So, I'm a very private person. I think a side effect of this fact is that I'm notoriously bad about not keeping you guys in the loop. That's one of my flaws. So here's me trying to tell you guys what's going on with me/Avabur.
Some of you may have noticed I've been around in main a lot less recently, and I think not at all for the past week or so, and that I've been even less responsive to whispers than usual. The reason for this is that I just haven't been in the healthiest mental state recently. I suppose specifically it's depression (undiagnosed tho). This has happened in the past in the life of Avabur, but I'd eventually get over whatever was going on and enjoy working on Avabur again. I'm sure I'll eventually enjoy working on Avabur again, but right now I just don't. When I come around and start working on it now, I just feel drained and I dunno. I don't know how to explain it. It just isn't fun for me currently.
As a result, I've been seriously considering having someone, or perhaps multiple people come along and work on the game instead. If you like me as a dev, don't worry, I'm not going to sell the game, and I'd still be involved in the development process (at the very least, I would have to approve anything someone wanted to add/change), etc. but I would likely not be the one doing the devving for a bit. The reason I'm considering it is because it comes with a few benefits:
1) If I'm not up to it, someone else is there who might still have the passion to work on the game
2) Having other people around to bounce ideas for the game off of might actually increase my own passion/interest in the game again
3) I'm sure there's more but I don't care enough to think about it atm
I know there's a lot more I could say, but honestly I lost interest even in writing this post at this point, and I don't really want to post it, but I'm going to because you guys probably deserve a bit of info about what's going on and why shit hasn't been getting done. This isn't me looking for sympathy or making excuses or anything for those of you who are going to say that. Just trying to fill you guys in a bit and try to correct my issue of not doing so.
