Hi, I was just wondering how the game is doing. I love what I have played and just want to see what the progress of this is since I haven't seen any activity on this board in a couple months. Hope things are going well for you.

Yeah I finally got around to playing the demo last month and I loved it! It was actually the first time I played it and I hadn't been following the devlog that closely so everything was new to me, really great game!

@Banannaman, Hi! Thanks for checking in, The game is still in progress, just going a bit slow due to me needing to take a break from it so I dont get burnt out on it.
@SolS, Im glad you loved it! Thank you very much!

Is the game still alive? Are there any news about progress? Maybe some new demo?

[Raku]

Yes it is!
It is very much still in progress, though unfortunately progress has been slow recently due to losing my job at the end of last year. Ive been having to start a patreon (which I'm unsure is okay for me to advertise here of course) and commissions to continue to pay rent, which takes up most of my time these days, along with other things in my personal life that have been taking up my time as well

That sounds very stressful. I just want to say, Jack the Reaper is a special kind of cute, and I'll continue to follow it for as long as it takes to finish.

Oh, wow. Crap. And I was wondering why you haven't posted any progress in all this time.

I hope everything gets better for you Raku.

@ Squire: Thank you, I appreciate it!

@ Superb Joe: Ah I see, thank you then

@ Minoru Leonardo: Thank you too.

I really appreciate the support and understanding everyone has been giving me though all this, not to mention the immense patience you all seem to have for me. Im sorry my game is taking me this long to make.

I feel ya when it comes to having life get in the way of creativity, and feeling guilt about that. Something I try to remind myself to feel better, is that making cute things to bring joy into the world cannot be done by pushing yourself constantly in an unhealthy way. You gotta focus on your own happiness and the cute things in your life sometimes! You'll get back to it with more energy. I believe!

this game has been a wonderful experience to me and is worth the wait. thank you for investing so much time into this project :D

[Diabetes Forecast]

[Raku]

@Nathy grrrl, banannaman - thank you both very much!
@Applefat - ahh Im so grateful for that! It does help for sure

Hello, I found a bug that crashes the game during the reactor fight. One of the projectiles that you need to direct towards the reactor got caught on an edge and caused the game to crash. I am using Windows 8.1. Incidentally, the game takes a while to start up, and sometimes doesn't work for me. Good luck with the game, it's been really fun so far.

[Raku]

I see, I think I know what the problem is and Ive already got how to fix it thankfully, it's probably the sound effect being played too much at once due to the bullet getting stuck. This seems to be a known error with gamemaker, where for some computers if too many sounds are playing simultaneously it can crash games. And dont worry, the game takes a while to start up for me too. Thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it

Hey, i've been wondering a thing. How's the game doing? I discovered this game some weeks ago and i feel in love with the game as soon as i reached the first boss. Good luck in everything.

Also how long will the game be compared to the demo?

[Voltz.Supreme]

All the best finishing the project!!

[Raku]

@Kep, The game is doing okay so far, production has slowed a bit right now due to getting a little burnt out on it, but Im trying to take breaks until I can get back to working on it fully again. Im so glad you like the game so much, and thank you for the support! The game's demo is about... 40% of the game maybe, though there are many things inaccesible in the demo that make the full game even longer.

@Voltz.Supreme, Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

So uh i was replaying the game, one of those mushroom monsters that drop pink + yellow souls ate me when i went to kill it, and this happened


I can't do anything except attack and put the shield in front of me, the only thing i can do is press esc.

[Raku]

Ahhhh, I know about that unfortunate bug, those plant enemies cause a lot of trouble for me, but Im going to be fixing it soon, thank you for letting me know though! Also in case you didnt know, you should be able to hold F2 to reset the game
