First things first. The lousy stuff I have to show.
Realistically, if I aim to re-create all game assets, the first episode probably wouldn't be seen until late 2017. The next two years I have to focus my efforts on things other than Colette's Mind.
This is not a hiatus.
Rather than put the project on a two year long pause, I've opted for something I probably should of done in the beginning.
The assets for Decay already exist, ready to be decompiled and used for Colette's Mind. That is the fastest way I can work on releasing Decay by the end of this year. And so that is what is going to happen.
In order to ensure that Colette's Mind is released as soon as possible (with the majority of the time being spent on writing) using the GoldSrc assets is needed.
But I refuse to give up working on this remake, so I wont. Rather, when 2017 does come around and I am free to focus my efforts solely on Colette's Mind, you can bet your first born that's what I'm going to do.
Pretty much, when the GoldSrc version of Colette's Mind is released, I'll resume work on the HD version. It would definitely not take too long to make the HD version when the GoldSrc version is finished (as I have all the finished writing and animations done). The time spent on it would be all on remaking the assets which I'll still do for the next two years, just not as often as I was previously.
If you're confused
- Colette's Minds is still happening
- Colette's Mind is not on hiatus
- Colette's Mind will now be developed using already existing GoldSrc assets (this version will be referred to as GoldSrc Colette's Mind)
- There will be a HD version released after GoldSrc Colette's Mind. (This will be referred as Colette's Mind: Source, even though it doesn't use the source engine this is more of a reference to the graphical updates between GoldSrc and Source)
- Colette's Mind: Source is set to resume production whenever I'm done with goldsrc
- Colette's Mind is still a thing
