I would have done hey ya but this feels better on the off chance anybody understands please see https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1184488329/ if you do not understand what the desert is. doesn't explain the plot but kinda gives you a summary, if you look around.... ;) according to the scratch API I shared this: Total Days: 2 days Total Hours: 58 hours Total Minutes: 3,534 minutes Total Seconds: 212,084 seconds so the counter's inaccurate. I don't care
starting something new if I don't finish chapter 1 of the desert in a year, I'll change my "about me" to: "stupid idiot who can't keep a deadline and who's game (it's been in development for 2+ years) is only 35% done, and it's only chapter 1/10" edit: so i've now realized I might as well just put it here. Bit of a cool backstory on how The Desert's current build was made: Chapter 1's project was firstly created on Febuary 29th, 2024 *or so. something like that.* Even then, it wasn't going to be the desert (just following along with Griffpatch's platforming engine) but later, around June, I figured I would finish what I would call a "pre-beta" on June 5th, 2025 (because I would be too busy playing Deltarune) I headed back to a project (at the time, it was a sequel to one of my earlier games, "bad platformer") and I tried to reskin it. I added a lot, a title screen, music, etc. Eventually, June 5th came, and it was *no way complete* to my standard of a "pre-beta." The "update on the desert" project was then renamed to that, since that was my original announcement for the pre-beta. I still tried to release it as a "pre-beta," but later I figured out that I would never finish it unfinished, so fully finishing it is better, and it being unshared gives me more motivation. The Desert is currently going through issues regarding the "?" sprite glitch recently, so development is paused right now, and I am focusing on other games. might as well go ahead and change it lol not much work on td has been started since this project was shared though, I am grounded rn =( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvmiXr_TEqo is the music, and I don't know the gif's origin. Anything else was made by me, ofc.
