On hold but for good reason


Hi everyone, Mike here

As per my last update, I moved to a new city last year and in the process lost ambition for working on Castaway. That's not to say I've abandoned the project completely, I've actually started updating the art style and working on new mechanics to flesh this proof of concept out more.

Knowing my experience in game development is limited, the scope of Castaway started to grow beyond my capabilities. I have so many ideas for what I want this game to be but have no way of making it a reality currently. Then, inspiration took me in another direction.

So, I started a new project, something smaller in scope and technicality. I'm a few months into development and have already outpaced the work I was doing on Castaway by far. I've also become much more familiar with Pixel Game Maker MV, the engine I'm using for both games. The work I've done on my new game has taught me a lot of how to approach Castaway when I return to it. 

I'm so close to releasing the proof of concept demo for my new project, so keep an eye out for it here.

If you've played Castaway, thank you so much and rest assured I have not abandoned it.

Get Castaway
