hi everyone,

I’m writing to inform you that I will be going offline and putting the development of Alice's Descent on hold for the next 3 months.

I’ve realized that I need to step away from everything for a while to focus on personal matters and regain my balance. Since there won't be any updates during this period, I have paused all Patreon billing. You will not be charged while I am away.

I truly appreciate your support so far and thank you for understanding my need to take this time off.

not set in stone. the dev is motivated to continue, but they need to focus on their personal stuff right now.
imo I feel the game will continue once the dev is back, but now is just not the time for them to think about it.
We will see. We've seen this reason for an on-hold many times now, and in a lot if not the majority of cases the dev either abandons it or doesn't return until much later. At least they have the decency to pause the Patreon billing, but they need to do that one month at a time.

I'm really hoping for this dev to return in a few months, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

I know their reason, and I can confidently say this one has never been said by any other dev, and the reason is valid. so at least this time it's not BS, and I've heard them all. one month is not enough for this, so there's no point in cutting patreon billing a month at a time.
(I won't get into what's going on, because that's a private matter and not for me to disclose. it should be enough for anyone to know only tha it's a valid reason. there's no drama, it's just nothing anyone else would need to know.)

imo there's definitely a drive to continue the game, but like the dev said, they need to work on their private matters first.
time will tell if they'll still have that drive after the 3 months over, but I believe they will.

I will not say any more about this. don't ask.
but I hope this sets some minds to ease.

That's the issue with Patreon though (at least from what I've read). Even if the dev wants to pause it longer, he needs to manually pause it every month otherwise Patreon will just activate it again. I hope he's in the right state of mind and health to think of this for as long as he needs to recover.

I hope he recovers soon.
