Hello everyone, KS here-
The long awaited update 0.4 is finally done, and only the translation is left, which I'm currently working on. The small alpha test seems to be going well. I've already tested it myself a few times and fixed a few minor issues. After that we can finally start beta testing and then early access.
Many of you are curious as to why this one takes so long, and delayed a few times even. The reason being-
Firstly, this update is really long, and I didn't even realize it until I've made every render/animations and put them all together with music/sfx into the game code. For comparison, all 3 previous version have around 7000 lines of code each, and they three combine into around 21000+ lines. Update 0.4 alone has 18000 lines. Therefore, it takes more than twice as much time to make compared to previous updates. The dumb little me estimated the completion time with the previous update in mind, but forgot that when the content more than doubles, the production time will double too. That's why I thought I could get it done at the end of November or start of December. I'm apologize if I gave you the wrong impression, but I was also clueless too.
I've been working on it every day, into the night. Sometimes if I wake up early, I would work on it too before I go to work. Every weekend, every week day. I spent the whole Christmas alone, working on it. When I was sick, I also was working on it. The only time I had a break was the 10-day vacation trip I had back in October. I've been working on it the whole year pretty much. I just want you to know that I really tried my best, to hopefully bring you the content that will make you smile sometimes, perhaps.
I'm gonna be honest with you here, since I never really told anyone, because I don't want people to get the wrong ideas, but I've been fighting the worst depression this whole year. I won't disclose the reason but there are many many things involved. And it's only getting worse. There are a few times I really thought about taking my own life. The only thing that honestly really kept me going was the game. I want to complete it. I never told anyone about this, not even my best friends or even family because I didn't want to bother anyone with my negative energy , but it's really breaking me. I'm seeking professional help now, so hopefully I will get better slowly. This game is my therapy. I didn't want to give up. I hope you can find something you're so passionate about in your life that keeps you going too.
I might temporarily closed down/disable my Discord server for a while, to make everything more simple and peaceful. I will still post announcements and stuff there, so if you want to know what happens, I will continue to update you guys here on Patreon or on the announcement channel in my server. A lot of the decisions are never easy to make, but that's just life, you're making a decision every second.
Do not worry, the game will continue, I just want to take a break from all of the social and things, and work on the game peacefully, while saving my mental health when I still can.
Also, the custom renders for Eclipse and Maverick, I'll make them for you soon after I get the translations done. That way I can fully focus on the art without, and give you guys the best renders I can make.
Happy New Year
2025, one of the worst year in my life, is coming to an end. I hope you did well this year. I know you tried your best too, good job. A new year is upon us, and I would like to start anew, and try to get better in 2026. We will work hard together, everyone.
I will update you guys if anything changes here, on Patreon.
Sincerely, KS
