Yeah. Got my damn hopes up for a second there.
Get it? Aww, man, just trying to find a silver lining. I'll see myself out.

Hi people, i apologize for not giving signs of life till now, it was mostly because I was ashamed for not beige able to deliver with the game.
Aaaand at this point I have to admit (to you all, and to myself) that I'm currently unable to work on a new release of the game. I still want to do it, and I still put tome words to paper now and then, but I have a new IRL job and I simply have not the time that I had before, and frankly, I haven't had it for a while now.
I'm sorry to disappoint and I hope to return to it someday, but at this moment in time it would be a lie to say "I'm still working on it".
Again, my deepest apologies.

Don't afraid to be open about such things, it's your pet project so don't need to be stressed about it. Step by step when you have mood and time better than just put in far corner and don't touch it at all.
Quite possibly the most relatable sentence I've read on this website.

Please, don't feel too bad about that sort of thing. You said yourself early in the thread that you were learning as you went for this project, so I don't think anyone who saw that was expecting continuous smooth progress. Feel free to voice those struggles as necessary here because it tells us you at least didn't just give up and drop it. Knowing you're struggling to keep up with it due to life circumstances is at least better than wondering if you silently dropped it and left us in the dark, y'know? Transparency is endearing and builds community trust because you're honest about what's going on with progress, even if there isn't any for a time. Besides, I'm sure a lot of us still look forward to when you can get to it again because what you have put together has potential. You can let go of the shame about not being able to deliver, because you have good reasons for putting it on hold. Nothing wrong with that.
I won't lie, it's disappointing to hear those words as the first from you in months, but it is what it is, and a definitive "not right now" is way better to have than no news at all!
If life is happening (even if it's just the stupid part where you make money to live), what are you gonna do?
I love what you've crafted so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed you manage to come back to it someday.

Here's something to live by, "Real life comes first." You're not quitting working on the game, you're not milking your current fans to keep the current project going, you're giving us updates on what's happening and most horny degenerates are decent people if you're honest about what's going on. Better to wait for something that could be picked up later than hear about a project being either immediately abandoned, not hearing anything from a creator for months just to see something abandoned, or find out about a sudden change of everything just for everyone to get mad at the creator and then the project gets abandoned anyway (looking at you Saria).Stop being kind and supportive, you're making it worse!
No need to be ashamed! What you gave us you gave us for free, and it was greatly enjoyed and appreciated. You don't owe me a thing, and I hope you have a damn good life with your new job! And if you ever do resume work, you'll be a more experienced person, and able to make an even better story!
