Anonymous asked: hello friend! im sorry to bother you, but it seems there hasnt been an update or anything here in quite some time, so i hope everything is going well in your life and you decide to update us whenever you decide is necessary or worthy of something! have a good day, keep up the good work! :v

Yes! He’s the short truth of it all:

> I have put more and more thought into it and decided that Cataclysm does not work well as a console game. It might make a good FPS but that’s beyond my means to work on as a solo dev.

> I am enjoying game dev less and less, especially as a solo worker.

> The politics and social media aspect of game dev - which is necessary for any project - is just depressing and boring to me.

> I got a job as a software developer this past summer. This is using up all my creative energy, leaving me with little desire to code as a hobby. Most of the work on Cataclysm was done when I was unemployed or working as a shop clerk.

> I got married almost exactly a year ago. This means that I am now rarely alone in my spare time, and don’t need or want to pour myself into a very solitary pursuit like programming.





In short, if you want to be a game dev, be young, high-energy, unemployed, and single. I am no longer any of those things and my creative output is nearly 0 as a result. I may release something of interest at some point in the future - just before I got this job, I was 90% complete with a simple survival roguelike-like, nice simple arcade action. I’ll try to finish and release that at some point, but who knows when I’ll want to put in the 10 hours of coding required?
