Had to write this pretty late right now as it's 1:37 AM, but the gamepage has been completely deleted. This post will dive into why, and also explain why another project like FNaTI 1.0 Reboot has been renamed.

River Country 3D, first, was solely based off of a large reboot of a small Scratch game made by Matty UM. At first, the goal of the project was to redo the whole game in 3D, as, at first, I believed the game had a lot of potential for being more serious in terms of gameplay, the characters, the story and such, and how I felt the game deserved better. Though this was very short-lived, as while working on the game, I had multiple setbacks in terms of how it looked and how extremely messy the development of the game was. It took a long time to code the main game in its first stage, and ultimately it was left abandoned. While I am not making this post to blame the coder who moved on to other projects, I will say that on both my side and theirs, we have different ambitions and projects, and as much as back then it had frustrated me that they abruptly left without a reason, I humbly respect their decisions and ultimately forgive them. When the second rendition came, I learned how to model and then again redid the graphics for the game to fit the entire vibe of the game, even redoing most of the GUI to match the original. I made a teaser video called the "RC Transmissions" (which, by the way, I fucking hate how I executed the teaser video). I was met with more setbacks in terms of finishing the character cast, looking for new coders, and the game was left in this alpha state of being generally unpolished and barely finished. I tried coding the game myself, and that was an embarrassing mess that worsened the game, in terms of me hoping to release a 2-night demo. I would like to point out that in the development of the new stage of redoing the game, the creator posted on one of our posts about how we could make this original and skip his idea, and in the grand scheme of things, that's what I plan to do after 1.0 is finished, in respect to the original creator. So, deleting the game page and cancelling River Country 3D seems like the best for me.

As for our Project which was called FNaTI 1.0 Reboot, I will keep this generally short. There are tons of games being made or maybe already made called FNaTI 1.0 Reboot or Recreation or whatever falls under that. I want to steer away from that title more and stick with a game name that is more recognizable, and more distinctive from the rest, I spent some time rewriting the story. The game is very loosely a 1.0 reboot and if anything it my own iteration of Treasure Island.

For now, I will return to trying to get some coders and programmers to help for Treasure Island 2000, along with extra modellers to help me out with the project. I aim to get this game finished and take a break before planning out some projects I have in mind of completing. River Country is cancelled, for now.
