Absolution: Way of the lost (DEMO)
Important SURVEY
Hello. As you may know from my last post, development resumed recently.
I have bad news. I can't seem to write at all for the past week. I worry that I won't be able to finish Absolution in a timely manner as I haven't been in the best place emotionally this past week and I don't know how to make it stop. I've been having breakdown after breakdown, separated by periods of either sleep or trying to sleep. I got a cat which I thought would help my emotional stability but it's been taking up so much time and focus that I can't do anything else and it stresses me out so much to completely stop working for no apparent reason.
With that said, I made a survey for you guys, asking about the fate of the project. Here is is: https://forms.gle/9itvvobviKQDouGq9

Just take a break and when you feel happier then you can resume developing the game. Make sure you get enough sleep, see a professional if you think it's necessary, take care.
I have completed the demo after seeing this announcement so i can give my opinions. I hope you feel better soon, don't push yourself too hard and be pressured to hurrying the development, i'll wait however long it is cuz i already took a liking to the project!
Thank you <3
Your health is very important and you need to do whatever you need so you can be happy and healthy. That said, a comment I'd like to make on the game is that I would like if there were more gender and/or pronoun and body options for your character. I hope you are doing better!
I like the main character having an identity of their own, and customization like that would go against my design philosophy. I thoroughly disagree with the approach of customizing how a character is only in a character creation screen, so to implement true customization would drastically increase the amount of dialogue options and therefore branches as you would need to account for all the different options. I do think customizing the main character's gender identity and pronouns to fit your vision of them is important in a game where the character isn't very defined for the purposes of immersion, but in a game like Absolution, the character has her own arc and her own story to tell and I felt like customization would take away from that.
Your health takes priority, so take as much time as you need :) We'll wait however long it takes :)
Thank you
