Down Dockside; Year-Long Project Pause
Hello, everyone!
Quite a long time no see, eh?
I hope that you've all had a wonderful festive season, and a great new year! ^^
There's some news about Down Dockside that I need to share with you all, but, to sum it up, the game is going to be taking a year-long hiatus.
… yup, a whole year.
And here's why:
I jumped in - headfirst - without properly planning things out. I had no great idea on how to code, no great idea of what artwork I'd want, or how I'd want to use it. Hell, there's even a glaring plothole that popped up in October that would make the vn… really meh.
Aside from that, I'm horribly, horribly bad at… people-ing (which isn't great for marketing/engagement), and these are all issues that I should have (in hindsight), fixed up beforehand.
And that's why the novel is going to be taking a year-long hiatus.
Because I landed a new job (yay!), I'll be able to save up for any assets (like music, coding, additional artwork, and so on) that the novel will need; instead of ham-fisting together solutions to problems as they pop up.
I will also no longer be working with TommySamash, because I have a friend I see irl who'll be jumping on to handle the artwork front. I still really do love TommySamash's art (and them both!), and can't recommend them enough for commissions! They're an absolute joy to work with, and you can check them out for commissions and artwork over yonder: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/samashtommy/
…
I think that's about it from me!
I wanna wrap up the rambling, by thanking each and every one of you for supporting the game. I want to make this vn as good as I possibly can, but that'll take some time. I'll be keeping you all updated on my socials, so, keep an eye out on progress throughout the year if you're interested.
Till then!

PS. If you were a patron for the game, please head on over to Patreon, where I've DM'd all patrons who've pledged since the month of October for information on refunds. ^^
