It has been a long time since the last entry, in which I had told that it’d be the case. In this one, I’ll try to go through what has happened in the meantime.

At the end of March, I had set the goal for myself: the content. It’s safe to say that I’ve walked in this direction with a precision that even amazed myself. I’ve spent little time anything other than levels. Thus, the skeleton began to appear and the first playable build has arrived.

You dream of that release button, followed up by positive and encouraging player comments on the bottom of the page, maybe some coverage on press websites. Of course you’d be sharing that store page pretty much everywhere, right? That’s the result of your two year’s hard labor. If you don’t, why did you make the game, then?
