Announcement #20

Ok, hey everyone. I thought about everything for a little while and talked to my friends/Playtesters and everyone and we came to the conclusion that we weren’t happy with the current state of our game creation. I changed alot about what I liked about Diego for the Forum even though nobody asked for it as well as creating so many games that’ll only end up on an indefinite hold. Anyways things will be changing with how I make games. I’m taking a short break to work on this and I’ll see yall later. Bye

small update

The new update is amazing but some odd stuff has happened with DTSI. Some graphics from the early demo have been offset for some reason I haven’t figured out yet. Anyways I’m releasing a new version of the second demo that’s been update to fix these new issues and also add a few small missing things. bye!

Note

This version is only a improved version of the January 2024 Demo. This isn’t entirely a representation of what the final version will be. In fact there’s still a few glitches left in this version that are fixed in the current dated one.

BREAKING UPDATE!!!


The game has changed! And i’m not just talking about the Diego Illusions game… Something I’ve failed to take into account until recently is that I made the last demo the last demo under the assumption that the game would be out in a few months but since it’s still going a NEW demo will be releasing this summer with new content and bug fixes than not even the recently updated summer 2024 demo has. This game is finally gonna be fully available to the public again. THIS SUMMER

Expect more news and updates soon!

Also on another note, thanks for 20 likes on the topic :exploding_head:

(Note: later game content will be removed from the game for the final release AND some content maybe be limited, also for the final release)

If you want to see past versions and the dev-log for the game check it out here. However, remember this game is no longer being worked on and I’m just showing the build of the game i made after it got canceled. I may work on it in the future but don’t go to this topic expecting any updates in the future:

Final Announcement

The Diego The Spheroid: Illusions game has been in development for about 3 years and has been in a state of development hell ever since. It’s a directionless mess that was drawn out for far too long, so now I’m being merciful to myself and the game and killing it. Diego the Spheroid Illusions will not be releasing for MakeCode Arcade anytime in the future and will not house any public builds. I could change my mind later, but don’t ask about it at the moment. Now, why is this game really being canceled? Let’s jump in:

Contents of the game

As the creator of the game and a rookie developer, I’m still making massive choices in the way I create, develop, and publish my games. No matter what you may say about the dedication or quality of the product, each one is made with a certain amount of ambition that pushes forward my game development skills. Diego the Spheroid Illusions never was and will never be that. In the years of working on this game, I’ve improved so vastly that Diego the Spheroid Illusions has become an incompetent game, which would require months of redesigning, time better spent elsewhere.

Diego Illusions is a mistake and a learning point

No matter how frustrated you may be for being dragged along for months that this game would finally release, it’s clear as the creator that this game’s publication was a mistake. It was revealed far too early with no true direction and was restarted multiple times after it was first revealed, after realizing I had stolen artistic ideas from a game Luke had made long ago. This game is a mistake, and really that’s what I’m sorry for, because there’s no other reason why this game should have been canceled other than poor decisions in the lead-up to the reveal.

This is not Diego

The Diego character has existed years before this platform and in parallel to the forums on separate platforms that will obviously not be disclosed for obvious reasons. To be blunt and honest, I do not like this version of Diego. Diego lore is important to me, as Diego is a comic first, then a game (at least I see it as that now), and my lazy choices in game development and overall story decisions not only don’t live up to my standards but are also boring and dry with little character. It disgusts me every time I see a Diego Illusions-era graphic, and for the record, it’s not just a problem project, as I still think games like Diego Fate are good and worth revisiting. Not this one, though.

I’m taking a MakeCode forum break for the literal rest of the year because, for multiple reasons at this point, I need to leave. Have a great November and Halloween. Sorry for dragging you along with this game’s development for years on end and wasting your time. It just seems to be that way sometimes, and to all, I wish you a great life or whatever. Later :victory_hand:

Oh, and @moderators, can you, like, close this, although I guess I’ll probably eventually delete it anyway. Thanks.
