Talking About Projects - Jan17-2022 - SweptThrone - 01-17-2022

Today, I'm deleting the unused SPIHGUOY Zone and replacing it with the soon-to-be-used Codename Pineapple Zone, and also talking about the SPIHGUOY Zone.

The SPIHGUOY, or Secret Project I Haven't Given Up On Yet, was originally going to be some sort of standalone medieval-themed RPG. It was going to be loosely based upon a medieval town I made on my Minecraft server, Flocksworth. At some point, I intended to name the game Tale of Flocksworth. I have a folder of very vague notes related to this project, including weapons, skills, some very basic sprites, and brain-dumps. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this project never went anywhere; in fact, it never even got started! I didn't even know what platform I should use to make this game, so as time went on, the possibility of this project becoming a reality dwindled.

Knockback was a similar genre of project, another standalone game. This one was supposed to be an arena PvP fighting game where there was no actual damage inflicted, instead players had to rely on the knockback weapons dealt to push each other off the arena. This one actually had a movement test created, but also went nowhere. This project had two channels on my Discord server for a very limited time.

Anyway, the SPIHGUOY Zone existed as an incentive to push me to do something. If I had a place dedicated to sharing updates about this project, maybe it would push me to fill it with posts. That didn't work though, and the whole zone remained completely empty for *reads through forum logs* almost exactly two years. Two years and ten days, to be exact. So today, I'm finally deciding to just get rid of it and replace it with a zone for Codename Pineapple, the project I've been actively working on for (I think) around a full year now.

While this forum zone exists, I don't really intend to fill it with posts. The first public reveal of any part of this project will take place on my YouTube channel once it's ready, which may be a long time from now. I've been working on this one much more actively and consistently, and I'm very excited to get it done and show it to you all. You can keep track of my progress on this project on my Trello board which I try to update in real time throughout the week. Alternatively you can join my Discord server to see these updates weekly, but there's a reason you're here and not there, right?

That's all I got for today, if you're here reading this, thanks!
