So.... 38 people downloaded this game as of December 12th, 2022, 8 months after I officially posted it here on itch.io...
Maybe I did something wrong, who know s... Maybe I overshared in my response to the one comment, and it ruined any interest other people had in the game...
Whatever the reasons why, I take it that the game is dead....
So I'm taking the time now to explain some of the background stuff that went into Lone Wolf Nano.
In the lore of the game, Minos was once in love with someone.... during the chaos, this person eventually got hijacked by one of the creatures from the other dimension. Minos had to end his former lover with own hands. Seeing the fleeing couple in-game, it could be read that he didn't intervened right away out of jealousy. They still had each other, while he now had no one...
Nano's situation is more personal to me. They're not strong enough to work alone, but the same could be said of the times they tried to cooperate with others. They've just come to expect failure....
When I was working on this game, I looked at the other teams with a bit of idealized jealously, too. Here I was, working on something all alone, but I couldn't match a team of people in quality and quantity of content... I've never felt that I was good enough, artistically or in my writing. I want to work in a team, but based on my past couple of experiences, I'm afraid there's not a lot I can offer.
I tried to be hopeful back then, but I don't know if I can anymore.... My world is already ending.
