I'm returning to finish the game + news


I'm gonna be honest with you all. For a while, my single drive to finsh this was to close a chapter in my life, and deliver what I promised years ago. But that was not enough, creeping anxiety, constantly comparing my work to better creators, insecuritties and other life issues never let me work on it in peace. I tried to run away from all of this, in what I admit was a cowardish move, I couldn't even muster the courage to actually cancel it. But now with the Fazbear Fanverse announcement, I want to give Initiative purple a third, final chance. The game must be around 45% complete at this point, and before moving on to other projects, I must finish it. I need closure, even if little-to-nobody actually plays it. Or else, I have a feeling I will be haunted by this all my life, just like i've already been haunted by it during all this time.

I hope you guys understand that I didn't leave because I hate the game. It's a story that I want to tell, a personal story, perhaps a bit too personal. I hope I can deliver on the non-existant hype, and maybe bring closure to someone else. Just don't expect updates to be frequent though. I've recently entered college and you can expect, that means long hiatuses, but I promise that if the game is cancelled this time, I WILL cancel it publically.

TL;DR: I'm back after a secret hiatus because of personal issues, and I'm planning to finish this once and for all. Don't expect it to come quickly though.
