Restarting development

Purpose
A browser Visual Novel made in HTML5

Hey there, my name is Christopher, and I am the solo developer behind Purpose.

I originally started Purpose way back in October of 2021, with the intention of writing multiple chapters, having all these different features, etc., etc. Unfortunately, the scope of the project (which was my first game) quickly caught up with me, and I stopped work after finishing Chapter one in December of 2021.

I was going through my itch.io at the start of this month and saw I never actually released what I had worked on, and so, even with all the backend systems turned off, I decided to release the game in a "canceled" state; assuming no one would play it, and more for archival purposes than anything else.

But alas, half a month has gone by and a few people have actually played the game, much to my surprise. So, I'm writing this post to inform those few people, that I will, as best I can, restart development, as well as turn on the backend systems again (to allow for cloud saving).

Let's see what the future holds.

- Christopher M.
