- My return and kicking into high gear! - 10 May 2019
Hey guys! so im back and ready to get kicking! Last year was really rough and i had to take care of business before getting back to development. These last few months I've been Restructuring the game to my original vision when i first envisioned it. That means a 3rd-person action game with story elements, and so far I have got the base down for you guys to experience. The combat is a bit rough as of now, and i will be tweaking that over the time we are in early access. What can you look forward to? Weekly (bi-weekly at the latest) updates and fixes. Ear to the community, if something is requested, and it aligns with the vision of the project it will be heavily considered, if not implemented. IMPORTANT: a new version of the game along with full patch notes will be dropping either today (5/10/2019) or tomorrow at the latest. I'll also be lowering the price a few bucks until the game is at…
- My absence and my return - 29 March 2018
Hey guys , Let me first start out by saying sorry for disappearing on you guys who were awesome enough to buy the game as it currently stands!. Right when i release the game life had hit me and the family pretty hard leading me to have to sell along of my belongings including the computer i built to develop with. Then I had to return to work to make sure we didnt end up on the streets lol so long story short these last 5+ months have been hard and upsetting as its the time frame i want for the game to be complete or at the very least, more feature complete. The good news is im am back and working harder than ever to bring my vision for this game to fruition. First thing is im rebuilding the game almost from scratch and creating it in the way i envisioned the first time with 3rd person action in mind as well as more detailed and engaging lore and mechanics to make the game fun and hopefu…
