Unspoken hiatus


Dear friends,

I am not going to charm and deny what has been obvious for some time. The game is under a hiatus due to my mental health issues and struggling after finishing my 7 year long relationship, loosing and having to find a new job.

I have been slowly recovering, regaining some faith in myself.

Until...


On the 13th of October, Thursday morning my dad has been taken to the hospital after a heartattack. His heart stopped twice but they managed to revive him. I even talk to him that evening after he woke up. In the early hours of 14th of October my dad passed away in his sleep. Since then I have been feeling lost, empty, emotional, in pain, it was hard time breathe. I was frustrated, annoyed and angry. Today was his funeral service. I couldn't fly back home because I would never be able to get such money, but they offered to do a Live video stream. 

I really didn't want today to come. And now after all this I just... I have never felt this empty and lost.


I'm sorry for not delivering the game to those of you that liked it.

I'm so sorry for your loss, you have my condolences. We'll always be here as fan, if you decide to return to this project. But first and foremost, take time for yourself <3 

My deepest condolences. I know it must be really hard. We all care for you. Take all the time you need. If you need to talk, I’m sure we all would be willing to listen. Your life comes first. You’re a great person. So just take the time you need.

My condolences, as previously I said in Discord: Take your time, grieve. We'll be here, never forget: You're not alone.

my deepest condolences for your lost. Take your time to rest and recover. It has been quite a hectic time for you, so it is essential that you do. I hope you can regain the drive to create once more. Whatever happens, thanks for informing us and for making the game so far. Best of lucks to you

I'm really sorry to hear the news. Apparently, we have no reason to  expect your recovery in a while. When something like this happens to people, they deserve to lead off those feelings and try to move on. People cannot really empathize each other afterall. Just want you to know that we hope you can  figure this out and we support every decision you make on the project. (ง •̀_•́)ง

You did. . Better than i did.

It might not do you alot of Good to tell you how my numbing pain.. i grew into it. Like large pants.

I grew to Handle it, even if i couldn't Understand all the hows& whys.

I started feeling Robotic after awhile. Then, abit more like a person. I did what i could to make the best of everything blowing up in my face. Back then. 

& Of it all going cold& grey.

1day chem assists will not Do It for ya any more.

You will want deeper sensations. #Something will come along& shatter that emotional shell; & you'll Love it.

A Task. A pet. A friend. A new place or an old thing.

Life will start happening to you again. Instead of just glancing off your Walls.  Life may even build up to something that you may realize, as i did. Was even worse.

That having survived the original ordeal. Even as a 'grey ghost'. You still Breath. Your heart beats. You may even SelfDestruct afew times. Let noone tell you 'you shouldn't'. 

Expressing yourself is better than givingup & shutting down all over. No1 can Tell you how to achieve Balance with yourself again.

You might selfDest, shutdown & bounce back Stronger. BlowingUp, resting & burning brighter/better for it, is stellar evolution. 

If you need to talk. & Rap it out. I cant guaranty Enlightenment, but ...
