I've just recently come to a sort of conclusion that, although lifts up a dark weight in a sense, also is just incredibly sad to me. But oh well, the bad must be taken with the good, in this world. I really just am uncertain to do with the game I've been developing for these last few years. I mean, I haven't been like, working on it 24/7, obviously, but it's been a LONG time; I remember so many distinct moments of figuring out certain parts of it, figuring out how to code things I couldn't code before, getting the animations to look right, coming up with all the character designs, making the music, setting up the sound effects, drawing the backgrounds... and, at the end of it all, for what, really? I guess that was a question I was afraid to get the answer for for some time, honestly. When I made a little ad for it, finally, it basically didn't get much of a response other than triggering people I didn't know to attack it. People think subjectively, and with that in mind, I felt like the project became completely tainted over, well, nothing. But that's how it probably is. Not to mention there have been some issues or two that I couldn't for the life of me fix involving the game, so, there's that. I mean, why would I put all this effort and work even more so into this project that won't really get anywhere because of people's initial assumptions based on hardly anything? I guess i got a lot of practice out of it, THAT'S for sure, but other than, it was kind of just a waste to me. I guess it might just be time to close the book on it until further notice. I mean, no one was OBLIGATED to like it, so I suppose I can't exactly get upset over this, but at the same time, for some reason I feel a little surprised and disappointed over it. It was just so much work, all that effort, time, and thought... and then, it all just stops. I still feel, at the end of the day, it's a fighter that people would've enjoyed. But then again, how many fighters are already floating out there on the gaming platforms for cheap? How would this one stand out? I TRIED to make it stand out, but that backfired on me miserably, regardless of whether I was also being sarcastic or not.
So, unable to really decide on what to do, I just won't work on it for now. That's basically it, I guess. Maybe it won't ever get released, and that really is a shame considering I really, REALLY thought I was finally going to finish the thing at some point, as I never really have finished a game I put this much time and effort into. If people are interested enough, though, I don't know what to do with it.
