I lost my will to do any more work on this project for sometime now. This is not a small project for 1 person and adding or fixing new features was taking longer and longer cuz of the complexity to the point that it demotivated me, also the review was very bad that it pushed me even more the rabbit hole. So the project was stagnant while I was working on other small projects that was fun and was fast to complete and see results in a month.
changedI don't really know how long it will take to complete the game, but I will try to keep working on it. Feel free to leave your ideas on itch.io or any critics. For people who already purchased the game, thank you for your small support. The game will still be up on steam and you still will have access to the game and any future updates.
