throwing in the towel... for now


Hello ladies and gentlemen. paul here, yet again

So, "where the hell have I been and where is version 1.5?" you might be asking. To keep it brief. I've once again been sidetracked and have been doing other things outside of working on this game, and I think it's about time to say that I've decided to put AHaR on an indefinite hiatus, as of now I have lost the motivation to work on it. However don't fret! this doesn't mean the update for the game is cancelled. It is nearly complete, there are only a few more things to do before I can release it. I will return to it someday, probably before the end of the year, though I can't make any promises.

Another reason for this is because over time I've had the thoughts of making a sonic fan game (no it's not FNaF related so it definitely isn't a five nights at Sonic's thing) though I am seemingly having trouble trying to find a program to make the game on. I would use clickteam to make it but it functions differently than something like game maker - something I would likely use if they didn't charge you money to export your game. I have found something called godot, once I figure out how to learn its language I might make the game using that but I don't know. (If you know any other game engines that I could use, comment below)

I'm sorry if any of you are disappointed, I understand and I hope you do too... but don't forget. I am still looking for someone to help me with moderation of the new AHaR discord server. If you want to contact me about this via DMs, my username is just "thefireoshawott04" (no caps) as I've migrated it from the old "username#0000" thing that discord initially used.

That is all, this'll be the last post I make on this game for a while. I'll stick around doing other things on here in the meantime so don't ya worry, stay safe - paul

new versions of the main characters' images i did a while ago. I may upload these to deviantart but they will appear in the extras menu of v1.5!

details on their differences in article

time to get to revamping the final camera for v1.5, which is the arcade.

more to come in the new year

also i'm aware AHaR has turned 4 years old but i didn't bother announcing it because it would be pointless

revamped party area camera is finally done. here's what it looks like in-game!

all that's left is the arcade camera and I'll be done, then I can move on to adding the final adjustments to version 1.5

Happy New Year, POPGOES fans!

Here's a summary of some of the best POPGOES things that happened in 2025. What were your favourites?

happy new year everyone.

revamped arcade camera is finished! I haven't put it into the game yet but here it is... it's a little rough in some areas but otherwise I'm happy with how it turned out

more to come very soon

alright. time to get myself into gear and finish version 1.5; hopefully before the end of the year. and i mean it!

here's a new raichu image for the game's main menu to replace the old one I made waaayyy back at the start of development (in the 2nd image)

Nostalgia-Bait Springtrap

revamped party area is almost done - here I used GIMP to place the pokémon images on the walls using the program's unified transform tool. I'm going to draw some new images next to where natu and hoothoot are, just to fill in the empty spaces
