+# Sound support

+
+In September I implemented sound support. However, this was the last
+work for "Tail and Shadow" project, because the project's story writer -
+Eugene - left.
+
+# The search for a new direction
+
+In September I also noticed the loss of interest in the project by the
+audience. I linked this to the fact that the project's functional and
+graphical results did not match that of the audience.
+
+That's why I decided to try a couple of technical ideas to revive the
+project:
+
+## 1. Voxels
+
+I checked if I can create content in [Goxel][goxel] voxel editor
+instead of paper and pen. This is what I got:
+
+<video controls width="700">
+    <source src="../../images/2024_goxel.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
+</video>
+
+## 2. RPG Maker
+
+I've also completed several [RPG Maker][rpg-maker] tutorials to see if I can
+create a game using existing instrument. This is what I got:
+
+<video controls width="700">
+    <source src="../../images/2024_rpg-maker.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
+</video>
+
+This looks a lot like a game, however I have no interest in doing that alone.
+I'm fond of technically challenging issues like creating a game engine,
+not using existing instruments to create a game.
+
+# October
+
+I return to PSKOV static site generator to make it more convenient,
+accessible, and durable.
