Producer’s Log | Episode. 000: This Game Is Driving Me Insane

[p]Book of Yog: Season Edition——this name might have started as a satire or a form of self-irony when the project was first established.[/p][p][/p][p]We called it the "Season Edition" because two years ago, we mistakenly believed that the Book of Yog was nearing its end. It did have many flaws, so we decided to transform it into a more satisfying idle game—one that was purer and more fun (and, well, we also hoped to make some money).[/p][p][/p][p]Unexpectedly, Book of Yog made it past its third anniversary, while the Season Edition fell into confusion. One day, when I opened it, a voice inside me asked: [b]Would you actually enjoy playing your own game? Would you be willing to spend another three years maintaining it? Deep down, the answer was no. I didn't even find the game fun myself, and the more I worked on it, the more I felt untalented.[/b][/p][p][/p][p]That inner voice told me—time flies, and it's time to make a more meaningful game. A game like Diablo II, like Grim Dawn. Because I love the thrill of grinding, exploring maps, and hunting for loot. The combination of [b]"Anime Girl + Diablo II"[/b] excites me. [b]I want to tell those traditional mobile game designs that rely on "level caps" and "resource bottlenecks" to go f**k themselves.[/b][/p][p][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45261797/aa0b5e1e47042125c582d34858863aca8c5c5ef9.jpg"][/img][/p][p]If we continued without changing direction, we could launch within six months. It would bring us temporarily secure income, and we could revisit this idea again in 2–3 years. Starting over now would mean wasting millions, and we'd have to keep exploring step by step—the worst-case scenario being that we might not make it all the way.[/p][p][/p][p]One path offers stability; the other is full of uncertainty. If you were in our shoes, which would you choose?[/p][p][/p][p]In the end, we chose the "harder" path. We believe that "Anime Girl + Diablo II" will bring more value to players. More importantly, time won't wait for us. If there's a chance, I'd rather take risks while we're still young.[/p][p][/p][p][b]Finally,[/b][/p][p]This series will continue to receive updates. We humbly ask for your support. Every time you "add it to your wishlist," it becomes a precious star lighting our way forward—letting us know that we're not walking this path alone.[/p][p][/p][p][url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2737950/_/?curator_clanid=41124720"]Steam 上的 依盖之书:纯净版[/url][/p][p][/p][p][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45261797/e556b6f0390f6a924a56ccb03437ed8b810f9149.png"][/img][/p]
