Hello everybody,

Yup the title to the post is indeed true, I'm putting this game officially on a hitus. I haven't worked the game in a few months, and I feel it's disingenuous for the few of you holding out hope for new dev logs and the like. While my passion for this game still remains deep in my heart, the problem is that passion isn't exactly apparent/coming to light at the moment.

Is the game dead?

No, but I'm certainly not going to be working on it in the near future.

Why is this happening?

To go into that we must delve deeper then we ever have in the time we've know each other or really you knowing me. To put quite simply I'm autistic, and while that may hold little relevance in most aspects of my life that concern you, the main reason I brought it up is for a term called Hyperfixations. Now while I can't speak for every autistic individual, what I can say from my experiences is that Hyperfixations are sort of like deep, intense desires to interact with certain things, whatever that be a certain song I hear once and then get moments where I need to hear or else it bugs the shit out of me, or when I get the overwhelming desire to play a game like the Binding of Isaac at the cost of doing literally anything else, regardless of what I was doing before. Now thankfully, making games is one of my Hyperfixations so there's no need to worry about that, but the issue is that desire to work on games fluctuates very often, leading to me focusing on one game at a time really.

While this does have it's upsides and downsides, the long and short of it is that I simply don't have the intense desire to work on ODNaF as I do the game I'm currently working on. And that may change at the drop of a hat tbh, but as it stands I'm sending this message to say that my heart isn't in making this game, for now.

What will I be working on until my intese, overwhelming desire to work on this game sparks again?

The game I'm currently working on is Shitty Reclaiment, the game I made for the Gamejolt Server FNaFB Summer 2022 Gamejam. The initial spark that made me want to dev for that game again was my work on Up on Mount Crupet (another gamejam game). The work I had done on that game could be applied there and so here we are. So follow that game for shit you found here, my needless personal outlets, dev insights, and the like will be going there soon so, follow it or not.

Well until next time,

Frashaw27, the egg bitch
