First, I've essentially had to recreate the entire game world. Second, procrastination. In game development (especially beginner game dev), it's very common to revisit and iterate on systems, we (as game developers) planned initially. In my very first devlogs, I mentioned that one of the main pillars of my indie game was replayability. And to achieve that goal, I wanted to make my indie game map procedurally generated. As a beginner game dev, it was proving difficult to implement game features on a map that was never set in stone. So, I decided to redesign the entire game map. Initially, I started building a map that was much larger than the procedurally generated map. Again, as a beginner game dev with limited development time, I realized filling this world with compelling NPCs, quests, enemies, etc. would take an extremely long time. Therefore, I decided to shrink the overall map size to something much more manageable. I've already planned out all of the zones and themes, and I'm excited to start filling it with compelling stories. Also, recently I've felt that I've been procrastinating on game development more than I usually do. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. In previous devlogs, I mentioned that I will only work on the game when I want to, to avoid burnout. It's not that I haven't wanted to work on the game, but I've just been caught up in other things. But I do want to release a demo for you all to try as soon as I feel confident enough.
