TL;DR: Game is cancelled/on hold. Work has a hold of my life. Forced to move to another sate because of it. Process of moving took over my life for the past 3 or so months. Finally moved and things with work got better but movers broke PC among other things. Currently trying to fix PC but it doesn't seem likely so unless it's somehow salvaged, game is over. Thank you to everyone who played and supported me and my game in any and every way.
Hey, everyone! This is something that I hoped I would never have to tell you guys but it needs to be addressed. To get straight to the point, I'm going to have to cancel development for Sugar County. It honestly, really pains me to have to do this but in my current situation, I just don't have the means to make this game. For a while now, I haven't even been able to work on the weekly pictures for the $10+ patrons, let alone the game itself. This game has had a very slow progression for a while now, reason for that is work has had a hold over my life for some time and I was forced to move to another state because of it which I was in the process of for a few months now. It's taken way longer than needed since it was an unexpected and very expensive move. All my time was taken up just to work a second job to afford this move which I finally did. I thought things would be better after the move and that I could actually keep a consistent schedule for this game but that's not what happened. Long story short, one of the trucks from the moving company that I hired was in an accident which damaged a lot of my stuff, including my fucking computer. So yeah, PC is busted to the point where it doesn't work anymore. I already filed a claim for it so I have that at least. I have a friend trying to fix it for me but it doesn't seem likely. I'm going to take it to a professional if my friend can't fix things so I'm hoping that resolves everything.
Many of you have been super supportive and have given so much to this game and I can't thank you enough but because of that, I need to cancel development on the game. All of you guys are awesome and I don't want to keep you guys waiting for a product that I know I can't deliver, especially to those who are paying monthly. I really tried my best to keep this game going but things just didn't go as planned. You guys deserve someone who can truly put the time into making a game for you all but unfortunately, with my current situation, that person isn't me. I could be scummy and make this message after the month is over but I don't want those of you to be charged again when I know I can't deliver so hopefully this gives you all enough time to cancel your pledges now before you get charged.
Again, I'm so sorry that I have to cancel this game and I apologize for anyone who feels cheated but I would just be leading you all on. I wanted to let you guys know about this earlier when it happened but I didn't want people to worry or freak out. I wanted to try after the move was finished, to really put the time into making this game but then what I said above happened. That's my fuck up for not telling you guys more about my situation earlier. I know many of you may not be interested but on the bright side, this new job that I'm working where I live now is way better than my old one, so I'm going to be putting all of my time into that right now.
I want to state again that I truly am thankful for all the support and to all of you who played my game even though things didn't work out in the end like I had hoped. This game had a great start but it also had a pretty rocky decline as things went forward. I never really had the time or means to really give this game the attention that it deserved from the start. I'm hoping that my PC will be fixed but if not, I don't know if I'll ever resume working on this game again at some point or who knows, maybe even start up a new game, so consider this the end. You've all been awesome supporters and I can't thank you enough!
