The thing with Tamers Network Project right now.

 Well, hey guys. Well... I can at least bring some news:

The battle system is now working 99% as intended, and I were working on reimplementing the spells.

Now you may be wondering, then why did you named this post "The thing with Tamers Network right now."? I'll tell you:

Tamers Network project, all their version, except the first one, are all built on XNA Game Studio, and programmed in C#.

As you may know if you google, XNA is a really deprecated engine, and getting it to work on Windows 10, was a pain in the behind.

The major issue right now, is that the site where I got it, was shutdown by Microsoft, because the service site that hosted the project was put down. I think I stored the installer on my cloud save, so that isn't a issue, but you can already see how annoying this is.

I'm not really sure if it's viable for me to continue trying to work on this project. I've been learning to use Unity Engine, even managed to make some thing, but I don't know how I could make this project work.

So, that's the air of uncertain. I also haven't been feeling latelly like working on the project. Yesterday, I was struggling to add the Thunder skill to the game, and it is still misalligned. So much more I need to work on too.

I don't know now if the game will ever see the light out of the tunnel, other than the work in progress version. I dunno even if could give continuity to it after I release the game, since that's kinda part of the intention.

Sorry for being way too vague on this, but I really don't know if this project is even worth working on anymore. I literally daydreamed with the game finished, but didn't managed to even get close to finishing it, because I did the mistake of refactoring the entire game several times, due to some changes I wanted to do, or trying to fix something I didn't knew how to fix because of my lack of experience.

Still, nothing changes the fact that I don't have any proper game I have made.

I can't give something conclusive now about it, I still have to give some thoughts about this. I just wanted to let you guys know.
