The Grindstone...


The Grindstone is cold and still but I’ve returned to it none the less. I dropped the ball with this game and never meant to, but I got to playing games - some of them, well let’s be honest MOST of them, were garbage and time wasters - and distracted by countless other life things.

I was trying to do some of the art for my game but hit a mental roadblock that has halted that part of the project. It’s okay though because I’m pretty sure I can continue making the game and working on the story, then pick up the art again when I can and subsequently change anything in game that I would need to.

I’m pretty sure I said it before, but I’ll say it again, I never meant for this game to grow as much as it has and it quickly became more than I ever imagined. It is a lot more work than I had anticipated, especially for only one person and I think all of that is partly why I was easily distracted - maybe subconsciously I didn’t want to come back to it right away. But now I’m back and I’m going to make this game my number 1 priority (in my free time of course!).

Cheers!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.
