Just wanted to say thanks everyone for your thoughts on our earlier poll.  Your comments and votes are totally appreciated. :)

FLSM : Glimmer Deck

"FLSM : Glimmer Deck" is not dead! I think perhaps my wording wasn't quite clear there. I'm still working on FLSM. In fact I've got it open right now in Unity. The only thing that is changed is that we sadly never reached the goal we needed to fully start in on the FLSM RPG mode*. I know that's disappointing to some of you, but we can't keep waiting around, hoping to meet that goal, and trying to develop the game accordingly with it in mind. An RPG mode is totally different from what FLSM has become over time, and with each change and update to the game, it became more and more difficult to align it with the goals of an RPG mode. With that said, we put a ton of work into trying to get an RPG mode going, and we don't plan on putting that work to waste.

Forward Momentum

Your voices have been heard. The idea of a retro-style 2D RPG was something we thought maybe people might want, but that's not the case, so think nothing more of it.

We're moving forward with 3D ideas, improving on and adding to the work we'd done trying to get the RPG mode into FLSM.  But, FLSM won't be an RPG. We're going to be changing the page to reflect the new direction once we have things in place.

It's really, really hard to let something go that you've been hoping for and working towards, and harder perhaps to admit defeat when it needs admitting. I'm waving the flag here. I've begun to feel that FLSM is more of an anchor around my neck than it is a set of creative wings. I promise you all, if you like what we did with FLSM, you will like what we do moving forward. The lessons we've learned have been difficult ones, but lessons they are. And those will go a long way towards the next stage. I do hope you'll stick around with us as we march bravely forward.

If we don't have something new ready for you all by the end of the month, I am going to once again pause payment processing until we do, so please know that you're not going to be sitting around paying while waiting on us.

Thank you all again for your support. It means the world to us.

* The goal for 410 patrons previously read: "When we hit this goal we'll be able to start introducing RPG-like elements, new environments, animations, characters, and more." Since we never reached that goal, we've edited it as of this post. It no longer has to do with the RPG mode but instead is more indicative of our current direction.
