Hello there!

so this is one the WIP Projects done (the first of the two) it took a bit longer than expected but rushing sometimes makes for a bad output that is pointless.

it was a really fun experience seeing it working with minimum bugs and high polish, especially the online aspect of it oooh man it was stressing me out at the start, but step by step i was there and it was glorious (for me as a first).

also i'm glad to say that i kept a journal -kinda- that i decided to record my daily progress in, and also as a todo list, by the end i realised it was basically a simple version of a gdd, so here it is, BEHOLD the captains log:

as you can see almost everyday of the last month was work, i was learning some new stuff, and it was kinda like creating two separate game at once, and you've probably noticed the other stuff, i joined a game jam to try it out for the first time, and worked on updating my old project a little but.

the -- represents a day i didn't work on the project on, so the project took me 29 days of work an 36 days of life.

at the end i'd like for you all to enjoy it now, i made it free for a while also i don't plan on charging much for it later, so grab two copies for you and your pal and have a bit of fun.
