Dev Luna, (At least this is what I think your name is) I really think you might need to make more Dev Logs about the 2.0 progress on Itch.io site, the last dev log was in 2024, for someone that doenst check comments, it might feel like this game is abbandoned. I know everyone has real life issues and other problems, but a small info once in a while would be greatly appreciated.

I would also love to play the game even if it was in a "Open beta" status with limited features, and from what I've seen from other games, the majority of the bugs gets discovered when thousands of people are playing at the same time... So it is a opportunity to fortify the base of the game, before building up more features.

Sorry for the yapping, however I wish you a great day and a pleasant development!

Hey,
I understand the reasons behind asking this.
I made devlogs when I felt I could and felt it was relevant (that's why there's a few), I don't have justifications other than I simply haven't been able to keep up with "PR", and I didn't want to have to.

It's hard to make public anouncements that are gonna disappoint people, "Hiatus yet again", after a while I just shut up and worked when I could. That sums it up.

Because of how difficult it is to put work into this, and one could say I'm about to do this out of guilt, I'm considering releasing an open beta, yes. Instead of a good finished app. And that's probably a bad idea. But I can't stand the pressure of expectation that is building up and I'm hoping the pressure that an incomplete release will bring won't be worse.
Cause I can't exactly put work into this, most of the time.
I wish I could "use the opportunity to fortify the game", that is SO not the problem. Player feedback will be the main problem, and I'll say this upon release, but I ask that no feedback is given and I will ignore everything until I've gotten the game in the state I want it to.

I did closed beta testing for a reason.
Anyway, just to be clear, this message isn't influencing what's about to happen, but coincidentally a release is probably near.

i mean if youre doing an open beta there should be a function to report major bugs that ruin the game / make it hardly play able

Cause posting a comment here hasn't been working so far, for that purpose?

Let's please not add more to the discussion, if it wasn't visible in my previous post, I am in no state to do any sort of plan or promises.
