Hey, this is Kayin, just checking in after a long while, as people have expressed concerns about the game. The answers to these concerns are rather boring.
In short there is no news. There is nothing to update you on. The game isn't canceled, nor are there some huge technical issues or bugs. The game is as it was a few months ago: Painfully close to being finished.
So why nothing? I'm not one to dance around the truth. I was, and have for a long time been pretty burned out. Working alone is hard. While many people have helped me work on BEP, at the end of the day, I'm putting it together alone. Pair that with the numerous major world issues going on right now and well... I needed some time. To cope with world events, to recover from my burnout, and to be available to my family.
That said, I've felt in a much better place of late.⠀I'm not going to make any promises or give any timelines. I'm just going to say the game is 99.9% done. How long will that 0.1% take? When will I get to it? I don't know. Like a windows update, stuck at 74% for 20 minutes, sometimes it just is what it is. This is part of the reason I've never asked for money or did a kickstarter or anything like that. I don't want any of you to trust me with anything outside your excitement, because I don't know how long things take me. I can only know when they're finished.
That said, I hope to bring you good news MUCH sooner than later, but even if it turns out to be "much later", rest assured the game isn't dead. I've come way too far for that to be an option.
