Hi! Sorry for not posting for almost 4 months... I didn't want to post any game-ideas that might get abandoned, so I was taking my time, trying out many different ideas (there was even one prototype of a computer-related game, where you would assemble and sell PCs, but after working on it for a bit I figured it's a bad concept for a nsfw game...)
Eventually, about 2 months ago I suddenly realized that I do have a game idea, and I had it for a pretty long time. It was there even before I made Innventure.
Originally, Innventure was called 'Cave Party', and was supposed to be an open-world RPG game set in an underground post-apocalyptic world, but due to being inexperienced with programming and gamedev in general, I failed to produce it properly and had to shrink it all down to a single tavern instead, since it was much more manageable for me back then.
Now, after working on this concept for 2 months, I am confident this game isn't going to get abandoned at early stages of development. I have great interest in it, a lot of work has been already done, and I slightly changed my approach to gamedev. Previously I would work with these huge marathons, where I would work on a game for 6-9 hours a day, burning myself out and quickly losing interest in a specific project. Now I work less hours, but more consistently, and I just keep adding content bit by bit. It is noticeably slower, but way healthier.
Currently this project is called 'Outventure', since it is almost a continuation of Innventure that focuses on its outside world, rather than the single tavern. It's still raw, but all the main mechanics are already implemented, and I almost finished working on the first settlement, Wolfpine, that COCK INN is located at. Thanks for following my gamedev journey, I'll keep posting more info on this game and early gameplay builds for you to try out somewhat soon.
