I've Come to Make an Announcement

[OssieTheOstrich]

I have made the decision to take an indefinite hiatus from all of my hobby projects in order to devote my full attention to my professional work. I have come to the realisation that my fan game projects have been causing a detrimental influence on my life, limiting my potential in realms unrelated to my hobbies and likely causing me undue anguish and stress.

It is somewhat surprising that it has taken me this long to realise that I should have stopped my fan gaming projects upon the completion of Mario's slightly Unusual Boss Rush. At the very least, I now understand the sentiment expressed by MisteryGX/Ralorche (the creator for Essence of Waluigi I & II and the Mr. Pence series) when he stated his similar decision to abandon all of his own fan projects.

Then again, I'm questioning whether I will steadfastly adhere to this course of action, or if I will inadvertently revert to creating additional hobby projects when I have more free time available.

Oh and just to be clear, I am NOT cancelling my fan games, I'm just gonna take a indefinite hiatus from them.

..wow, is that a highly formal announcement or what?

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

I'd love to see your fangames and other hobbyist projects get finished, because they look really neat! But ultimately, I want you to do what's best for you. If you think you're at a point in your life where you need to focus on your professional projects, that's totally understandable. Either way, I hope you'll stick around and share whatever cool things you're doing!

Course clear! You got a card.
