General Status Update

I wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about Smasher or abandoned it, I just underestimated how busy my life would be for such an extended period of time. I wanted to give some explanations and let you know my current situation and development plan.

The original plan and life situation: I worked on the level editor to get it released ASAP, I didn't quite get it done before school started up, but I did finish the update shortly after.

I was originally going to graduate from university in December, and resume development after graduation. However, due to a misunderstanding in my plan of study, I needed to attend for an additional term.

I thought that I would be less busy than I was the previous term due to a lighter course-load and lack of prep needed for some really important exams. I was wrong, but also extra busy due to factors that will be discussed shortly.

My current term of school ends in mid-March, but immediately after, I'm moving across the US to be with my significant other. Due to this, a couple of things are complicating things. For one, I'll be without my main computer for about a month as it ships to my new place.

Additionally, in order to pay for the move, I picked up some extra work in the form a YCH comic, which has also been eating into my time.

So what's the plan? When can you expect more Smasher?

After I graduate in March and move right around the beginning of April, I'll be taking some time to decompress and tinker with some smaller projects. While I won't have my main workstation, I'll have my laptop, which can handle development on small, and sort of weird little game projects. I should be receiving my workstation around the 25th of April, and from there, should finally be able to resume some work on Smasher, starting with some much-needed improvements to the level editor, power system, new levels, and bug fixes.

I did also want to say that I very much want to make more games than just Smasher and those smaller projects in the interim, expect them in the coming year(s)!

Thank you all so much for your patience and support with Smasher!
