Status of the game, May 2024

Hey everyone!

Lately, I've noticed some questions popping up about the status of the game and the lack of updates. I'm taking a moment to address these concerns and give you all a peek behind the scenes.

Let me clarify the current situation. First and foremost, I want to reassure you that the game isn't abandoned. I'm still actively working on it. But, as most solo indie developers, I don't have the luxury of being able to work on it full time. And sometimes, I just need to recharge and spend my free time doing other things.

Now, regarding the lack of updates, I stopped doing them because I noticed that engagement was very low. It's not that I've lost interest or stopped caring about sharing progress with you all, but rather, I've been questioning whether the effort is worth it. After noticing such low engagement with previous updates, I wondered if anyone cared enough to keep them going.

If you're disappointed by the lack of updates, please let me know. I'll gladly resume doing the updates if I can tell there's enough interest.

I hope that clears it up.

Now, let me share a sneak peek into what's currently going on. I have enough content for a solid 1-1½ hour demo. However, there's still some work to be done. I'm currently focused on play-testing, tweaking bits and bobs and especially balancing.

One thing missing from the demo is sound and music. I believe they're essential for creating an immersive experience, and I'd rather not release an absolutely silent demo. So, if there are any composers out there reading this, I'd love to hear from you! It would be super cool to work together with a fan to bring the game to life with captivating soundscapes and melodies.
