Surprise, surprise. Here we are again.

For the past few months I've felt completely void of inspiration to work on TUA. It's been a real struggle for me to even want to complete levels I started building weeks ago. I can't come up with cool ideas for bosses, level gimmicks, or anything that would work in the context of the project. So, I looked back on everything I've made to see why it's come to this. Then it donned on me.

In all my years in this community I kept trying relentlessly to build this project up. Even after three revival attempts I was honestly too stubborn to realize I'm beating a horse that's been dead since probably 2014. But in the process it's continued to grow stale on me, and I failed to give this any identity other than "generic SMB3 styled episode with ships." But all the while I've had surges of ideas that make me want to build upon them, but to do that it'd require me to wipe the slate clean and start over.

So I'm gonna do what I should've done a long time ago.

I'm officially laying The Ultimate Armada to rest. I'm also gonna take a much-needed break from projects altogether. In the meantime I want to build up my ideas and come back in the future with something truly original and new, something I'd be proud to post here.

Until then, my dudes. See ya soon.

Sad that the episode is ended.

EDIT: But I understand, the work had to end somewhere and stress was eating up your time, I guess, so that's the end of the episode.

Are you ever going to release the stuff you have left? It honestly looks like a great episode, you even uploaded it to the PROJECT HELP CENTER; the only reason i didn't reply was because i didn't know much about lunalua, i loved this project, sad to see it go.

Most of it is in an unfinished state so it's really not worth uploading. Anything polished and done was put in the early demo.

Thank you for the positive comments! Whatever it is I make next, I hope you enjoy it all the same!

This is why you have a team for this sort of thing. Especially when it comes to ideas. Also I'm sure you'll have a lot more ideas when beta 4 comes out. We'll have access to so much more new content

I've tried assembling a team before, and it's never worked out. I'd prefer to do a project mostly on my own.

I'm sad because your project is cancelled too.
That was a awesome project.
