Progress update!

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]Work on Nothing Beyond This Point has been ongoing for a while now, but I haven't made any posts in a while! That seems wrong. I should make a post in the form of a progress update! And here we are.[/p]

An Area Aoverview

[p]There's 16 areas planned for NBTP, and of those, 13 are completely done right now! The 14th one is in progress, but it's gonna take a bit longer than most, considering its gimmick is quite... special. Honestly, it's worth playing the game for the 14th area alone.[/p][p]Things that you can look out for now also include, but are absolutely not limited to:[/p]

[p]A big fancy puzzle![/p]
[p]Obelisk 2.0, now with less corruption![/p]
[p]Burnable flags![/p]
[p]Killer bosses![/p]
[p]Eyes.[/p]

[p]Eyes?[/p][p]What's with the eyes, anyway? ...It's probably fine.[/p][p]I'm constantly going back through areas and improving things. More item animations, additional decoration, improved layouts, and so on. The bigger a game is, the longer it takes to make. But worry not, the enemies, bosses, and their musical tracks are of the highest quality. According to me.[/p][p]The soundtrack will be uploaded to Youtube and get its own 1$ purchase! It'll likely be about 1.5 hours long and I'm sure you'll like most of it.[/p]

Marketing Efforts

[p]Speaking about Youtube! Making a game is hard. Making a good game is extremely hard. Marketing a game? Impossible. I'll be a bit transparent about what I'm doing.[/p][p]I'm on a continuous process to scout out Twitch streamers, Youtubers, and other content creators that may like to play Nothing Beyond This Point. I currently have over 100 emails and several Discords to spread the message, but if you know anyone in particular, let me know.[/p][p]I'll also be distributing the game via Steam's Curator Connect system - but only once it's content-complete![/p][p]Wait, these statues are still alive? Uh oh.[/p]

Are You Still On Track?

[p]Yes, I am still on track. Early 2026 release will most likely happen. Depending on how soon I'll be done with the base content, I may add some bonus things as well! Things that are on the table include:[/p]

[p]Boss rush[/p]
[p]The Bestiary[/p]
[p]4 extra bosses, with rewards[/p]
[p]Secret rooms[/p]
[p]Another ending (there's 3 planned so this'll be the 4th)[/p]
[p]Who knows![/p]

[p]If you buy the game at launch, it'll be complete, but I'll always keep fixing things and will likely add post-launch features too. So don't hesitate! Wishlist Nothing Beyond This Point and have a jolly good time venturing through the endless Void.[/p][p]But seriously, though, what is it with these eyes?[/p][p]I feel like I'm not alone anymore.[/p]
