Hello everyone!

I am so so sorry for how long it took for me to get back to you. (I also made a video about this, give it a watch if you want.)

I really hope there are still people who are interested in Lullaby.
If you are: Thank you so much for not giving up on me! Welcome back!
And if you are new: Welcome!

I have honestly no excuse as to why I have stopped working on this project. I just lost motivation for a while.
But with things how they are now (who would have thought that we would live through a wolrd-wide pandemic?), I wanted to use the bit of extra time I now have to start working on the game again.

I recently watched a video on YandereDev and how the way he started working on Yandere Simulator objectively just wasn't very smart.

It kind of opened my eyes and I recognized my flaws, the way I had been working on the game until now was just ineffective and not smart. Instead of getting the ground works done, like all the events and the story line; I started trying to get every little detail right, making everything interactable and so on. (Mostly because that was the most fun to me.)

I realize now that to proceed, I need to get all the ground work done - and then I can work on the details.

Also, I'm really glad that I didn't make a patreon. I feel foolish for even considering it... It would have been borderline cringey and also unfair because I haven't worked on it for so long. (Or maybe I would have been more motivated to keep working on the game? Who knows.)

Point is: I don't EVER wanna be one of these people that take people's money but then have nothing to show for it.

So now I want to get back to working on this game - first working on the "skeleton" so to speak - and then refining it. Well, refining it as much as I can, since it's still the first game I have ever made (and it probably won't be a very long one.

As of now, I have made a bit of progress and a few changes.

I finished the first "obstacle" the player has to overcome to progress the story and I researched a bit more about puzzles. I fixed the way the pictures of the characters look. After a few people have been mentioning that the pictures look off/pixel-y, I was able to change the size of the pictures in-game and they look much better!





I know how I want the storyline to play out and I've thought about how I want to make this game a bit more unsettling (and scary).
Also, you now can choose to skip the intro of the game if you want to.

While it will take a long while until this game will be finished, I am determined to get it done eventually. I want to do my best.
So, if there is anything new to report (even if it will take a few months again- although I hope it won't) I will keep you updated.

Until next time!
