thanks for the memories!

given the current situation surrounding the eddsworld fan movie being unfortunately cancelled, it’s very likely that should my work on this game progress, it would meet much the same fate

therefore i’ve decided to just end things right here

surprisingly i’m not very sad about this. i spent a good 4 years of my short life dreaming of this great project, only to find myself held back by mental health issues. eventually that crushing guilt of not being able to live up to my own expectations became a weight too much for me to bear and rendered me unable to work on the game at all. letting this game go, getting that weight off my shoulders, i think is the healthiest thing possible for me right now. that’s a decision i’ve been thinking about for a while, and recent events helped to solidify my answer

i’m not going to delete this blog. despite all the long depression posts i’ve made, i have a lot of good memories here, and i don’t want to ever forget both the progress i’ve made as a person, and the kindness i received from you all. i think i will go ahead and delete the twitter and youtube channel though, never did anything with those anyway so no harm done

so, i won’t be answering any further asks, i’m just going to say, that’s it, this is the end

of the game and blog at least

a part of me still truly believes in the story i want to tell, so i’m thinking of switching mediums from game to fanfic, which also means no bumping into legal issues so that’s a major plus! i hope ._.

anyway, i want to thank you all for sticking with me these past few years, through thick and thin, and boy was there a lot of thick. 

i’ve got a few other projects i’ve been working on, both original and fandom based, so if you’d like to see what kind of bumpy roads i run into next you can follow me @pixel-hearted​, my main blog, which i’m going to try to reblog things on more often lol. so if you have any questions for me, please direct them there! and if i do decide to pursue armageddon as a fanfic, i’ll post updates there, not here

thanks again for the 4 years of growth, understanding and healing

i wouldn’t trade it for anything <3

uhh, i don’t really know how i should go about saying this, it’s been so long... i guess i’ll try not to ramble too much

so,,,, where have i been? what’s the status on the game?? am i alive???

long story short.... depression and anxiety hit me like a truck full of bricks. i always knew i had it, but i didn’t realize how severe it really was until i started working more in the public eye. it suffocated me to the point where i ... really just had a complete meltdown and couldn’t handle anything anymore; even real life stuff. i abandoned all of my social media, excommunicated myself from my friends, dropped out of school, and kinda just,,, holed myself up in my bedroom, paralyzed by guilt

that’s how it’s been for the past few years, just me trying to work myself back up to being a functioning human being. i’ve been taking medication, but it wasn’t quite helping enough, so just in the past few months i’ve started counseling, and things have been progressing okay. it’s slow,,, and i often worry about taking too long to feel better,, but i’m finally in a decent enough place where,,, i can finally say something to you guys

i... really want to start working on this game again.

i’ve done almost no work on it since i left, i couldn’t, it reminded me too much of how horrible i felt letting you all down,,,,, but, i still really believe in the concept, and i know the story’s there,,, and, i think that closing this chapter of my life will be really instrumental in helping me move forward

i don’t know if i’m ready to start yet,, i don’t know when i will be,, but i really do want to finish this. i know i can. maybe just starting anew, with a fresh canvas, could help me to become ready

i guess now i just want to say,,, thank you guys

i’ve read every kind message you all have left me in my inbox over the years,,, every single one, often as soon as i got them... i was just, too scared,, i felt too guilty to say anything back. this is my attempt to finally reply

thank you, really, for everything you’ve said

i’ll try to have more of a presence on here, including my main blog, so you guys know i’m here

i really want to make this right, so i hope you all can forgive me. i hope i’m not too late.

thanks for your time. here’s to the future~!

thank you for being so nice and understanding. i don’t know what i did to deserve so many nice messages, but thank you so much. i promise it’s not going to take 7 years to make, i would punch myself if it did lol

ahhhh... thank you for understanding

i know what i’ve said and i absolutely hate myself for doing this, i know how long you’ve all waited. i’m a horrible person for doing this to you all, for what, the third time now? fourth? i’ve lost track. that’s so awful. unforgivable.

today was supposed to be the day. it’s the 28th. it was so so important to me that i got it out today

but i’m literally having a mental breakdown because i know for a fact that i cannot finish this today. if i release it today it would be so clearly unfinished that i’m sure nobody would enjoy it.. you guys deserve the perfect game, and i’ve been proven incapable of doing that. but i think just a little more time and i can finally get this done. 

it’s just a silly video game, but it means so much to me and it takes so long to do, i NEED it to be perfect or i’ll hate myself even more.

i thought i was ready. i thought i had everything under control but clearly not, i’ve been working nonstop and i just... can’t 

i keep making promises i can’t keep and end up hurting the people i care about, you guys. i’m sorry, i’m really really sorry

this is the last time i will make a post like this

sorry i’m such an awful person

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while, and I know I should have been updating you guys the whole way though, it just got very difficult for me to do after a while. Life has just been very exhausting the past few months (what with the whole college thing and the possible depression thing), but! I’m okay now! And I’m very pleased to share with you all some new information on the demo, and what I’ve been working on!

You’ve all been waiting so long for the demo, wondering what’s been happening, well, I’m happy to announce that the updated version is nearly complete! After a 1 - 2 month break in development for my own mental health’s sake, I’ve managed to pull myself together and get it done! Now let’s talk about what this new version includes:

Glitch and bug fixes: Every glitch that was reported when the game first came out has now been fixed! The game should run smooth as butter now, glitch-free! (hopefully lol)

Major graphics overhaul: Thanks to some recent technological innovations, I’m no longer restricted to a default color palette. What does this mean? It means in every individual sprite, I can use up to 256 colors of my own choice, rather than using a very limited preset color scheme. All of the graphics will look a lot more detailed now, and things like character skin and hair color will be a lot more accurate!

Remixed music: A few songs will sound the same as what you remember, but certain older songs and songs I felt were not my best have been remixed and sound great! So hopefully you guys will enjoy them too!

New features and secrets: There are many more secrets to discover, things that tie into the overarching plot, and things that’ll hopefully make you smile!

Last but not least, I don’t think “demo” is a fitting title for this game now. It’s been built up so much, I think it deserves it’s own identity. 

I think... Eddsworld Armageddon: Prologue is a much more fitting title, don’t you agree?

Now I bet you’re thinking “hey this sounds pretty cool and all but when’s it coming out?” Get this:

Eddsworld Armageddon: Prologue is set to release on October 28th, less than a week away from now.

Now you must be thinking “that’s cool but are you actually going to get it done on time and not delay it for the billionth time?”, but listen, this is an extremely important date. This is an extremely important project to me. If I can’t get this game out on that specific date, then I might as well not release it at all. I’ve delayed this far too many times, I’ve made people wait long enough. I don’t care if I have to pull all-nighters, I am going to get this done.

So I hope you all can forgive me for being so silent. I’m ready to come back, and I’m coming back with a bang!

beepbox.co is the tool I use, it’s a great free online tool that’s very versatile once you get the hang of it! I love it to pieces!
