I am perfectly fine waiting for the game not only because it will lead to a better game future-wise but it also allows me to save money to buy the game. Please don't force yourself to do updates cause it may lead to you not liking how the game comes out after all the time you took on it. Can't wait to see your new ideas and how your game continues to grow!

That means a lot :3 I’ve been putting too much pressure on myself like an idiot over this project when I should’ve just tried to chill in the first place, haha. I just got swept away cos I was totally unprepared to receive so much attention out of nowhere on an old demo that I hadn’t really intended to work on until doing other things I wanted to do first x3 But after Manly played it and more people started discovering the project from there, I just panicked I think and felt like I had to force myself to try and get more done at a time when I was already working on other things and had other plans >.<
Some close friends actively encouraged me to abandon the other projects and plans that I wanted to work on in favour of switching to DD, and I know they were only trying to help because they wanted me to be successful, but my brain doesn’t do a very good job of switching tasks at the drop of a hat like that x3
I released the original jam version of DD as a self-contained story specifically because I knew I wanted to continue it in the future, but with a scope that wasn’t practical at the time x3 I didn’t really think people would play it, haha. And it didn’t get many views or downloads until Manly’s video. But then it was like, oh shit, now loads of people are seeing my super rough concept >.< and I was really worried people might not realise that the old jam version wasn’t a very good representation of where I wanted to take the project as a whole, so I rushed to try and put together a new demo to give a better idea of my vision for it… buuuut, it doesn’t really do the best job of that still >.<
But yeah, you’re right, I’ll just end up unhappy with it if I rush it, and I don’t wanna make something I’m not happy with because then I’d be too ashamed of it to release it, haha.
Thank you for being so supportive :3 I hope you've had a nice weekend and that you have a happy week ahead!!
