I have a lot of criticisms for myself and a lot of things I want to improve on, but before I get into that I figure it’s a good idea to discuss what I feel I did well in making MVOL, both to give a more well-rounded view and so you guys don’t think I’m being too hard on myself later on. I’m certainly proud of what I’ve accomplished so far, even if there are many, many ways that I might wish I had done better. Inversely, please don’t take this post as me bragging about my accomplishments, and certainly if you think I haven’t done so well as I describe, you should let me know, as well as if there is anything you admire about MVOL that I don’t cover here. I’m also trying to get a strong idea of what made up MVOL’s “appeal,” so I don’t lose sight of that too much in my future works.
My Very Own Lith is finally nearing completion! While it still needs a good deal of content and several more endings added before it’s ready to move into beta, and I expect to still have a lot of work to do on the game after that before it’s a finished project I can be happy with, I do think now is a good time to start talking about the future beyond MVOL. This project has been a huge part of my life for a long time now, so it’s a little strange and intimidating to even think about what will happen when development is over, but it’s also pretty exciting.
Hello, folks! In case you didn’t see the post over on my Patreon, I thought I should update those interested on the situation. Usually I try to maintain a pretty regular cycle with MVOL’s development, in which I release the new public version of the game on the first weekend of the release month (would’ve been next weekend), the advance version a week before that, and the pre-release Monthly Mini-Update a week before that.
