Man, it was so nice to read this, thank you a lot ❤
I don't remember reading anything that cute!
Well, yea, trying to stress less, be more productive and well enjoy life in general was the main focus for the past few years for me. And well, i have a lot to reach still, but i think i did good progress anyway! Also working with the artist helped a lot. Not sure if you saw my last game, Fruit Idle, but yea, it was made with the artist, and it looks really good. And i plan to continue working with the artist on next games. So team work and stuff helped me a lot. I was making my games totally alone before and well it was pretty easy to fall into depression. It's still happens a lot, but not THAT a lot. And like, there are a lot obvious things to do to keep yourself in a better state, but i found out that most things just dont work for me, so i had to figure out my own things, and well, it's really hard, but i gain some progress anyway i think, so it's nice already.
So, i really wanted to update DFI, but expectations was just so high, and my skills was pretty bad. Also code base for the game was shit. So i spent half a year trying to release something and just end up fully depressed. So i abandoned all attempts at some point and moved on to the new games. And well, it helped!
Im not sure when, but i really want to work on DFI 2. I think im ready now, both in terms of skills and my mind state. But i need to establish myself in terms of money still. So i will have to make more smaller games before starting to work on DFI 2. And im not sure how much will it take, but if everything goes well i think somewhere in 2023 sounds pretty possible. So join discord to stay tuned!
Thank you a lot again, it was really nice of you ❤
