"Finally".

"Finally":  
That's all I'd like to say, and that's how I went like after I was done packing Babe Runner Demo.

I wanted to summarize what working on Babe Runner felt like with "A dream often comes true at the price of many sleepless nights":
something I've "signed" Babe Runner with, you'll find it as soon as you click on "start".  
That's because a "I've worked a lot, I've cried a lot and I've slept such few hours" wouldn't have sounded equally good, I guess.    
Also, it wouldn't have took into consideration all the people who supported and helped me throughout this painful and -at the same time- sweet journey. But I won't fail doing that, so first of all...

This Demo serves as a tutorial of some of the full game’s concepts, featuring:

• Menu-based story/interactions
• RPG elements 
• Firing Range Minigame 
• Turn based battle engine (animated)
• Full of atmosphere BGs; (animated)
• Hot Hentai Action! ^^ (animated)
• Challenging Achievements to unlock!

... and More!    

Then please pay a visit to the amazing teambuddies I had the pleasure to work on Babe Runner with:

Xelapy  - Main Coding
DarkTl  - Additional Coding

These guys did an amazing job with code and all of the amazing features in BR, not to mention they'll be at the core of ANY of my future gaming-related projects, so if you can, please support them too.

So where we was at? Ah yes.

I don't know if you're gonna like it or not, I personally hope you would, but it won't be the end of the world if you don't.
Some will hate it, some will love it, some others will go "meh": it's the "game behind game making", I guess.
But no matter how the world will react to my "baby", I will never forget what working on it was like.
Like no days off, no weekends, no summer holidays, daytime and nightime turning into something theoretic (when not "merged" together as a whole).
Packing it left me with a bitter-sweet taste.
"Finally", I kept on repeating....And I felt relieved.

But at the same time it felt like "goodbye"...And suddenly, I felt sad.
I said it's like my baby, so it felt like dressing up your kid on his first day of school: a lot of expectations and the wish that life would treat him well.

Only, there will be no way back from school.
 
(Dedicated to my Game)

No more working on you on a daily basis while sipping my morning coffee.
No more days figuring out how to make you look better and better.
No more nights dreaming of you happening.

So it's a proper goodbye, my dear little game.
I've loved you to the moon and back and that's exactly where I'm sending you. :)

Please forgive me if I went too light on some of your features:
you might not be perfect, but neither do I.

I gave you my everything and I've made a lot of sacrifices for you in the process.
And I know a lot of people do too, so that won't make me feel any special.

But you're special to me, and I can see a lot of potential into you...Which is exactly what I wish people would notice too.

Good Luck, my dear little game. ^^

So thanks to anyone who made this happen:

Xela:   
The Phyton Genius who took a once limping and glitchy Babe Runner, injected it with some first class code and made it flying: working with you has been truly an honor and a bliss, nonetheless.
Thanks for the patience you had in dealing with a fuzzy, demanding, rude, despotic and hard working guy who tore himself and everyone around him for this project.
And Thanks for joining me: we're a "team" now, right?  ;)

DarkTl:   
I only knew him mostly for being that Xela's buddy working on Pytfall with him.
He joined the project when Xela had enough of dealing with my despotic manners and wanted to share the burden with someone else.
He did a great job. Not in dealing with my rage outbursts on behalf of Xela  (as that would be impossible for anyone, lol) but in fixing issues we forgot to fix in no time.
He has improved many more things than you'll ever know, and most of his hard work would prolly go unnoticed. But trust me when I say, Babe Runner would've been a much worse gaming experience without him on board.
And by the way, he's part of our team too, now.^^

Able Kirby:  
once a writer for Babe Runner, had to leave us in the middle of "development hell": Babe Runner was never going to be as close to turning into vaporware as it was back then.
It was a great loss for the project but I'll never forget the dedication nor the passion you've been putting into it from day one: Thanks, buddy.

 EdKempeper:  
For composing many original soundtracks specifically tailored for Babe Runner and for being able to turn my annoying "change this" and "extend that" into some leet sheet music that made a musical sense.  

YOU:  
The ones who kept on "blindly" supporting a newcomer like me: I could've been anyone: maybe a leecher, maybe a scammer.
But you've been trusting me from day one and you deserve all of my gratitude and respect for this reason alone.  
Thanks to the ones who often went like "I wish I could pledge more", to whom I've always replied "it doesn't matter"...And I was for real.
What really mattered to me during the last year wasn't "how much" you were pledging, but the fact you were pledging to me at all.
That's the only thing that will always matter the most to me because it felt like an act of "good faith", which is all that a newcomer needs to keep going on: feeling supported, feeling he's not the only one who wakes up caring about his projects.
So yeah, your "little" amount was worth "a million" to me...And always will:
feel free to be proud of it.
 
The ones who pledged for a short while then left because "pledging to me wasn't worth in comparison to the updating frequency" :
well, the "updating frequency" hasn't changed, but you've been motivating me to push harder and give my everything to those who stayed:
so thank you too.  

GOD:  
Any god.
I'm not an hardcore believer myself, but if there ever was any "supreme entity" ruling this world, then this is for him.
For all the tears he made me shed: I grew up stronger as they dried up.
For the bad times he sent my way, and for the willpower and strength he gave me to turn them into good times.
For all the times I've been feeling lost, helpless and hopeless while struggling against something that felt bigger than me.
For all the times I've managed to overcome those bad feelings and managed to stay positive while everything around me was going south.
For he made me feel blessed for all of the above mentioned reasons, and most of all...  
...For that dream came true.

"Finally".  

Thanks, everyone. ^^
