Hey again, everyone! Sorry for the wait. This got posted in the Discord on March but I was a little late to post it on Gamejolt, but it IS technically the march post! Anyway...

I've been a little busy over the past few months dealing with university, but I'd still like to reassure the project's going strong, even as I've gotten busy (you might've been able to tell, given I wasn't able to fulfill a monthly update on February...) Especially with summer soon, and my finals wrapping up, things will be speeding up again on my end - though, the overall project itself never really slowed down, thanks to the other developers. Basically, Phase III, the Ashen Forest, has an overwhelming amount of its assets already made, and some of those assets are just waiting to be implemented into the game itself, then balanced and playtested. I at this point don't really know how long the game is anymore, so I'm gonna track that later x)

There's a decent amount of work being done for Phase IV as well, in advance for once we start our full work on that area. Though I've already planned the endgame story for Heartless back when the project basically started, there's a lot more details and we've really had the time to flesh everything out. Random note, there has been a couple too many (somewhat embarrassing) instances where the game has genuinely began to scare me while I have been running through it. I don't know what that says about the player experience, but just be prepared

I don't have much else to say for now. Major thing for now is that I do plan to show a tidbit of the game soon, so stay tuned for that!!
