i loved the original game but the Dev fell behind on updates then came excuses then silence then nothing if another dev pick's up the game or comes out with there own version of it ill play just has to be good and updates consistent remakes can be good and offer a new experience others fail after the first release don't mean to be pessimistic but ive walked this road before best thing to do is wait and see
It's completely fine to have doubts dude, I know like 50% of this site is full of abandoned games with 25% of that being remakes, big brother comes to mind.
As for releases, I plan to do a one and done release with any updates after being for bugs fixes. So when it's released it will be the full game, I want to try and avoid getting the mind set of small updates with some content in it.
I think this is alright as long as you keep up with steady progress updates and keep your expected progress realistic. Start small and expand your promises as you know you can make them. Too many devs fall into the hole of overpromising on games and panic if they feel they can't deliver and then we run into situations like Bones' is in right now and run into burnout.
It's okay to think fan suggestions might be cool but temper expectations and make sure you don't promise anything unless you're absolutely committed to it. It's also okay to shoot people down for dumb ideas that you don't want in your game you don't need to appease everyone. Lastly be transparent, keep us updated and engaged, long periods of no communication cause people to speculate on abandonment.
I'm sure most of this isn't a surprise or is already known but people get ravenous for games and their expectations need to be kept in check as do the extent of your own abilities. Good games don't just poof into existence. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I'm moving on to improving my art, once it has improved a lot, I will be keeping my promise of doing a dev stream where I will be doing the character designs

I asked that because at the time when I pulled the thread up it asked to translate the page from French. I figured out who I was in the end.No question is stupid.
I speak french, what's up?
I have everything written down, improving art then will be making the character designs which will lead to world creation right after
Just take your time as much as you need and more importantly please don't rush. I rather wait than having an abandoned project like Bone's Tales: The Manor.
Im using any free time I am able to get, unlike bones I still have a day job so at most I have 2 days to work on the game. All I can say for certain is this version will hopefully release 1-2 weeks after the first game is complete, looking at a year or two for the game to be completed. After that gonna take a week or 2 break before starting work on the 3rd game
donc si j'ai bien compris vous allez sortir le jeu peu de temps après votre premier jeu et pendant 1 ou 2 ans vous le mettrez à jour régulièrement jusqu'à ce qu'il soit terminé à 100%, c'est tout ?
All my games will be released upon completion, that way I don't fall into a habit of updating a game then accidentally getting sidetracked by another game.
I want to aim to have the first two games released within 1-2 years, as for both are being developed at the same time

So Doyle aka Jack plot will be big or not?
since I wanted a Doyle prequel game Im very interested in the character and his relatives.

Jack's Story is not gonna be as long as the main game, it will have a decent amount of content for a side story but nothing as major compared to the main story.
