Hello Everyone!
So as it has been noticeably obvious, Updates to Sky of Robloxia have, at the moment, been quite inactive. This is not without reasons. Right now I will answer 3 big questions: Why it has been inactive, what will happen in the future, and when to expect this.
So why has the games development been inactive?
As I've been trying to update game and work on it further, an obstacle began to overwhelm me: The game isn't as well programmed as it could be. Due to inefficiencies I wrote in the script a while back when I was a Beginner programmer, it is very challenging to improve certain systems or add any for the matter. This has caused me to become unmotivated to work on the game, and therefore seemingly inactive. This is not all, however. As of recent, I have founded along with user LordProxius a game development group, RareFront Entertainment. As we are hard at work on creating new games, I have found it more difficult to work on Sky of Robloxia due to time management. And of course, as cliche as it is, school for me has been very busy and difficult, and from it I have been trying to manage time to a reasonable balance.
So what will happen in the future?
Starting in a week or two, I am going to take some weekends along with more free time off to pretty much, simply put, reprogram Sky of Robloxia. While this may make the game faster, the main purpose is to make updating easier and not loom over the fact that it should be programmed better. This doesn't mean the whole game will change, if anything it shouldn't change at all. It will merely be an improvement to the behind the scenes action, and from this a better show can be provided and further developed. Once the game is reprogrammed, this is where we can start having fun. There are plans in the works for a larger Space Station, Factions, Addition of NPCs and Animals, More Ships and Ship Upgrades, and all sorts of crazy stuff. But also small things, like improving UI design and making a better Inventory system.
And very importantly, how long from now will this take?
This is the more difficult part. While I can not pin point an exact date, I will say it will most likely take up to a month or two. This is mostly, as mentioned, from RareFront development and school work / stress building up in the background and taking up most of my time. My hope is to work a good chunk of the programming a week at a time, and possibly take a break or two along the way. As for the updates after this, I have no plans for time dedication on that, so that information will be released when I know the answer to it.
So with all this, I have not much more to say. If you have a question please leave a reply or message me, due to guilt of this inactivity I would love to answer as many as I can, hopefully all. But due expect great things from this game, I promise deeply I still love this game and and more is to happen!
As of now, Stay Tuned!
