Hey everyone, I want to take a moment to be completely honest with you all. As the sole developer of World of Islands and the co-developer of Deadly Night - No Escape, Ive poured my heart into these projects since I was 17. Game development has always been my passion, and Ive done everything I could to bring these games to life with the limited skills I have. However, life hasnt been easy. Over the past months (or years), Ive struggled with depression and personal challenges that have made it incredibly difficult to stay motivated and keep working at the pace I once did. I never intended to abandon World of Islands or Deadly Night - No Escape. The vision for both games is clear, and theres so much planned, so much passion behind them. But without the motivation to move forward, everything has felt like its collapsing. For Deadly Night - No Escape, I have a friend working alongside me, but weve always been like a right and left arm, one cant function properly without the other. Because of my struggles, development on that project has stalled as well. That said, I havent completely stepped away. I recently finished writing World of Islands full story and included it as a free novel with the Early Access version. Unfortunately, Ive received reports that some players are unable to find or download it, and Ill do my best to fix that as soon as possible. To everyone who has supported these games, waited for updates, and believed in what Im building, Im truly sorry for letting you down. I deeply appreciate your patience and understanding. I dont know when Ill be able to fully return to development, but please know that I still care about these games and the people who enjoy them. Thank you for sticking with me.
