Cancelled.

     I know everyone is going to be disappointed, but I'm just not in it anymore. I've been working on this game for over 2 years at this point, and most of the time was spent trying to fix it. I've decided that I can no longer continue working on it as doing so is honestly bad for my health, and I have other projects I'm actually invested in now and care about. I'm going to go over some points that might be brought  up by this. And I'll try to keep the ranting to a minimum. 

Are you leaving?

No, just dropping CBs

What will happen now?

I'm making all the previous demos available and publishing the source code for anyone else to have. I think after all this community has done for me I should not keep the source all to myself while abandoning the project.

What about the Discord server?

Honestly, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking I either lock all the channels to read only in about a month or just reskinning it to a general community server. It's been around for so long and had so much go on in it, that it's hard to let go of it.

What went wrong?

This is a big one so I saved it for last. There's two things, I'm not an art, nor a story teller. These are both pretty crucial for making a game, and yet I lack both aspects.  Lots of people have told me already that I should spend some time focusing on those and get better so I can continue work on CBs, but that would mean leaving this project untouched for even longer, and I hardly enjoy it anymore. Others say that I should get an animator or outside help, this would be a great idea, but I'm both broke and bad at managing a team. If it were a situation like BonBon's, one where I'm just a programmer and not the artist or director, I'd keep working on it. But I don't have the passion for this game anymore, it's gotten stale and become what I hate. The game, when it was first conceived, was meant to be a collection of mini games, but over time I decided to add a story, which got changed far too many times. It just became a mess, a horrible mess that I've spent years polishing for it to still be the same mess. I am simply unable to make this into something really worth while without a complete restart.

I hope y'all can understand, and I am truly sorry that I failed you. 

Have a good weekend <3
