What we've been up to

So! It's been over a year since we last posted an announcement, and over two since we last posted a meaningful content update. (not counting the chess ARG)
I'm sure you're wondering, where have we been???

Well, the short answer is that we're still working on the mod!
The long answer is a bit more complicated.

We've been occasionally posting teasers in Fading Memory's discord, but never posted them here, hence why it seems we've been so silent.
The truth is, we've been in a rut for a while now, not really making any progress, but not completely stalled either. Ironically, the mod is in a similar rut back from before its Steam release (~2019-2020).
Only a handful of people were working on the mod back then, and even fewer were actively working on the mod- and we're in a bit of a similar situation now.

Like the pre-steam rut, we've been working on the same area, getting it polished just enough to get it to release, so we can push out the next update and diversify what we're working on. Ironically, it's still the barrens, though a different region. (Crystal Caves vs Barrens Mainland)
Originally, our plan was to complete a chunk that would open up into multiple areas so that we can diversify what we're working on to avoid getting bored and burnt out. While that plan hasn't panned out like we hoped, we're actually pretty close to finishing said chunk, and the team as a whole has been more active!

Oh! I mentioned it earlier, but not so long ago we put out a chess "beta" that was gated behind the community solving an ARG. If you'd like to check it out, checkmatedbytwo is the password for a beta branch!

Anyway! Here's some teasers for ya'll to munch on! Including some we've not shared on discord!
