I often try to refrain from posting about my personal life on here, but in this case I will make an exception. You are probably reading this seeing I haven't posted on here in a while thinking "Is the Origins Duology cancelled?" I can assure you that it isn't. You see for years I struggled with an addiction to my medication, and I was not aware I was addicted to it until just a few weeks ago. My medication made me disassociate, it made me negligent, it made me moody, it made me depressed, it made me focus on all the wrong things, and it most certainly impacted how much I worked on this project. It was eye opening to learn this about myself, I knew something was wrong with me. All this happened because I thought I needed a higher dose, that's what my doctor thought as well. This isn't the direct fault of any individual. I can say that my darkest days of addiction have passed. I am currently going to a therapist, I am already doing better and I know that brighter days are ahead of me. I don't know when I will return to work on this, but I know for certain that I have made far too much progress on this just to quit. I'm not giving up, I refuse. I will return to this one day probably in some number of months from now.
In conclusion: For my own mental health I am taking a hiatus. I'll be back, I'm sure of it. The Super Mario Origins Duology will still be released one day, and when it does it will be awesome!
