I don't know where to start and it's hard for me to do so, but Portal Desire is canceled. This game has been a huge part of my life for almost four years now, my first "big project".
I decided to cancel Portal Desire for a few reasons:
Its story is fundamentally flawed: The game's story was written only to be a story, rather than existing within the game's structure, which caused huge trouble with game design.
Lack of time: As of now I'm swimming deep in the ocean of knowledge (which is a fancy way to say I'm studying hard). I could not balance game development with school
Lost passion: Listen, Portal Desire was made to tell a deep and personal story of me and an old friend of mine, it was supposed to be a love letter or a farewell that would never reach him. Eventually, this project has helped me accept the past and move on, and with that my passion for Portal Desire has started to fade. I tried to save it by changing the story but then it had no soul, it was just a story, and that's when I knew there was nothing to save anymore.
I want to thank my team:
For supporting and carrying Portal Desire through its rough start
@Rapboomxd @Lightboy_2 and @ShadyWolff
For the wonderful concept art
For sticking with me until the very end, and of course the incredibly talented and creative music and sounds
@IzuwiiDev for inspiring and encouraging me during tough times.
Eazy-V
for the great music
And lastly, thank you everyone who supported, liked, shared, commented. You are what keeps me going and I love you all so so much.
I truly apologize if any of you, team members or fans, feel like I wasted your time!
I might come back to this project one day, but for now,
Goodbye and thank you all again for everything
P.S. Above this post I attached a few scrapped concepts, feel free to check these out :)
