Update on works and the future

Added 2023-11-25 21:05:02 +0000 UTC

Always scary to hear about the future of something, when there wasn't much activity, right?

TL;DR

I'm very stressed and might do some personal projects. I do keep working on Crysalis though.

----------------------------------------------------

The Problem

Personal stress (family & politics, as I am a trans person), working on a single project for months on end.

In short, motivation is waning, due to things I can and cannot control, so I try to take action towards the things I can control.

----------------------------------------------------

The Solution

I keep working on Crysalis, but might also delve into other projects (new and old), to get some creativity back.

So you might see personal art, commissions or other game project ideas here, while I also try to keep working on Crysalis itself.

If I don't do something else, now and then, I fear I'd burn out completely on the project and have to abandon it.
So, to keep working on it, I need to also not work on it all the time. How much that will be, we'll see.
But it'll also delay progress more.

----------------------------------------------------

Status of the game

I have a combat system, that I am liking now. It's more action again, but I need to implement it fully, to see if it's really the one. I have a strong feeling that it is though.

The plan is to get the combat system working, then send it out to you for testing, then work on the dungeon itself and a looting system, as well as an upgrade system

Also to make another trailer, to get more interest in this project again.

For the combat itself, all I really need is enemy bullets and behavior, but getting myself to work on those and not other random stuff is hard lately (hence this post).

Also, I am planning on posting some WIPs of older games here, to see what you could expect as other games, as well as talking about other game ideas, you might like.
But again Crysalis is my main project right now, so I want to finish it first! (Though, a bit of variety keeps the creative spirit up)
