Hello, thanks for y'alls interest!
@ohmygiggles: Thank you for your kind words, I had a lot of fun making the trailer. I've been slowly working at a new trailer and also a new video opening (among other things as well)--slowly but surely. My career has picked up a lot and I've been doing a lot of 10-12 hour days six days a week, so I tend to work a couple hours at the most every evening. Once covid slows, I hope to jump back into development in full-swing.
@TheGentlemanLoser: Thank you for your interest and your words, it means a lot to me to read what you wrote. To answer your question--the song is by End of Silence, they allowed me to use the song for the teaser so long as I didn't make any money off of its use. I have been composing my own music lately, but as I said above... sadly my time is very limited these days, but I use what little time I have to keep moving forward.
For a rough estimate--I have a version that I've been working at and I hope to release something publicly before the end of spring. I had a closed test some months ago and I've been slowly changing things, adding things, and removing things.
and yes! my girl is wonderful. She's more keen on things like forum posting--even though now she took my training wheels and has me doing it on my own now. I also understand what ya mean by joining a new community, sadly I don't come here often as much as I did. I spend more time offline and in solitude nowadays.
Also, I never did explain how the title came about. I have shared the story to my discord community, and it's a silly story really, but it's been with me a very long time.
When I was in college, my old girlfriend and I wanted some time together, she worked at the library during the day, and I worked nights at fedex--so we didn't really have much time together til the weekend.
Well one day we went into one of the art classrooms to spend some time away from our friends. There were a lot of little magnets on one of the white boards that had words written on them. We figured--the school wont mind a few missing, so we took some and put them on my fridge in my apartment. Random words mostly... but one day we started to rearrange them and what we wrote out with some of the words was in fact "Run The Last True Symphony" This was back in 2006 (or 7?) so it's for sure been the five little words I've held onto for a very long time, it fit perfectly when I was searching for what I would call my game.
I actually have a lot of trivia and fun facts surrounding my game. Maybe one day I can share them on here.
I'll make time soon to update the thread with new info, art and other things I've been working on. Thank you everyone who came to visit the thread, and I hope you visit again. Take care and have a good and safe evening.
