Hello friends! I hope this finds you all healthy and full of enthusiasm for the coming New Year. First, I must apologize for the long silence. There is a rather prosaic reason for it however - the development has been on halt through most of Fall 2020. I will not go into much detail about why things didnt go as planned this year, I am sure we all have a similar story of upset plans from 2020, and will not soon forget them. Instead, let us focus on what is ahead. The good news is - the project is now much better on its feet in financial terms. Using unorthodox gamedev technology (the notorious *Java*) turned out to have at least this perk - the skill allows me to have a sustainable income without sacrificing too much time for it. Yes, in the form of a somewhat boring corporate job - but after all, who would know best about selling one's soul than me, a man with a whole story written about it? The proceeds from that bargain however will not be idly spent. The art direction will be revisited to accomodate the updated, ever more _psychological_ vision that Eidolons pursues. In the passing months, the story has grown considerably in my mind and in my private ominous texts. And yes, I am planning to get a "real" writer on board as well, never fear! :) The story has already gone through some revisions by others, which has helped me to keep it on just about the right side of weird. I hope. Either way, I am very much convinced that it is a story worth telling, hence my unwillingness to give up on the project, despite its apparent weight. Gameplay-wise, I have come up with a number of ways to compress the games extensive ruleset and make it more interconnected, reflective of the games main theme - the (dis)unity of the Soul! To conclude let me say that my own belief in the project has never been stronger, or should I say, my own insight into it. It might be too early to set concrete goals, but once the team is re-organized, things should get clearer as the worst problem has been solved for the project (namely, its financial instability). Thank you very much for your patience and support. It am sure that 2021 will be the year to get back at its predecessor!
