Hello, Everyone! Guess who's back...? That's right! It's me and MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIEEEEEEEEEE!!!
First, before I get into the upcoming news, I wanted to apologize to you guys for making you wait for such a long and not telling you anything about the project or what's going on with me.
For that, I'm truly sorry. I promise to do better in the future with these update messages for you guys.
(but i'm a very introverted person so please forgive me... 😅)
Okay soooo...I have a lot to unfold here so i'll just get on with it.
*what happened and why it took me so long?*
So the first time that I'd released Mannie back then in June, I was COMPLETELY distraught and burned out.
I was happy that i released my first commercial game but was not satisfied with the results...
The game was buggy, It didn't exceed my expectations, and I even got some criticism for the game (which I'm thankful for, but was hurt by it.) It was so bad back then, that I thought about not finishing Mannie anymore and just give up on my game dev journey for good.
I was like this... for a LONG time.
But then...
I couldn't stop thinking about Mannie, the characters, and the story I wanted to tell in this game.
I couldn't stop thinking about how disappointed and upset all the great wonderful people who helped me made this game, played it, talk about it, and wish to see more could have felt.
I thank every single one of these people for helping me and supporting my game.
Especially my good friend/artist: Debbie.
(Thank you, Debbie!)
Plus, it was like I had an insatiable urge to keep going even though I messed up in the end.
To pursue no matter how hard or difficult it became.
To persevere.
And just like that I came back.
buuuut I came back slowly, haha...
Anyway, enough mope talk. I wanted tell you guys what has changed in/out of the game!
For starters you might have noticed that Mannie has a little bit of a makeover/changeover...?
since the last time you saw her.
Her design got completely changed for reasons but I won't get into right now
cause this message is already being too long and and we would be here all day.😅
Second, there are 2 brand new characters in the game!
But I won't tell you who or what they are just yet.
you'll have to wait and see...😉
Third, there is now voice acting inside the game! So I hope you enjoy in that as well too.
- The intro emergency message has been removed entirely and change to a completely new captivating character.
Mannie also gets more difficult when the time passes by.
To make it a little bit more challenging.
and there is so much more, but I want to surprise you guys!
With that being said, I am on the final stage of releasing Mannie
(which is very, very soon.) so get ready!
Thank you so much for reading this update I greatly appreciate it 🙏 and remember I'm still here
and here to stay.
