Okay, so TAoC has been very still lately. I think I haven't been making much progress lately. I'm really trying not to throw myself a pity party here, but I've been dealing with autistic burnout for over a year now, with very little progress on reversing its effects. (I failed half a credit in ELA, and now I'm on probation...) Anyway, the progress I have made so far is in my previous project. I strongly encourage you to check it out if you're interested! Highlights include: -It has music now! (I composed it lol ;-;) -I made a background so the level doesn't look like an infinite void. I'm hoping that I can lock in soon, because I've actually drawn up an extended level plan for the first level (which, despite issue 3 saying otherwise, is not complete on account of it being wayyyyyyy too short.) Now, do you see that hand-drawn Chewy on this project? I really, REALLY want to change the art style of the game to match that. I think that it would give the game a little more heart. (I also really like drawing Chewy like that. Look at him! Gentleman!!!) Anyway, that's really all I have to report. See you whenever I put out another TAoC News, because I'll probably only do an MLG Direct at the beginning of each year (I am simply not that interesting) _______________ After posting this brief revival issue of TAoC News, I will try to post an edited version of this project on my YouTube channel with additional visuals and depth. I can't make any promises, though.
P.S. Chewy is not my OC. He's based on my real-life cat who is also named Chewy. He is very pattable. P.P.S. This project is burning me out, big time. I'm tempted to take a very long hiatus while I discover ways to recover my productivity. So far, I've discovered that I'm encountering a lot of self-imposed pressure by comparing myself to my peers constantly. And it's not something I can simply "turn off." Whether I intend to or not, I always end up disappointed in myself because I'm not posting that many projects or I'm not getting my homework done when everybody else is. And I've tried to rationalize these thoughts, but THAT never works, so I'm a little stumped.
