Just a quick note to say I'm putting this project on the shelf for a while. I've marked it as R.I.P. because, if I do revisit it at any point, I'll most likely be starting from scratch.
I've been working on it for over 2 years now, and
almost full time (alongside freelance work) since December of last year. In that time, it's never improved that much as an experience - either as a game or as a project. It just seemed to get more complicated and further from what I wanted it to be.
Ah well.
I'll probably do a proper postmortem at some point, as I've learned a lot from whatever it is that this thing has been.
I'm really sorry if you were into it, but it was never going to actually be that good
I guess from my point of view, it kind of sucks to have spent 2 and a bit years on it, but I can't pretend that time was wasted. I should have done this a while ago, but I felt like I'd put too much into it to give up. That's just silly thinking, don't fall into that trap.
For now, I'll be working on seeing if I can turn Mable into more of a full game (and come up with a less copyright infringing name):
And also I'll try and convince Thomas Noppers we should expand on Video Nasty
Thanks for the support with Among The Willows everyone, this is an awesome community and I'm super glad that I started this devlog - even if I never did update it as often as I said!
