No worries, I appreciate the response! I give you my consent to post translated versions of DD1 and DD2. If you would like to translate my other maps, just let me know beforehand 👍

I feel deeply sorry for translating parts of your work without your permission. I have noticed your message to me, and I will ensure to seek permission from other authors as well. I have enjoyed playing many of your maps, but they were not available in my native language, so I translated some of the content without your consent. If you feel that I have infringed on your copyright, I will promptly delete the translated map. With your permission, I will clearly indicate that you are the original author. Once again, I offer my sincerest apologies for my actions.

That's thoughtful of you to offer! I do not accept donations, rather feedback like yours is what motivates me to make these maps :)

The best way to support me is by following, liking, and commenting on my steam workshop maps, YouTube channel, and Twitter (links in my steam profile)!

Thank you for the detailed update! It's incredible that you are keeping up with other projects as well. I am sure it will be worth the wait, and I am very much looking forward to playing all of your new rooms later this year.

Is there a way for us to support you? Do you accept any donations? You seem incredibly underrated for the quality of work you produce, and I hope we can keep you motivated!

I have also been working on a private escape sim map due for May and the next Collab map(s) for July-August. I know these are the perfect conditions for DD3 to become vaporware, but it's a project that's dear to me and I've never stopped wanting to release it. I'm also working on a teaser trailer, but only going to post it very close to launch. I'm hesitant to announce a Fall 2024 release date in case more projects come up, but that's my plan 🤞

Thanks for playing! So, for the past 2 years, other projects have cropped up that have pushed back DD3 including working with Pine, but I've never stopped working on DD3 on the side.

The puzzle designs + story have been done for a long time now. The challenge has been that the new mechanics I want to implement and ways the rooms are laid out, morph, recurse, and interact with one another are not technically possible with the in-game assets. So I've invested time in learning Blender, creating all of the 3D models from scratch, and writing a lot of the room's logic in Lua. I'm also including two endings, VR support, a playtime of at least 1.5-2x that of DD2's, and 3 discrete zones with their own puzzle archetype...it's a lot.
