The motives are pretty decent, although the mixing is not great. It's just not on par with what I want to be creating. Was it good enough for a gamejam, yes, but I think it could be very drastically improved.
The discord being down is because I cancelled the game, and the game being so close to celeste is one of the reasons why I decided to cancel it. It would have gotten farther away from celeste if I were to develop it further, since the combat and the movement downwards would be different to celeste. The demo was terrible for showcasing that though so you are right, and it being so close it is a problem. I might pick it up parts of it one day, probably the characters, the story and the visual style, but try something different with the gameplay.
That's the main reason I am currently making prototypes and just messing with a lot of different stuff. I tried the roblox engine, and I'll be messing around with pico-8 during this week, and I'll definitely learn something new from that. When I find a prototype I really like then that might become Nordic Niefel. I'm just too in love with the story and the moments it is going to bring the players to let that go.
I might make a new discord for all of my different wierd projects when the audience for what I create is bigger, so it becomes a bit more interesting.
