| TACHYONEST FULL RELEASE COMING SOON | 2026-06-07 | Heya! been a while.Maybe... Too long of a while.Definitely a bit too long of a while. Anyhow, I've completely lost the project file by not having any backups and accidently formatting my hard drive that had the game on it. Oh well! At least that means I can make the game... again... for the third time.However, third time might just be the charm. Check this out! I'm hoping to make this feel a lot more physics based & free. Keep in mind, this video is after about four days of work. Excited for you guys to see what's coming!In the meanwhile, check out my other games!Also, join my server!https://discord.gg/XEr3eVHbkN |
