Release Announcement

Today I’m thrilled to launch the Motivate Beta 1.0! You can download it right now on itch.io or grab the Windows ZIP from GitHub. This initial Beta is completely free-no price required-and serves as my playground to learn and master GameMaker Studio.

Setting Expectations

Motivate is a humble sandbox project, not a flagship release. It’s my first real dive into GameMaker, so don’t expect a fully polished experience just yet. As a Beta, it’s meant to showcase core mechanics, basic combat, and level flow. I plan to expand content in future updates-and some of that work will happen live on stream!

Personal Note & Apology

I apologize for the delay in this release. Life has been unexpectedly challenging these past weeks, including multiple medical emergencies involving my brother, which really tested my motivation. Thank you for your patience and support.

Looking Ahead

This project has been invaluable in teaching me the full pipeline from concept to playable build. I’m eager to begin my next-and first serious-title, When the Sky Took You. Stay tuned for devlogs, livestreams, and more demos coming soon!
