Fnaf : Blackout

I've burnt myself out, hard


This is exactly what it sounds like it's going to be unfortunately. I've spent years trying to make a fan game I'm happy with, the last 2-3 years on just Blackout alone, and I think I'm sick of it by now. I hate that I barely have anything to show for it, but I can't open a project without just feeling exhausted, and if I do get motivation I spend so much time working that I just burn out of it because I know that when I finally do stop that motivation is gonna be gone. The most fun I've had from my *hobbies* has been things that have nothing to do with fnaf. My passion turned into trying to make something original while still fnaf, and to try and make something that I think is worth all the time it takes to make which shouldn't be my focus in the first place, but it's all I can think of.

I don't want to say Blackout and Fredbear's Resort are cancelled, I do want to finish them, I am relatively happy with how they are right now, but I wouldn't expect a release from either of them. I've considered even just posting all the files and letting someone else do whatever with them, models, MFA file, any notes or ideas I had written down, just so it doesn't all go to waste if I *dont* come back to them.

Right now I just want to try to focus on original projects and other hobbies I've wanted to get into but didn't out of guilt that I wasn't actively working on my games.

Sorry for such a long wait for nothing but I do appreciate the support regardless
