Good afternoon people of Newgounds. Well, Stencyl Jam 2015 is almost over and it's about time you learned the truth: Stencyl is not easy to use. yes it is very simple when compared to the actual writing of code but just because something is easy by comparison does not mean that it is easy. It took me more than a year to find out how to do the most basic of things with Stencyl, and because of this I decided I would try to make a simple game for Stencyl Jam, but even that was proving difficult. The game was, and still is, progressing slowly for a number of reasons including several hardware problems with the one computer we have that can test our Stencyl games and all of us getting sick thus putting my project into development hell and Stencyl 3.3 "Fixing" the sh*t out of everything that worked and me having to start the game all over, which is one thing when you're playing a game and a whole 'nother thing when you're building one from scratch!

At the rate things are going I will unfortunately, most likely, release the game some time in late may, well after the Stencyl Jam deadline. But I'd rather delay a good project than release a rushed one.

Thanks to GameKrazzyProduction, PineappleHeadFilms, BlueDragonMusic, Masl123 for all of the music, and Hectate from Reddit for all his help, I will not let you down! This game is happening, weather it's released in time for Stencyl Jam or not.

If you like Harvest Moon or other games like that, you're bound to like this game. Wish me luck. And thank you all for your support.

[Update] Too late, it looks like I’ve failed to meet the deadline. The one computer we had that I could build and test my Stencyl games on has died. This project has been put on indefinite hiatus until we can somehow get a new computer.
