motivation.

Hey guys, I know I recently made an announcement a few weeks ago about a major update, it's still planned...however

I'm making a re-do of a post I made a few months ago, just clearing the air and answering several questions.

Is the game Dead?

No, it's not, it never has been.
I never want to quit this game really, even though a few people know I say that alot.

How Are You?

A LOT of people ask me this, and I went into detail in the past post like this, but honestly?

Not that good, dealing with alot of stress about making this game as best I can with basically Zero Dollars Funding (steam has not given me the donation money, sorry.)
Plus, on top of my Severe Depression, it's looking really bleak for my motivation.

I really don't know what else to say about myself.

Why are updates taking so long?

Motivation, and me constantly wanting to make something that can compare to other indie games.

Among other things, i've recently lost a lot of people, including a really experienced programmer in which i Had to fire due to the fact I wasn't comfortable working with him.

I've also lost my main musician, only leaving pretty much 1 person left that knows how to do music, along with myself.

...so this game isn't doing too good.
I have Zero Support, no experienced people to help, and lacking motivation.

how does toby fox do it.

I'm trying to make a really good game for free, for everyone, but I don't see people really caring, theres barely a community due to the lack of a game.

so...I don't know what to do.

this game needs help.
I need help.
from you guys.

I'm trying my best, but I need motivation, I need hope, hope that this won't be another normal SCP game, that this won't be another project people can forget.
