Hi, this is my first time commenting on itch.io, but I'm glad to hear you're doing okay. The burnout is real and it's a common thing to feel motivated to do a project but when it blows up, the imposter syndrome flares up and many the project gets noticed for wrong and right reasons. I've watched a few game plays of the game and it really made me realize how much effort you do to make your project free for everyone while giving the choice to pay optional. It's not an easy choice to make as a creator and it's something players would enjoy a lot and get around a lot in communities and that's something I respect that you did. I would like to play the game and support you in some ways even if I can't pay at the moment but I'm hoping in the future. You should be proud of yourself for setting boundaries and giving yourself a break. You're a person who enjoys other projects too! I hope you're able to find others that you still enjoy and like without thinking what you do define who you are. Please take care. 😊
