#duplicityvn

Progress is still continuing as planned. If I'm unable to post to itch, I'm gonna make a Patreon and post a google drive link there.

That's pretty much it .w. I'm still dealing with health stuff (pneumonia twice and another procedure =A=) so progress is slow.

But I'm not giving up! I'm fighting myself to stay on track 💪🏼

Take care bunnies!

Helloooooo

I'm very sleep-deprived over the events of the last few days, and in general the last week because I've been very sick. So take what I'm about to say at face value, mostly because I'm just throwing general ideas out there for my own self hahaha.

I'm going to put my energy today into re-thinking Duplicity. I'm talking about a massive overhaul. From today on, consider the current demo and the characters to be null and void and non-canon, just enjoy it for the goofy thing it is in its current state.

The entire story will be reworked, rewritten, and redrawn. I may reuse some backgrounds LMAO because I just can't with the background art man. The characters will still be the same though! Griffin, Taipan, Tris, Dell, and others will be included in the game, but their overall personalities and back stories will be redone to be more concise and cohesive so I'm not making it up on the fly anymore.

I will be removing Sophie from the game because I've come to realize that what I had planned for her story line goes against my morals personally. (that sounds real bad lskdjglsk she wasn't going to be hurt i swear) But I don't think having a character who is portrayed as a minor is a good thing to have in the game when she's not inherently related (like sister or niece or w/e) to any of the characters.

I'm going to go along with the original idea I had before I became obsessed with wanting to make a "yan game". I think it's a solid idea, I think it will overall be a lot better received, and I think I'll be able to write it better.

There won't be any NSFW in the base game, but I'll think about including a paid option for it, only because if I write it, I want compensation LMAO sorry but not really. I'm not a smut writer, I don't enjoy writing it.

Anyway, that's all I had to say. uvu Take care of yourselves, bunnies.

I hate making these posts because it genuinely makes me feel like just another one of "those" devs. But honestly, I'm putting Duplicity on an indefinite hiatus. Right now, I don't have the focus to put the work into it that it needs.

I'm tired of it feeling like an elephant just looming over my shoulder and it's making me feel like I can't enjoy doing anything else. It's becoming a chore rather than something that I like working on.

I could also blame this on my shift to a more dark romance genre rather than yandere. I'm finding myself writing and leaning towards that, and it's not something that works with the yandere genre. I don't want to perpetuate nor condone toxic relationships or obsessive love by mixing the two together.

Or something like that. (had a long day, no thoughts, head empty)

Anyway, for now, Dupe will be suspended. Feel free to continue sending asks, I'll still answer those. But art and other stuff are on the back burner for now until I can love it again.

If you want to keep up with me or my work, my main blog is indycinders

My new project blog is loneriver-chronicles, and my artblog is cindersarts. I'll still make games! Just... this one needs a break, and so do I.

Thanks,

LOOK AT MY BABY LOOK AT HIM SHINE AHHH
