2D will be continued! (+ new plans overview)
Hello, developer here, I'm back and I've come here to share great news with you, Leaden Sky 2D is NOT DEAD! The project is currently on hold while I'm developing a smaller side project - LS: Nightmares which is a prologue to the main storyline.
With that said, I still made some fixes and improvements to the 2D project and I will be releasing an update for it soon! Leaden Sky 2D will be developed at full speed once again this year as soon as I'm done with my side project so stay tuned!
Aside from that I've made official Leaden Sky development plan to make it clear what you can expect in the future from this project. I think that I've selected a quite reasonable time frame for each one:
As you can see there are 3 projects:
1. Leaden Sky: Nightmares - prequel to the story of Leaden Sky (FPS game)
2. Leaden Sky (2022 original) - original 2D project
3. Leaden Sky Remake/Sequel - either sequel or 3D FPS remake (more likely a remake) of the original 2022 project, this will be the highest quality project I will be working on so for now I will be taking time to get more experience and skill before starting to work on it, but I can assure you it will be absolutely sick. I will be working on this one once previous 2 projects are done.
During the development of 3D games I've been able to learn many things about FPS game development and thanks to this I will be able to make proper 3D remake of the 2022 2D original in future, on par or even exceeding its established quality. Thank you all for supporting my work, this means a lot to me, I can promise you to do my best with projects mentioned above, cheers!

Hi Helghast. Problably you have being asked this a lot, I didn't find any FAQ: You're planning something with the gore system used in old versions of leaden sky?
btw i like your work, what made me interested back then was the impressive violence for a 2d game, you don't need to answer if is something personal or you don't want to.
thanks for being pacient and reading.
Hello there, FAQ can be found on Discord server.
Regarding your question, the old gore system will no longer ever be used in Leaden Sky game, because here I would like to focus on a solid and well refined single player experience and the old system was too unstable, bloated and it negatively impacted the performance, gameplay and development time, it made previous projects too hard to bugtest, balance and add anything new to already a huge pile of code, the list of issues it created just goes on.
If you are interested in the gore system alone I suggest you to check out this project called Final Response, it's being entirely made around old gore system, it's cheap (only 5$) and still being updated, it's not a well polished single player experience like Leaden Sky but it is a decent sandbox:

Wow, this is really cool, I'm looking forward to the final release of each of your projects, good luck to you Helghast_95
Thanks a lot!
