Protorogo is an idle roguelite with a focus on ability synergies and strategy for defeating progressively more difficult waves of enemies.

<h1>Project Setback</h1><p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Initial plans for full release have been pushed back for a few months. I'll share what has happened so that players understand, not to excuse release delay. As the sole developer for this game, I stored the files locally on my 5 year old laptop. The IDE (game programmer) that I was using to code the game, GameMaker Studio, out of comfort, being the only program I was familiar with, discontinued support for this IDE following their release of Studio 2. This discontinuation included no longer offering an installer, therefore unable to re-download the IDE. My old laptop began blackscreening intermittently, and often enough to make programming too difficult, as I would lose progress upon restarts. Unfortunately, when I replaced my computer with a cheap new laptop to keep programming, I couldn't use my old IDE and had to either completely learn a new program (daunting and time consuming) or hope I was able to convert the old project into the new studio. Upon trying to convert, the project failed, so I decided to use this opportunity to fix some underlying design flaws of the original code and re-code from the bottom up. I started saving the new program on a cloud, to ensure my files are always accessible regardless of my hardware. Most of my free time to program is on my lunch breaks at work, which I don't have wifi for: so, my local files don't update until I get home and sync. For whatever reason, I started having corruption issues and files would get lost, setting back progress. At one point, the IDE wouldn't even let me open the project to fix missing files, and I had to create new ones and edit them as txt files outside of the IDE to get the project to open. Recently having to fix all of these non-programming issues has demoralized me and I will take a brief break on the project since I don't want to work on a passion project which I have no motivation for. Please understand my situation and know that when I do return to this project it will be with full motivation to bring it back to life.</p></p><br><h1>About the Game</h1><p class="bb_paragraph" >Protorogo is an idle roguelite with a focus on ability synergies and strategy for defeating progressively more difficult enemies.
