I’m really sorry about this. I’m not sure whether to continue in what I’m doing. I don’t know whether I really want to be making a visual novel.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. I shouldn’t. I’m really conflicted, though. I don’t know whether to share this kind of thing. Part of me is really afraid of being harassed over it. But I want to share how I’m feeling, and it’s related to game development, so I’ll take that risk. I want people who are commenting to keep in mind that I feel very vulnerable about this kind of post, and that I don’t deal well with jokes about my emotions. Please be gentle. \":(\"<\/p>\n

Working on the visual novel, something felt… wrong. I don’t know why. It was more fun than I usually have while making a game. Something felt wrong about it, though. I really hate feeling that way.<\/p>\n

I’m looking at the roguelike I had planned. I will probably work on that. I’m<\/em> really sorry about not being in the Mini-LD. I’m ashamed of myself, but I can’t seem to focus on my entry. Please forgive me. \":(\"<\/p>\n

I may or may not finish my roguelike. I may or may not get back to the visual novel. I don’t know what I will do. It’s really upsetting for me, but I can’t help it. I really need to look at what I’m doing, and try to figure out why I’m feeling the way I’m feeling.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what to do. I really don’t. I wish I could say with certainty what I will do. I wish I could say what I want out of game development. I really don’t know right now. I’m sorry. \":(\"<\/p>\n

Please forgive me,<\/p>\n
