Hello and happy Halloween.

So for the last few months I've been trying to see if I'd found a way to both have a job and work on a new episode of Yorkshire Gubbins. I said that in October I would announce either a new episode is coming, or announce that I was going to just... rule out ever making any more episodes.

And, at the time, I thought that I was just being overly cautious. I was very confident that I'd found a healthy and sustainable way of working on game development while having a full time job and just managing being a human. I'd actually already made a lot of progress, far more progress than on any other attempt.

But here we are, last day of October, and as much as it pains me to have to say it, it turns out that no, I had not found a healthy and sustainable way of working. And this means that I simply have to accept that making any more content for Gubbins just isn't realistic or possible.

Refusing to let go of this idea that I have to make more content has been a big source of stress and guilt for me. It's made me feel like I can't make anything else until I'd at least made one more episode.

One of the most amazing things about those of you that love this game is your kindness and support. No-one's ever demanded more, no-one's ever made me feel bad about all the failed attempts. The only person who's been doing that to me is myself. And I have to stop doing it.

So, I'm sorry things turned out this way, and I'm sad there will never be any more Yorkshire Gubbins. But maybe there can at least be something else instead now.
