Hello everyone,
It's a bit complicated to write this message, but I've decided to pause the billing cycle for a minimum of 1 month. In the past few days, I haven't worked much on the development of the next version, mainly due to a lack of motivation on my part. The development of My New Home depends solely on this motivation.
Developing My New Home is a hobby, and currently, I'm approaching it more like an obligation/work that I don't enjoy rather than a passion that inspires me to work on MNH.
This means that I'm not really satisfied with what I'm doing, and the idea of the game I originally wanted to develop is starting to deviate from what I'm actually creating. And I think that's my biggest mistake, listening too much to people's feedback. Critiques are good, but they've confused me more than anything else. I tried to please everyone, which is an impossible task.
But I've come to realize that there will always be people who don't like, or even hate, what I'm doing. The perfect game for everyone doesn't exist, and foolishly, I thought I could create it, a game that everyone would love.
Even though I was planning to pause the billing cycle for 1 month because I'm going on a trip next week, I didn't expect to do it a week early due to a lack of motivation.
I won't lie, this is very complicated because I know you've paid to support my development, but I don't want to force myself to do things and release versions that don't satisfy me. I just can't develop my game like this right now.
Again, I'm sorry. This is my very first game, and I've made mistakes that I regret. I'm going to take a complete break for a month and really think about what I want to do. Even though I believe there are three main options:
- Completely stop the development of My New Home and games of this kind for me.
- Continue the development of My New Home if I rediscover that "spark" that inspires me.
- Stop the development of My New Home and maybe create a new game, having learned from my mistakes, which I will truly enjoy.
I'll get back to you at the end of November to let you know what will happen to My New Home.
Thank you again for your support despite everything, and I'm sorry to disappoint you.
AMN.
