So...


Hey everybody.  It's been a long time since my last devlog. 

By now, you're probably wondering if the game is cancelled, on hiatus or simply lost in development. It's been 4 months or so since 0.2 was released, and honestly? I don't know when Chapter 3 is coming.

I don't want to waste your time with melodrama, so I'm gonna give it to you straight. As of now, London's Aesop is on an indefinite hiatus. Work, other projects and life itself have just been fucking with my head. I need to put the game to the side and focus on the here-and-now. I'm sorry, but my health and wellbeing come before my creative pursuits. 

So is the game cancelled? No. I'm coming back to it. I don't when, but the game WILL be finished. Again, indefinite hiatus. 

Thanks for your time, and please, forgive me.
HyenaDev.

It saddens me that the game has been cancelled. I was really really loving the game so far. But it's good that you had to do what you had to do for your own well-being. Again while it is upsetting that it's cancelled, it's good to do so if you feel like it's better for you, so I hope life continues in other good ways for you

Please have a good rest .It's a very very great game. I'm looking forward to the update. No matter how long I wait, I'll wait

Take care, dude. The happiness that this story gave me... Maybe you should make a Ko-fi, so we can chip in?

Thanks for letting us know!

In the 1920s, famous composer Frank Martin started work on a big, new piece of music. He got a fair way through it, and then stalled. He put it in a drawer. It stayed in the drawer for many years.

But, after all that time, he had inspiration. He got it out again, and finished it. The result is one of the most famous and popular choral works of its time. See, e.g. the end:

Times are hard right now. Sometimes, art needs to take a backseat to life. That’s true for anyone, no matter who they are. It might not seem like it now, but things will get easier. It may take time, but you’ll eventually be able to work on this again. And when you do, your audience will still be here! Your work is good, and there will always be people who will be interested in it. Take that from me!

So, take the time you need! Ride out the storm of life. And when the waters calm again, and you return refreshed and revived, there will be plenty of people excited to see what you write next. Myself included!

Until then, all the best, and I hope things get easier for you soon!

Darling, take all the time in the world you need. There can never be any VN if the author is, ah, indisposed.  So please, don't stress yourself out over this decision and take care of yourself.
