Just gonna hop straight into the point, I know I've been rather... silent with FNAF projects lately. Been posting random shit n' all that, and there are many reasons as to why. For one it's the most basic way I can put it, most I can't reveal without it being too early and it could cause stress that way. (minus tiny hints thrown around), and another is the fact I'm starting to get a little distant from game development as a whole. Now, with that being said, I still love FNAF and frankly still wanna show my improvements and show the passion I have so that means I'm not going to be cancelling any fnaf game I'm doing (unless I genuinely need to), I wanna finish what I have pin pointed and at least leave satisfied knowing I can show improvement to what I've done before. With me having a job now, it's been tougher to sit down on the PC for a long time because a majority of the time I'm exhausted or straight up not in the mood. I also wanna take good care with my personal life as well, spend more time with family, go out there more, hang with my friends online and of course hang with my girlfriend @Starruis.
I'm not entirely sure what the future will be, but I do know once I get done with fnaf games (the ones I selected to do) I might just move on from game dev. Not sure how long this'll be and hell I may even eat my words in the future, but as of right now I've just been venting and opening up how distant I've been feeling with it. So do not take what I'm saying here as a sign of me leaving this second, I still got projects I really wanna do and think they're some of my better works. (some friends even think so too, so it makes me highly motivated to put all in and make fangames I'm proud of.)
The reason I'm saying this now is so I can just let it out, be a little honest. I could absolutely save this for later, but I'm saying this now to honestly let off some steam for how I've been and why I've been silent for projects.
ALSO, saw this post as I was typing this. But go give your highest support over to @FeralPossum . They're doing commissions to help them personally. I've been there before and it's certainly not fun. So in any case if you could throw comms over there or at the very least spread this post around you'll be helping a ton: https://gamejolt.com/p/please-read-the-article-i-will-be-more-and-more-happy-to-do-anythi-gr5kw7cq.
Now with all this being said, I'm not leaving anytime soon, just wanted to open up and genuinely let out steam and get this off my chest for how and why I haven't been as active with game dev updates. I just can't show things too early (minus hints as I said) and I genuinely have more focus on real life and other things than game dev and discussing how my future may be with game development after I get done with my picked fangames I'm doing. I'm getting older now so to really speak out and have people listen and understand means a lot
If you've made it this far, thank you, and thank all 14,000 of you who have been here supporting me. You're all genuinely awesome! You all make these works worth it in the end, thank you all! :)
