I totally get the not wanting to report no progress thing but not seeing any recent comments from you starts to instill the fear that the game might be abandoned. Maybe consider putting the on-hold tag for your game? That will relieve a lot of people of the worry about the game being abandoned while also allowing you to not have to check back in every month.Feel like I don't want to say anything because every time I feel like "oh this thing that I'm trying is helping" it just kinda stops doing that. I'm just not getting much of any work done and it feels difficult to justify only releasing what I do have as an update. Still, I'm alive (with all the mixed feelings I have about that fact).
