Happy anniversary!


Hey guys. Tonight is Abandoned: Discovery Island/FNATI:F R0's 6th anniversary... whew, the memories. I'm spending time with my extended family and don't have access to Classic Deluxe's development files at the moment, so instead I'll give you all a brief retrospective.

Looking back, developing this game was a wild ride. I've got fond memories of the time I spent working on this, some not-so-fond memories (crunch), met lots of awesome members of the fanbase, made a lot of stupid last-minute development decisions (*cough* Undertale), learned a lot of important lessons, and got to work alongside some amazing people.

Even though I might not be all that proud of the end result - there's a reason I'm making Classic Deluxe after all, and Arcade/the soft reboot after that - I'm still glad that I made this game and the impact that it's had on me. And once again, to everyone that enjoyed it in spite of its flaws: thank you so much!

Stay tuned tomorrow - I'll have something to share then!

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

not the greatest house, but it's a house! :D
