There won't be a Weekly Render this week because I just wasn’t in the right state of mind all week to get anything done. I had a lot of IRL issues that needed attention (and still do). I’ve also been contemplating the game itself. No, I’m not planning to abandon development. I’m considering whether to switch the game to the well-known and beloved Ren'Py engine or to Godot

With the first option, I’ll be limited by the tools of a visual novel framework. In the second option, I won’t be limited at all, but it will require more knowledge, skills, and practice to bring my ideas to life. The two most significant advantages of switching to one of these engines are:
1) Mobile version support
2) Support for translating the game into other languages

For now, these are just considerations. I might not switch engine at all and simply finish the game on the current one. However, it’s been taking up an INSANE amount of my time. When I first started working on this game, I couldn’t have imagined that I’d spend so much time fixing engine issues rather than focusing on actual game development. It’s exhausting

On top of that, I have a lot of personal matters to handle as they come up. One of the main problem for me right now is work. I’m trying to find a job that allows me to dedicate time to game development while still having at least a little bit of free time. Most of the jobs I’ve encountered so far have a 5/2, which doesn’t leave me enough time for developing

Anyway, units, I’m not giving up on anything! Thank you all for your support; it truly means a lot to me
