Sorry for being quit for awhile
Didn't realize it's been 3 months since my last Devlog, but a lot of things have happened. For one, I felt my game, THE FERRY, was pretty much finished; however, one issue I was given by a friend was that while most of the game is fine, the actual driving of the Ferry back and forth was pretty tedious, and there could be dozens of things that I could try to remedy that. There is the issue of how much recoding and reworking the game would require, and if it would require additional assets, I need to get my hands on making the change work.
Then things dived when some internet drama that gave me some anxiety that made me need to take a break from things until I got my mind back together, but when my mind finally got together after a month, I had a bunch of other work I needed to take care of, and so another month passed or so past while taking care of other work.
Now, while a lot of work has been completed, I can finally go back to work on THE FERRY remake, but personally, I don't know what I should do with it cause after so much time has passed from working on it, there are other things I need to still work on, new project ideas I want to explore, etc. I have been told that there are a bunch of Horror Job games that have pretty tedious gameplay, so it might just be best to release THE FERRY as is, and just make it clear that the game is gonna have that tedious aspect. Though I am still unsure if I should do that or really try to fix that aspect of the game.
So, it's still a debate I am going through, and I'm open to suggestions. Again, sorry for the radio silence for some time.

Take your time with The Ferry man! The original experience was great already, if you wanna explore new things now go for it, we'll be here if you update The Ferry or release a new project either way man
DEFINITELY let the project cook. Flesh it out and deliver something you are proud of.
I would still play a new Ferry game as well. I follow you on itch so i'll be waiting for whatever you release o7 o7
i loved The Ferry as it was, honestly. If you feel like you need to explore something new that may be best. Glad you stepped away from the internet drama for a bit! Also glad you are back to working on a project. Hopefully you find something you can be certain you want to work on :)
