Happy new year homies! I don't know who's expecting this if anyone at all, but despite the hype of this game being loooong gone by now I still owe an explanation to anyone who has been following this game; and I can't think of a better time than now to write this. Fat chance I need to state this, but development has been trapped in major hiatus hell for 2 years now with no progression in sight. However, I know there's likely a great chance at the very least one of you are reading this and are wondering what the development status of this game currently is, or better yet is it cancelled?

As of right now; No it is not cancelled, but do not expect this game to be released anytime soon, it may be a surprised to some of you since updates have been dead silent for over 2 years up till this point, this project was heavily inspired by Project JoaCo 2 Classic Run. I found the concept of creating a whole new take on an old fangame to be quite fascinating and I wanted to do the same to Project JoaCo and 3.

So, what's been happening? I graduated high school during 2024 and ever since then my motivation and productivity have been at an ALL TIME low, I did briefly work on the game during summer break after graduation, but then I entered college, which as of right now has been pretty much the number one reason why I can't find time to work on game projects in general, my motivation and will to be productive has slowly been returning to me and since new year's is just hours away at this point I figured it would be a wonderful time to hopefully at the bare minimum make some adjustments to my productivity, my ideal work schedule is to wake up at around 6-8 and get college work wrapped up at around 10-12 and then have the rest of the day to myself to do whatever I want or even work on game projects such as this! However my sleep schedule has been absolutely god awful and I just can't find the courage to go to bed at a reasonable time, but if I can accomplish adjusting my sleep schedule to be early and consistent than I'm pretty confident to say we would for sure have a start and I can hopefully get back to working on this game and future games, I also just so happen to have come up with a lot of game ideas at the back of my head during my hiatus; and I have also been experimenting let's just say A LOT of Clickteam Fusion during my hiatus so I'm pretty confident that I can achieve this!

TLDR: Games not cancelled, my motivation is slowly coming back and hopefully I can return developing this game sometime soon! I apologize for the unnecessary hiatus.
