First of all, I sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration surrounding the project. You are absolutely right to feel disappointed, especially after supporting the game financially and even paying above the asking price to help support my work. I genuinely appreciate that, and I never intended for the page to give a misleading impression.
The reality is that I started this project while working completely alone, and recently I also began my Software Engineering degree, which drastically reduced the amount of time I could dedicate to maintaining and updating the game properly. Over time, the original project became too difficult for me to continue in its current structure, and I started rebuilding many ideas into a newer project instead.
However, I recognize that I handled the page and update information poorly. The wording and recent page edits made it seem like the original game was still actively receiving updates when the downloadable build itself had not been updated for a long time. That is completely my mistake, and I fully understand why this felt misleading from your perspective.
To avoid confusing or misleading new buyers, I will remove the purchase option from the old project page while I reorganize everything properly.
The new project page is already published on my itch.io profile, although I still do not have a stable public playable build ready yet. If you would like, you can already take a look at the new visual direction and overall style of the game by visiting my profile and checking the newer project page there.
And of course, everyone who purchased and supported the original project will receive access to the new prototype for free once I have a playable version ready. I think that is the fairest way to thank the people who supported me early on.
Again, I truly appreciate your support and patience, and I’m sorry for the situation. I never intended to abandon the people who supported my work, and I’ll do my best to be much more transparent moving forward.
