The history of our game and its future


Hello. This will be a relatively long post about the history of this project, its future and our plans.

When my friend and I came up with this game, we had no ideas. We just suddenly decided to make a game, that's all. Sounds great, but this is one of the main problems of the game. We didn't have a clear vision or message. Many thoughts put into the game were added much later.

We worked with pure enthusiasm. Personally, the very process of creation brought me a lot of pleasure. Especially during a pandemic, when I had to sit at home and listen to lectures that became even more boring.

The game has changed a lot over time. We just did what we could, I rewrote the plot over and over again. Unrealizable ideas were thrown away over time. We decided to release the stable version for the first time on September 1, 2020. We made it in time.

Then the polishing process began. A lot of the game didn't match our vision, we started to make changes to the plot. As a result, we managed to finish only the first chapter.

Some time ago, updates on android stopped coming out due to the changed requirements for export. You can still build the game yourself, but I don't think it's worth it. Builds for Linux, Windows and Mac should work well.

My findings

1. I would have never thought that the idea of open source would be so useful. Most people found out about the game just because of this. Don't be afraid to open source your programs, this can be extremely useful.

2. One person is enough to make the most of the game. It's not difficult, but there is an important note. When, after a long break, another developer saw the game, he could not understand for a long time what he needed to do. It turned out that the game was intuitive only for me. And this problem has not been eliminated everywhere. Ask someone to play your game or use your program, keep track of which moments are causing difficulties.

3. Come up with a plot basis before starting the game. Make sure you know what you want to get. It is not difficult to change the project over time, but it will take a lot of effort.

Questions and answers

- Should I play this game?

I don't think so, although it's up to you to decide. The game is still not ready. I consider the first chapter relatively finished.

- Will the game ever be over?

Probably, but not in the next year.

The future of the project

At the end I will make an announcement that is very important for this project. The development of the game is being paused for personal reasons. I have to go offline for a while. I hope for your understanding.

But there is good news. Many months ago I came up with a new game. I can't promise anything yet, but I really hope that in a few years this account will come to life and a new game will be released. While I am still working on the plot, it seems to me much more elaborate and exciting.
