Uppertale either. It’s a tough situation.
After the game is all set and done, don’t ask for any more fan-games of undertale, or of anything really. I’ll make fan-games if I find a new game I really, really like, but I want to try and fulfil my promise I made when I finished with FNaF games, which is to start making original games, and I think I have a pretty darn good idea for one.
So, I’ll stop talking, and get working.
Estimated release date? I give myself like a week or something.
(Also I have exams ALL next week, so that might slow down development though.)
See ya guys later.
