Check out a story about thought processes going awry after ecstasy born from early successes and personal issues hitting.

Still, I decided to release the result of my work so far as a prototype for Fuck Capitalism Jam 2024, to be worked on in the future until it is done. Alongside part 1, which was basically developed within the time frame anyway, and is more than fitting for the theme as well.

I can only imagine how I would have acted if I had gotten into game dev, like, 15 years ago or so, and MMOs still seemed amazing to me instead of kind of annoying, stressful and disillusioning.
