I feel that an actual statement from myself is warranted, given how long I've taken to produce anything of value for this projects followers.

I have been working on Project Rebirth Reborn/Obscure Rage/Rotten World almost daily for the past 5 years, revamping the game constantly to match my growing skill-set and standards.

With the exception of artwork, modelling and music, I have been handling everything regarding Rotten World. This includes:

• Most of the programming

• Most of the maps

• Most of the story/lore

• All of the custom animations

Putting it simply, I'm exhausted.

Rotten World has, in my eyes, lost its original purpose under the weight of expectations and countless missed deadlines. I only started this project as a hobby for me and my friends. Now I only see it as an obligation; something that I have to make, not something that I want to make.

To restore my passion for the project and restore it to what it was always supposed to be, I am scrapping all plans for a public release and stepping away from the metaphorical spotlight for the foreseeable future.

Rotten World has been publicly cancelled for a few weeks now, and in turn, my mental health has improved significantly since.

We are still working on the project and are having fun doing so, the lack of pressure has taken a huge weight off of my shoulders.

If we complete everything on our private development roadmap, then the team and I will discuss a public release. But for now, we are going dark.

I thank all of you for being so patient with us and deeply apologize for such a disappointing conclusion, but this is for the best.

See ya.

TLDR; No, the game isn't cancelled. We're taking Rotten World completely underground and privatizing the game and its development. We have no plans to release the game publicly until all planned content is completed.
