You may have noticed that I have been absent for quite a while. I'm sorry about that. I have a lot to say. Buckle up, this is gonna be a long one.

First off, the worst part: Demented Nightmare is delayed indefinitely. This is for a lot of reasons, and I can try to explain some of them. But the main one is a personal reason that I can't really discuss here. Just know that I would not "cancel" the game if it wasn't the only option.

When I started development in late July, I would stay up until past sunrise working on the game, and get 3 to 4 hours of sleep. I loved working on it and was extremely motivated. Then, around October, some things happened that I don't wish to discuss and my over all health deteriorated rapidly. I worked on the game minimally, hoping that I would quickly recover. I did not. I have slowly been getting better, but I am not in a place where I can commit to a big project right now.

So why do I say "delayed indefinitely" and not canceled? Well, I might revisit the game at some point. If I did, it would look a lot different. It would be a lot smaller, and more story-focused. I would completely start over from scratch (except I would probably keep the character models because they're awesome).

I always said that this would be the only fangame I make, and after this I will focus on original games. I have had an idea for an original game since before development started on this one, and maybe I'll give that a shot at some point. But honestly, I don't know.

Fangame Indirect is cancelled as well. I managed it horribly, which is ironic because part of why I started it was because of how poorly managed other similar events were. Basically, it got way bigger than I anticipated and I couldn't keep up. And that's entirely my fault.

I had a lot I wanted to say here, and I don't think I've said all of it, but honestly I can't remember all of it. If I think of other things to say, I'll make more posts.

Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you. To all of you. I never expected so many people to be excited about my little fangame, and for that I am eternally grateful. Maybe I'll see you again, maybe I won't. But either way, I am glad I was able to go on this journey, even if it didn't end the way I would have liked.

(I will stick around for a little while to respond to comments and answer questions, so feel free to say/ask anything you want here)

So long, and thanks for all the fish :)
