Health update 3

I was mindlessly browsing, classic me being unable to muster will to do anything productive, and I randomly clicked on F95 to see if there was something new, and I saw some updates on the thread of the game over there, so after reading the comments, I thought it would only be fair to make an update.

I know how things look, "game abandoned" "lazy dev baiting to make minimal updates". All I can say is that I really have the intention of finishing this shit and then move onto making new things, but sadly, speaking is easy, actions speak louder. It's been a rough couple of months, between feeling awful all day not being able to focus to do anything, and having much trouble sleeping; I also was trying some new pills, I just finished them like a week ago, and, I don't know if I could call it an improvement, but they were definitively doing something, and these last few days it seems the condition reverted back to when it was an inconvenience so I guess I can't complain about the results, although I still having much trouble sleeping, I started to have these leg cramps that absolutely prevent me from sleeping, although I noted last night they weren't as intense, but still lasted the same time so maybe they are going away? I will continue with the treatment, albeit with a less expensive alternative, those pills were too expensive for my liking seeing how long I would potentially have to take them.

If I don't get worse in the following days, I'll give it another try at the game; I think I've said this before, but I think for now the best approach is to just try to polish whatever I have now so I can upload so that means I have to have the enemies in the more simpler state; also fix the save system, which in my FnaF demo I made, I managed to code the save in a way that is future proof if I ever change a variable's name or add or remove one and old saves won't break, they just update, which was a huge problem back in og SpacEscape. Also have to fix the menus, and I think I remember having my friend playtest the game and the end credits were kinda broken, so that's another thing.

Speaking more on the game, something I've been thinking about lately, is in "dumbing" down chibitsuko, kinda like in RE games where your character moves a bit clunky on purpose so the enemies are more threatening, right now she honestly can do too much compared to the enemies; I would like to get away from the "losing on purpose" trope as much as I can. So, one thing I was thinking was making her actions a commitment, like instead of just outright firing at the press of a button, you have to aim first, and that takes a split second, same as shooting, it locks you in place a bit; but I don't want to get too hardcore like in "Parasite in the city" or Anthophobia. The idea is just level the playfield a bit so the enemies aren't just moving sex animations.

Anyway, that's all I have for now.
