Important

Hello!

This is to let you guys know that unfortunately we won't see the release in February either. Thus, billing is turned off.

I've been contemplating for days whether this post should go out with this content. I really didn't want to share this with anyone but at this point I feel like it's important because it is the main reason behind the update taking twice as long as it should've. I want to keep this as brief and matter of fact as possible, I'm not looking for sympathy.

I've been struggling with depression for the better part of the past decade. It never got really bad due to having somebody or something to take my mind off of it. However, at the end of 2021 I've experienced a new trauma, which threw me into a downward spiral.

That was the time when my creativity and output started to plummet. Throughout last year health concerns and questions about my future also kept piling onto me. I did everything to avoid having to address my problems and tried focusing on finishing the last chapter of the game because I thought it would feel special and that it would make me happy and somehow magically change my situation for the better. In hindsight the best decision would've been going on a hiatus in August, when I realized the update got out of hand and fix my shit before proceeding with anything else. Instead I started fixing the art...you know how that went.

Fast forward to the beginning of this year, new year new me and all that, I was feeling hopeful of a quick wrap up of GF Tapes and jumping into the new game then depression hit me like a truck. Sure, the health issue set me back 2 weeks but now 2 months have already passed of this fucking year and I barely made any progress. The worst part is that I could literally see the finish line since December.

I'm not someone that leaves things unfinished so I'll do my best to wrap the game up. But I'm going to need more time.
As for what comes after that I'll address in a post at the appropriate time.
