Project Abyss
A Studio Update
It has been many years since the release of Project Abyss, and whilst the game did not get very good exposure on Steam, and was permanently scarred in the reviews with outdated criticisms, I am really happy with how the game turned out.
This update is about what I am up to now. After a few years as a games tester, I now work as a programmer for a large studio, so PC games are very difficult to make due to the scale of development in my free time. As a result, my focus has been on mobile games, with two released in the last year or so, and more on the way.
If you like playing games on your phone, hopefully, I've made something that you'd like to try. It's been a long and wide journey full of learning, thank you for being a part of it.
Again like Steam, exposure on Google Play has been super low. If you don't have a big established publisher and/or lots of money to throw at advertising, you don't really have a chance to make a game that can be recognised. Thankfully I do it to learn, to create something I love to play myself, and things I hope have great ideas that advance the genres they touch.

To making more games...
Controls!
I want to address in a more visible way, the mixed opinions regarding the game's controls.
In various reviews, many players have found the controls difficult to use, which is fair enough! There is an easier control scheme that can be selected in the options menu.
Whilst I recommend the physics based controls rather than simple WASD ones to get a some-what simulation experience, it is understandable for players to want less frustration.
Hope this helps!

We need your reviews!
The game took 7 months and except music and artwork was designed and programmed by just myself, and I am incredibly happy with the result. But sadly, people are more likely to review if there are issues, and now all the bugs are removed it's gone stale!
Thank you to anyone who leaves a review.
