DEVLOGS ON THIS PROJECT

How and why it was made

I started developing this project when I had about 2 weeks of experience in game development. This is the game that started my dev journey. I got my idea from a Youtube video that attempted to recreate the original Slenderman. The day I wanted to learn how to create a big project, without any idea of what to attempt to do, I remembered that video, and I knew I should try doing that too. So I started, learning from scratch every single feature I wanted to add. I gave myself one year to attempt to fully finish the game, from mechanics and story to even publishing it. Will I succeed into making it good?
