I don't know if anyone is interested in reading this, but I would like to share some of the things I have been thinking. The title of the post obviously describes the situation of my current project: Insolita.

Despite my efforts to promote it, unfortunately my title did not attract many people, few views, fewer downloads and literally no feedback be it in comments, criticisms or suggestions. In fact, the only comments on the game page and on the posts are my own, joking around a bit.

Of course, I was already aware that this situation could happen. In fact, considering the current volume of games and the drop in interest in RPG maker games, it was expected, so, speaking on a personal level, it does not upset me, it does not make me sad or hopeless, just disappointed.

This game may not be as good as others of its kind, or as innovative or challenging, but it contains exactly the story I wanted to tell. I made it as a love letter to the engine, exploring the maximum I could achieve in a story I wanted to tell. But maybe that was the mistake. The story we want to tell or, the game we like to play is not what the others want.

Since its release, I've worked hard on the project, covering some flaws that some friends had pointed out to me, correcting things that I myself hadn't liked, and working to improve existing aspects, while still working on the next stages of the story.

There were no more content updates because, after some time, I realized that I was literally the only person interested in them, that it would only be worth continuing to invest my time and work in this project if I wanted to play it to the end, and well... Today, I don't think I want to anymore.

When no one likes something that only you like, maybe the problem is with you. Maybe you're using some filter or lying to yourself, and I don't want that for myself. Every day I spend improving this project, creating, working on it, it's a day that I could be playing something else, hanging out with my friends, watching a movie or series or even relaxing.

So I decided to stop. I will no longer work on this game, I will no longer try to promote it, ask people to play it and give their opinion or even recommend its page. I will always have a special affection for this project and I hope that one day, maybe a few years in the future, I can sit down and work on it again, knowing that, this time, I will be doing it just for myself.

I know you don't exist, and maybe I'm talking to myself. But if you played and had fun with this game, thank you very, very much. I'm sorry to disappoint you by not ending this project now, but I believe you deserve to know why I won't continue with it.

As for the future, I haven't thought it through yet, I have some other smaller projects that I've been having fun with, maybe I'll publish them, I hope that, if that happens, I can count on your support again.

A good end to 2024 and happy holidays.
