Seeing this does warm my heart.
I have been in a bit of a motivational slump as of late, and as a result decided to use this opportunity to improve my personal life rather than let the deletion consume any and all motivation I had towards this project. I did not want to simply give up on the project, despite the criticisms towards it, so instead I walked away for a moment to take a breath.
I do plan on continuing the development. I do plan on finishing the game. There will eventually be a "you win" screen of some kind. A lot has just been happening lately that has been draining my motivation tank and so every time I boot up RPG Maker MZ, I just sit there and stare at it, until I eventually just close it. I decided there is no reason to force myself to continue the development, since what will be made will just be bad.
I do need to remake the Discord server as well at some point since that seems to have mysteriously vanished (and was totally not deleted by me during one of my depression slumps, I swear). Things are beginning to normalize again, and who knows what the future will hold.
Thank you for your dedication in creating this page so the people who were still interested in the game can still find it.
