Dear Community,
I'm writing to you today to openly discuss the status of my previous game project [Tessa's Fate] and to share some personal context behind its hiatus.
I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility that has been long overdue.
Before the pandemic, I embarked on a journey to create a game that many of you generously supported. However, the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic led me into a deep depression. Isolated from my family and unable to maintain emotional connections with friends, I found myself in a place where continuing the development of the game felt insurmountable.
In this period of immense personal struggle, I made the mistake of retreating into silence. Instead of reaching out and sharing my difficulties, I allowed the project to fall into an undefined hiatus. I realize now that this silence was not only a disservice to the project but, more importantly, to you - the community who had placed their trust and support in me. For this, I am profoundly sorry.
My silence was not born out of disregard for your support or the project, but rather out of an inability to cope, and admittedly, a certain immaturity. I failed to communicate, a fundamental aspect of our relationship as creator and supporter.
To those of you who supported my previous project, I am committed to making things right. I plan to reach out personally to discuss and offer compensation for the support you gave that went unfulfilled. This is an important step for me in rebuilding trust and showing my gratitude for your support.
Now, I am working on a new game project. This project is born from my recent experiences and represents a fresh start. I want to assure you that the lessons I've learned from my past mistakes are guiding my approach this time around.
Please know that I have learned a great deal from this experience. I am committed to being more transparent, providing regular updates, and ensuring better communication with all of you. I am dedicated to ensuring that this project not only succeeds but also serves as a testament to my growth as a developer and a person.
Your support has always been a cornerstone of my development journey, and I deeply value the trust you place in me as a developer. I hope you will join me as I embark on this new project, and I look forward to rebuilding the trust that was lost.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Warm regards,
AzRabbitz
