hi, so its finally spring break and I'm off from school. Although some of you wondering

p3ngu1n, where in the damn FUCK is part 3 and WHEN is it coming out???? well..

Unfortunately part 3 is taking a LOT longer than I previously anticipated on it being worked on.

I was originally gonna set a possible release date of May 30, 2025, but that looks like it's gonna fail wretchedly.

(And before you ask, No, istg this will NOT be like what part 2 had where I had very little time with atrocious code.)

What's progress so far?

Currently working on level 2 which will have a at least 2 fights implemented in. I've finished the cutscene which may bring you the most "breathtaking" type shit warning ever (maybe not lmao)

1. I will try my best not to make the cutscenes too damn long because I've gotten some complaints especially from part 2 that cutscenes dragged on for too long with little to no gameplay..

   this is very noticeable especially in part 2 that there are more cutscenes about Roy and Vit chatting than solving puzzles. (I guess I could let that slide especially considering the fact part 2 was rushed and the fact my stupid ahh brain didn't consider delaying the release date)

2. One issue I see with the UI and I know you guys probably fucking hated me for this, is the fact you can't return back to your previous location you used to be whenever you hit the menu button, resulting in you having to start ALL the way from the beginning watching the same boring long-ass shit and making your way through the most mediocre puzzles/quizzes known to man.

   SO, what am i gonna do about it? I will implement this new feature called a Scene Selection

   Basically, whenever you go back to the main menu, you can pick up the scene where you last left off instead of having to start ALL the way from the beginning again as long as you unlocked the level during your gameplay.

   unfortunately, I won't bother studying the codes of scratch to make a game save data type shit as if you were picking up the exact area in the level where you last left off or having progress be saved whenever you close the game and reopen it. I'm sorry but, in an alternative universe where I was goated at coding/animation type shit, that would be the case but it's not happening here.

New Characters

So, who will be joining us for part 3?

As usual, the main cast from part 1 and 2 will be returning along with some new characters and some build-up on previous characters

Joseph

Joseph is kind of the talkative/quiet one out of the new gang. He likes to read books, become a motivational speaker, and even runs (ran) his own podcast about career-exploration. He's the co-leader of our main cast and is willing to start arguments if Roys brain goes on autopilot

Sidney/Sydney(?)

We don't know how to officially pronounce it since she hasn't confirmed with us yet

But Si(y)dney is the cool/overexcited teen girl and has a big passion. She likes to watch Disney Channel sitcoms (like That's so Raven, BUNK'D, Jessie, etc.), is a fan of Pop/Dance music, and is looking to be a Hollywood star! Although is this universe, that's kind of not case...

(fyi don't be a dick to her bcuz she will call u demon and will say ur ugly and will mass hate on u )

Desh

This isn't really a "new" character since he was featured in part 2, but due to part 2 being rushed, I had to cut some development from him resulting in him kind of being a silent-filler character, which tbh I never liked how it turned out..

SO, I will likely implement him having rivalry's not only with the main cast but his group as well.

How long is it gonna take to finish?

I don't know. As I said, part 3 is taking a lot longer than I originally planned on it being worked on. I assume it will be released this summer or earlier.

Due to school, the fact I have a job, and just being extremely discipline, it's really making it rigorous for me to stay motivated on completing this since I've had a bunch of big passion projects in the past (like that fucking james collection thingy) that never got completed due to many complications although mainly due to my discipline.

I'm also getting more into music production and have been making a lot more songs than working on this project. I just don't think making games was my talent.

However, the good news is I'm currently working on level 2 and may finish it by the end of March or early April, but I have 2 more levels I need to finish which will take a lot longer than the first 2 levels because I have "huge" plans for the levels

I may also try to implement features and shit that were not associated with part 1 or 2 since they were kind of rushed.

Will the trailer ever come out?

Yes. I will likely put one out by Late May or Early June depending on how much I get done. It will just depend on how much I get done. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long from now..

(prototype)

That's pretty much all I have to say so far. Again, I'll LIKELY get a trailer out by may or june, if not later.

also unrelated to this but I'll be releasing a new EP this summer because haha
