We can only hope that Visa and Mastercard will allow itch to work again. If I try to sell the game or receive donations, the could be banne, it's sad and it sounds dystopian, but that's the world today, and I don't like the direction it's taking :c
Yes, at least I don't try anything with those destructive ideas that go through my mind, for now at least, I have suffered from depression all my life and I have learned to deal with that. But this time, something happened inside me and I just snapped. Thank you for your words, and yes, I probably need to seek help to regain my motivation and will to live.
It is dangerous to talk about this when you are a developer, so many prefer to keep silent. But I like to be honest, even though it will probably hurt my support. Thanks for your words
Yes, Maybe one week is not enough, but it is difficult when you depend on your activity as a job, I don't have medical insurance or anything, so all this affects also the support to the game. sad but true
Yes, it is a good initiative to include in my routine. I hardly go out once a month, because I feel too tired to do extra activities, but maybe a little bit of walking will help me. Thank u <3
Yes, in my case I may have waited too long before taking a break. I've gone through a lot of negativity and I feel like it all hit me at once, now I just need to see what to do
Yes, at this point I will need help in some way, I am not well and I feel that my self-confidence is at an all time low. The extreme hours of development have also affected my heart, so I had to stop for a while and rethink myself as a person, I hope it won't take as long as you say, but you never know.
You'd be surprised how many people do it, even though they are quiet. Taking a break affects monetary support, which complicates development a lot, but in this case I need it, or I don't feel strong enough to continue. Thank u for your words <3
A month would be too long and could affect the development. As I am self-employed and do not have health insurance or anything like that, losing development days is always detrimental. But yes, I must work on a better schedule and not kill myself this way, or I won't be able to finish the game that I have dedicated so much love to.
Yes, I understand that point, but if you don't follow a rhythm, you become irrelevant as a creator, it's part of the reality of the industry, especially when you are an indie developer. I don't have a publisher or someone big behind and I don't have a budget to do marketing. The only thing left is to be constant and improve quality. Thank u for your comment <3
