Development Update

Hey everyone, I know I've been silent for a long time on this and though I've posted some updates on my Twitter regarding the project, I wanted to post something here to give you all a status update on Warrior of the North Wood. The good news is that this project isn't dead! I've still been working on it to see what I can do to continue but there's been a major challenge in front of me which has prevented any forward movement up until now. The problem being the game engine. In short: I picked the wrong engine. It won't do what I want to do and in order to hack it into something that remotely works, I have introduced a litany of bugs and issues that simply cannot be resolved. In the end, I basically chose the most inefficient method to do the most simple tasks and I paid for it with the current mess I have on my hands. It lead me to the most obvious, though also most painful conclusion. The game, in it's current state, has to be completely scrapped and recoded from the ground up. This has just been an incredibly daunting task for me and between my day job, my night job and personal life, it's been so difficult to sit down and actually invest the time into learning a whole new engine and rebuilding everything. Why do I bring this up now? Well, because there's been an exciting development.

A good friend of mine saw the project as it is and offered to re-code it for me! They were very excited by the game and has been eager to get started in repurposing everything I've already built and coding it into something that is significantly more efficient, more streamlined and less buggy. What's more, I'll actually be able to use all the assets I've already created for the new, second area and the first boss fight in this new build! So while I have nothing to show as of now, I just wanted to let you all know that we could be having some very exciting developments very soon and I'll keep you all abreast as things progress.
