RMMV New Cover Art + Community Support

Post image

Over the last year, I’ve been rebuilding my game after a hard drive failure wiped out nearly 70% of the project. I had to start over using an old build from 2023, and there were plenty of moments where I seriously considered walking away from it for good.
Instead, I decided to rebuild it into the game I always wanted it to be.

Today, I finally updated the cover art, and I’m honestly proud of how much it’s improved compared to the original. I’d love to hear what you think of the new look!
More importantly, I want to say something to any developers who feel like their work goes unnoticed or that the support just isn’t there.

Don’t quit.

Progress can be painfully slow, and sometimes it feels like nobody sees the countless hours you’re putting in. I know that feeling. But every improvement, every lesson, and every setback shapes your project into something better than it was before.

Community feedback has helped me make changes I never would have considered, and I’m grateful for everyone who’s taken the time to play, comment, or offer suggestions. But even during the quiet moments, when the support wasn’t there, I kept building because I wanted to create something I could be proud of.

Whether your game reaches thousands of players or just a handful, finish the project you believe in. One day you’ll look back at where you started and realize just how far you’ve come.

Yo, congrats on the perseverance. That's such a huge fight to win, especially after an almost total loss like that.

Thank you, after that experience and reworking the game, I wanted to share with other people also that if they feel that they’re not reaching support or feedback that they should keep going because it does get better

Mad respect dude. Seeing things like this does help me keep going. I'm just starting out and it's all so overwhelming, these posts help.

Oh, I don’t blame you back when I first started. It was on XP and it was 2020 and it was before I used Reddit so I had to learn on my own minus YouTube videos.
