The past few months...

Hey everyone. By now, all of you are clamoring about what has happened to Coven. Well that is the sole reason for this update. I will start with this:
The project is safe, alive, but not CURRENTLY under development.
"But why, Echo?" Well, I have a strange mind. I always change my interests. I simply got bored with Game Maker. This does not mean that I will never work on the project again. That would be insane. It just means that I have shelved it for a while until I can find the motivation to work on it again. This would be the FOURTH time that this has happened to Coven. Is it bad? No. Well, not to me anyway. The project is very much alive, I just have not even so much as moused-over the .GMK since November. I can assure everyone that the project will not die now, and never will.
That aside, I am trying to force my subconscious into wanting to work on the game again. I was experimenting yesterday with particle effects and new ideas for the Save, Reload and Energy stations. I will keep that under wraps for now.
The bottom line is this: Do not lose hope. The project will be back someday. Probably sometime soon. Just keep your eyes peeled and visit the site frequently to keep in touch. I may add things to the site to keep it current, such as some new tutorials, but don't cross your fingers. Just know that I check the site EVERY day (It is one of my homepages), and that you can email me anytime you like to chat, ask questions, or ask for help with Game Maker, coding, anything at all.

Long live the Coven.
