in 2019 I started work on an idea for a game that revolved around digging and mining underground with your friends. That turned into me writing a 30 page binder in study hall in my highschool about an infinite and dangerous labyrinth where people are sent to die/live out their days.
Well that game faded away and it never got done.
It always stuck in the back of my mind. In fact it got far enough along that it basically had everything but multiplayer so I ended up turning all of those assets into a singleplayer introduction to an idea of what I wanted. Basically a an advanced prototype -

- and I left it alone.
I came back to a few projects and even made a post about my history in failures a few months ago.
Now, I am finally coming back to it, from scratch, and with a set time and plan in mind (working with a programmer that is making sure we get this done as well).
The plan for the game is to release it into a private alpha on Steam.
(to get updates and private keys you would need to join us in our discord I just opened https://discord.gg/VHpGTB4MZ6 )
We will have a build out within the next 2 months there. More posts should be made about it.
To be perfectly clear. We have the multiplayer framework and a lot of basic needs done. Now we are on to core functions like a newly designed inventory (almost complete) that should give you more player freedom than seen in any game ever besides maybe Project Zomboid or Dwarf Fortress. We will then move onto our crafting/building system (building is done but we need to advance the system), and then AI. All while that is happening art is being made as well as our future plans.
