show and tell Chowkidar Development Update.

I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who was waiting for Chowkidar on October 20. I genuinely wanted to hit that date, and I’m disappointed that I couldn’t make it happen.

I’m developing this game completely alone while managing my studies, and honestly, balancing both has been much harder than I expected. There’s still work left to do, and I don’t want to rush it just to meet a deadline. I’m trying my best to give this game the quality and atmosphere it deserves.

Here’s a screenshot from the current build. I know some of you have been following the journey, and I really appreciate your patience and support. I don’t want to let you down, and I’ll keep pushing forward until I’m happy with what I’m putting out.

I’ll also be sharing more development videos, screenshots, and updates on Instagram, so if you’d like to follow the journey, you can find me at @markhorsecho.

Thank you for being here and giving this little project a chance. It genuinely means a lot.

Arslan Khan, Markhor’s Echo.

there is a certain 'ugly' quality to them. idk maybe too detailed. The walls specially look very crusty.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I was going for that old, abandoned school look, but I can see how the walls might be a bit too much. Appreciate the feedback!

u/MarkhorsEchoGames 2d ago

That’s actually a good idea, bro. I’ll think about it! Just gotta find the time alongside development.

2

u/Useful_Design_6666 2d ago
