I couldn't reply to your post right away, but I think it's better now than never. It's amazing that responsible developers like you still feel the need to apologize and justify themselves. Especially next to those who spend years extorting money from players and then say - bye guys! (Or just disappear silently).
Obviously, there are creative people for whom trauma becomes a source of inspiration, but personally, it seems to me that this is more the prerogative of poets. For most creatively gifted people, this is just trauma, and with increased sensitivity, it's even worse. Of course, you should first pull yourself together again and only then look for new strength and inspiration. If this happens after the right time, it will be good. If not, then maybe a new project will come as a new beginning. All of us (who love your games) will support your decision in any case.
