Well, I have a belief that it's better to attempt different things before settling into one, especially as a new dev. But in a way, if I stop developing this and return to Chimera - you can consider the time a little wasted yeah. Not from the skills standpoint, though, since I learned a lot.
Chimera has a scope that is difficult for the solo person to handle, but if people would be willing to support on Patreon and wait a bit more per release - it might work out, let's see how it goes.
