Hello Everyone,

So I will announce that I will delay the metroidvania project that I was working on for an "indefinite" amount of time. The reasons I delayed my big project is that I had been struggling to create a suitable 2D platformer character controller for my game. I had searched just about every online tutorial on Youtube and so far I couldn't find a tutorial that helped reach my goals on creating a suitable 2D platformer controller with no issues regarding collisions and physics. One of those goals for my player controller was for it to walk on slopes without issues like sliding down when the player is not moving. I am also inexperienced with 2D platformer level design. 

Another reason that I delayed my metroidvania project, is that I realized am just one solo developer almost in his 20's and currently only works his Macbook that is at least four years old. I am trying not to make excuses but things for me personally are not so easy outside of my game development life. I deeply understand my own limitations technically and mentally.

From what I heard on the internet, is that professional programmers and game developers say that it is better to create a bunch of smaller games than to focus on one big game.

I am currently working on another web game. In the mean time, I had created a remastered version of my most popular games Takoyaki and Takoyaki Remix made all the way back in 2022. The project is officially called Takoyaki Deluxe. Takoyaki Deluxe was a short project I worked on over my winter break from last year. Finishing the project even though I know I could had done better, had felt good. Finishing a game project is the best feeling on developer can have. The game Takoyaki Deluxe is out now and you can also download it on Windows!

For those of you wondering, I am not going to be working on anymore Takoyaki games for now. I am currently working on what I would consider my "spiritual successor" from Takoyaki.

Anyways, I will try to be more active socially by trying to release more games this year. I would also like to release videos on Youtube later this year. However I am not good at making amateur quality Youtube videos and I don't have the best software for recording and editing videos.

For anyone reading this, I hope you had a good day :)
