hey man you don't owe us anything, if anything, I am sure everybody here wants you to recover, so just focus on thatHey everyone, I've got a sad announcement to make.
I'm planning to put this game on indefinite hiatus, and I can't promise that I will actually come back to it.
There's a really long version of the story, but the short version is that I've started to realize continuing to work on APC is one of the main factors that is making me feel down all the time lately. And whenever I think about putting time or energy toward other things, it makes me feel more motivated and happy.
It really sucks. I wanted really, really badly to be able to finish this project and be able to point to it like and be able to say 'See, I always finish my projects, no matter what.' But I did not know what I was getting myself into when I started this and it grew so far out of control.

I wanted to finish this game in a year, and I've been working on it for more than 3 years already.

And somehow it feels like there's still no end in sight. Especially at the pace I'm going, where I'm just dragging my own corpse toward the finish line. I used to always say that I don't have a lot of time and energy, but I still love working on the game, and I just wish I had time to work on it.
Well, for whatever reason, that finally changed. In all honesty, I don't love working on the game anymore... and if I had time and energy, I would want to dedicate them to other things... It didn't used to be this way, but that's the way things are now. And I realized recently that I can't force myself to continue working on the game the way that I am now.
At best, I will disappear for a while, come back, and finish everything up at some point in the future when I am more full of life and creativity and happiness again. At worst, this might be the end of APC.
Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the next update. For me, this is the only choice I could make.
I want to say that what you did here was amazing, not just because of the sexy, but also because you showed an amount of focus (and vision, skill too) that not too many people possess.
Obviously don't let my compliment get to your head ( I got bananas as a pfp after all ) but what I mean to say is, I'm sure you can do it, whatever you decide to do now: you have focus and willpower, making a game already showed that, you became popular here not only because you made good content, but because you showed focus and an ability to get things done
Now focus on supporting your family and the people you care about: you proved yourself here already (and I really mean it as a compliment, you did amazing in these 3 years, been following you from the start) so now just prove yourself to yourself out there
