Hello there everyone. Hope you're all doing alright.

In April 2022 I decided I wanted to try and make a game, just to see how far I could take it. Chimera's first preview was released in July of the same year and despite being a buggy mess it received incredible amounts of support, which helped me not only fix the game but learn a lot about game development.

It was an excellent experience for me and I do not regret a single second I spent working on this game, but things were very different for me in 2022. It was a year full of uncertainty and frustration, but I also had enough free time to be able to work on a passion project like this. Things have started to change and I unfortunately I cannot commit my time to developing the game in a steady pace anymore. Even if I did continue to work on the game, the windows between updates would only start to grow bigger.

In a way , it was starting to become irresponsible of me to put too much time in a passion project which, while I enjoyed working on, wasn't contributing much to my personal life. It's not an easy decision or one I think most people will find agreeable but I am putting Chimera on an indefinite hiatus until I can assert that working on it won't put the rest of my responsibilities in jeopardy.

The game's Ko-Fi has been paused for a while now and I have refunded the last active month to all subscribers, it was only fair. I am very thankful to everyone who ever pitched in a bit of money. While it wasn't  a fortune, I would not be where I am today without the extra bits donated  by some very kind people.

The only thing I can hope for is that the game made someone's day a little better at some point. Thank you all for sticking around. Catch you later.
