About one year ago, we released our very first project, Determination.

Creating Determination has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and is the fulfilment of one of my greatest dreams, which is to create games. Determination came on the back of many failed projects and was the culmination of almost 10 years worth of hobbyist development.

Undertale inspired, and touched us in ways we never thought possible, and has had a really positive impact on our lives.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has played Determination, made videos, commented, visited our Discord, and interacted with us in any way. We have made many new friends, used feedback to learn and improve, and interacting with everyone has been amazing.

So, thank you. You have made this an incredible journey. To date, Determination is downloaded about 1,000 times a day, and has been downloaded almost 250,000 times, additionally there are more videos of this game then I could ever have time to watch, some of which have reached over 1,000,000 views. (I’m looking at you, Madam.)

Since our last dev log in September, we have not been focusing on Determination, this was pretty clearly stated to be our intention. We have been sticking to our word and working on a project of our own that we like to call Heartstruck.

It is not at a stage where I am happy to talk about it in detail, but I am fairly happy with the progress we are making on it, enough so to mention it here in passing. I’m sure as we work on Heartstruck more in the future we will update you here.

So, what about Determination?

That’s what you’re here for. Well, we have been in contact with several members of the community. One member of the community is called XandiAlexander now, she had a project to dub Determination. This was originally intended to be a video, however, I am happy to say that this will now be included in the game proper.

There is no ETA or promised release schedule for this, but when completed it will become a special new version of Determination called “Determination: Dubbed.” Here is a small preview of the sort of thing you can expect from Determination: Dubbed.

And who knows? Maybe I’ll find time to add some secrets too?

Thank you again for an amazing year. Here’s to the next one!
