Right off the bat, TL;DR, Fnaf's burning me out and I dont want people to think I'm cooking something big when I'm not. I want to move to original games, but I do still want to occasionally pop in and do some fnaf stuff. I'll also still finish projects I'm helping with. So just consider my projects on a sort of "hiatus"

In more depth, as you can probably tell by now there's a lot of back and forth in my mind about my projects, and that's mostly because I have a lot of things that I'm torn on, I'll tend to wanna focus on art, then I'll wanna focus on game dev, then I wanna focus on trying content creation again, then I'll suddenly wanna learn music, then back to game dev, then art, then game dev, then-

You get the idea, and while I've started to finally settle down on what I wanna focus on most (game development) I still get torn between what I want to do, because I would love to grow more in the fnaf community and meet more people, and I'd love to finish my games and projects, remake my favorites, and tell the story I have in mind (which is probably an overambitious one, but I'd still love to), I also do want to change focus to original games.

While I've never fully posted many projects, I've had devlog pages and projects that could cover a continent. I've worked on so many ideas and projects that I know I love to do this, and I'm actually pretty decent at it, I just end up held back by a lot of things like motivation, or getting a new idea I wanna jump on, which then usually leads to the idea either becoming so constant in my mind that I start to feel drained or have no idea where to start, or someone else makes it. All that and as time goes on, I feel like confining myself to a fnaf game alone holds me back aswell, but when I start to work on something original I feel guilty because of all that I promised on these pages and posts.

All that being said, I would still love to finish Blackout, and make a couple other ideas, but I am just me, I don't have anyone other than a couple friends to test and help with ideas, I don't have anyone to help code, or model or animate, etc., and while I could just ask I also have the worry of roping other people into this cycle of me starting something and then not finishing it, or putting it off for an excessive amount of time. I want to have fun doing this but I'm guilting myself into working on things that I don't want to work on, atleast at that moment.

So what's this mean for the game and other projects? Well pretty much nothing, I still have the intention of finishing a remake of blackout, I just want to get the stress off my shoulders of having people think I really am pouring my all into this game 24/7.

I still intend to finish with projects I'm helping with aswell, but I will start really shifting focus into original projects. I would love to make games as a job, or atleast work on games as a job, but I worry fnaf is confining me into a box that I don't really wanna be in anymore, and with the amount of scraped projects I have I feel like I'm chasing my own tail here. It has been a great stepping stone though, and I definitely *have* learned a lot, I'll just be stepping back more publicly, I dont want people to think something big is cooking when I'm actually just burnt out barely able to model an animatronic cos I just feel a bit of dread and tired from the thought of it.

Final paragraph here, while I don't expect you to I do hope some of you follow me into my original projects, I already have a couple I've been working on a little bit and I'm much happier with them! But regardless thanks for showing interest in any of my projects, I really do appreciate it!
