Also level design for this game is sooooo much easier than it ever was for Inkwell. Why on earth did I make my first ever game project so complicated???

Was hoping to get that new game I’ve been working on out at the end of April, but I’m not sure that’s happening. Aiming for mid-May

I want to make more but caaaaann’tt

I love watching my stupid little Mii homunculi make friends

This might be the most accurate Mii I've made of myself to date

Good lord why am I so afraid of level design?

Just realized I made a fatal syntax error in my website blog that made apostrophes and quotes not display correctly. And it’s been like that for over a week…
I fixed it now tho!

That’s unsurprising since Inkwell was largely built off of refactored Unity code I wrote nearly 3 years ago. Nothing short of a full rewrite would’ve fixed that and I just didn’t have it in me to restart development again

Been working on a new game and I have to say, it’s really liberating. It’s also made me realize just how bad Inkwell’s movement code was. It took almost no effort and far less code to get comparable movement in this new game

But with that, I've decided to release what I have. It isn't much and it's very unpolished, but I still enjoyed making it. It's also pretty fun for what it is. Feel free to try it out! Link to the download page is here: marblesense.itch.io/inkwell

So what does that mean for Inkwell itself? The game as it stands is done. I'm moving on. But I won't be abandoning the ideas that worked. You may still see the characters around on my socials, and some day I may return to the project with new and better ideas. (5/6)

So why am I saying "indefinite hiatus"? The truth is... I still love these characters and the world I made for them. The game as a whole may be a mess, but I still came out if it with things I could be proud of. It'd feel like a waste to abandon all of it. (4/6)

The original concept was a hodgepodge of ideas from childhood games I liked, both on the art and gameplay sides. The ideas I originally grabbed no longer appeal to me, and spending years trying to retool it into something I'd still enjoy making has left me burnt out. (3/6)

The project started all the way back in 2020, at which point I was very new to game development and had never finished a personal project before. Things have changed a lot since then, and what I've left myself with is a bit of a mess. (2/6)

This has been a long time coming, but I'm confident enough in my decision now to say that my long-time game project, Inkwell, will be going on an indefinite hiatus. (1/6)

Following the difficult decision of shelving the project, I've decided to make the latest test build of Inkwell public! You can play it at marblesense.itch.io/inkwell

Also the url is my full name bc I made it as part of my college final. Not that I'm trying to stay anonymous or anything, but I like having more control over my public-facing persona

My "professional" portfolio is kind of garbage so I'm learning html and css. Wish me luck

Thank you!

Here’s a closer look at Olly and his new model! Hopefully more to come as I work on the game’s new visuals

Id like to make a bigger effort to finish lots of small projects and artworks to have something to show off and build out my portfolio more. My endless pipe dream of a game won’t get me far on its own, even if I think it’s really cool
