Wouldn't really call what I went through burnout. More so just responding to tragedies while giving myself the space to heal.
And don't worry, work plan hasn't changed much. Just switching to a bi-weekly release plan with no change in amount of content. (Weeklies were 100-140 renders long usually. While bi-weeklies will be 200-280 renders long. Also weeklies will sometimes still be released it just won't be the norm) It just gives me some wiggle room for mistakes.
And thanks for the kind words in regard to not disappearing. That's something I'd never do. I respect my players/supporters too much.
I've received a lot of flack for how I've handled these past few months and I'll admit there are some things I could have done better but one thing I don't think people realize is that I could've phoned in this shit, I never stopped working (besides a few days that I've already mentioned). Throughout these months without a release I've rendered 1200+ images. I just wasn't happy enough with them to put it out. Trust me when I say I could've just put it out and not upgraded my rig and my bank would be $55,000 larger. But fuck that, I don't want it if I don't earn it. I've just tried to do what's best for myself and WVM.
The point of this post is to basically say that if any of you have some doubt in me. Just wait and see, we'll be back to everyone saying "You're gonna burn out if you keep it up" soon.
