Originally, I developed this game solely for my portfolio to get a job.
However, since I haven't landed a job yet, I have decided to release it.
It is a PvE multiplayer boss-raid game. Since I started the programming later than most people.
I wanted to showcase my skills by choosing a challenging genre.
So, I chose the MMORPG genre because I believe it combines all the essential technologies for game development.
However, since making a full MMORPG alone takes too much time,
I decided to focus on the boss-raid element.
While developing the game, I applied to over 100 companies, but I kept getting rejected.
Now, it's a bittersweet situation because I'm now releasing a game that was never originally planned for launch.
I plan to release this game and then one more planned project.
If I still can't find a job by then, I will move on from the game industry.
I will just consider it a great life experience.
