that sucks man, i hope it goes well for you. good luck with whatever you’re going through live strong bro
Hi! Things have getting better IRL and ive been constantly practicing all kinds of things in the background and feel pretty prepared to return to this project.
The time away allowed me to get a better scope on the project, my goals and sort of cut back since i really dont need to drop a fully fledged game off rip.
With that being said, I still lack models for the characters so when its ready ill just drop a beta version with the approach I was doing, i know its not as immersive or cool, but its so dang hard to find people to make models for stuff like this, if anyone is actually interested in making character models i’ll instead release a beta with character models instead of my current approach.
So, the scope ive decided on for now is this:
- All previously mentioned items
- Itemless mode
- Dart game mode
- Non pop versions and pop versions
A drastic cut back but i’d rather build off something i have released rather than build off something without feedback, apologies if that disappoints.
All in all with this cutback and much more knowledge i could have this done in a month or so but i wont set a date so i dont put pressure on myself.
Talk soon, until then!

Good to hear from you, bro. I’m glad you’re doin better and glad to see you continuing with your projects. I gotta say, you got some great ideas here and the fact you actually have something to show for it is amazing. Keep up the good work, and I hope you find a modeler.
Unfortunately I’m only a decent sketch artist at most otherwise I’d job at the chance to model if I was any good at it, lol.

Hi! The game isn’t currently available anywhere, but since i really only need to round the edges and add a few things and remove stuff for simplistic sake it’ll likely be available both here and on my itch account in about a month or a tad longer

Hi! I usually don’t like to step in but it seems I have to be a villain for a bit.
You should leave them alone. The reason they’re pulling away from this is because they need time and space to find the energy and motivation to continue working on the project. For the time being, it would be in your best interests to let go of the idea that this project might see the light of day.
Creatives often go through a “process”, and sometimes that means taking hiatuses like these to recharge, so to speak. Your constant insistence that they owe you some kind of update or communication is only delaying this proccess and might make it so they never come back to this. Wouldn’t you hate for that to happen?
In general, the best thing you can do is to relax, find other things to think about, and forget about this, and, maybe, one day, you’ll see a little blue light here informing you there’s a public demo or something.
just remember, every time you ask for an update: You reduce the chances of this ever being finished. Please refrain from doing so because not only would you be ruining the thing you so badly want to see, you would also be taking that away from everyone else.

Is there a patreon or some kind of way we could support this? It’s a wonderful project.

Hi! Currently i dont have any form of support set up since i feel it would be wrong to ask for support despite having no published works to show for it.
I may set something up in the future which would allow me to put more time and effort into this, and other projects.
For now though, im working on this project with all the downtime i get
