On the subject of deadlines


So, what the hell am I doing?

As you may have noticed, there has been a clear lack of updates on anything here. That’s true, I mostly post devlogs on my Discord server.

And, on this Discord server, several times have I thrown deadlines here and there. Somewhere in 2023. Q4 2023. January 2024. February 2024. Every time, I underestimate how much more I have to do.

Making this game from the ground up (yes, I did remake the entire game from scratch (at least 3 times) between Last Unity Build and now) is exhausting, because every time I have to rethink most of it, with only the assets carrying over (and even then, it’s a ship of Thesus situation where I remake most of the assets anyways)

But still, the current version has been worked on for a year now, and…

…what’s left for the demo?

  • For sure, there is way more content than previous attempts ever had.
  • All characters I had planned to add are added in the game.
  • Audio sound effects are present, but unfinished for several characters and elements
  • Music is almost done, I’m getting help from a friend for several tracks and am figuring out how to actually use LMMS better
  • All planned levels are pretty much ready layout-wise. (and only one of them isn’t complete texture wise)
  • Work on the bossfight has started, and 3 planned attacks are implemented
  • Some (but not all) cutscenes are ready
  • French translation is pretty much 100%, with a Spanish translation on the way (Thanks, KirbyCreep!)

So, any timeframe?

It is hard to estimate, but around June maybe? would be funny if it released on the 4 year anniversary of the game’s first build so that’s what I’m aiming for. But yeah, I still don’t know, we’ll see!

Setting deadlines is hard … speaking out of experience xD
