Hello. I have been working on The Adventures of Liam for the last year and a half, with Platform X (what I consider beta versions of TAOL) for much longer than that.

I'll just outright say it - I'm burned out on the whole 2D sidescrolling platformer thing. I originally started working on Platform X in January 2019 and have worked on the same base ever since, meaning the code is a TOTAL mess. To be honest, it needs re-writing from the ground up.

I have thought about it for the last couple of months; at the moment I don't feel like I am ready to rewrite the entire game.

HOWEVER. I do still want to work on a game project, but at the moment a 2D platformer simply isn't really an option in my eyes.

I am going to be putting my focus into a new game in a genre that I have never worked on before. I have several rough ideas of what I want to make, but the ideas all need a LOT of polishing before I put too much into the project that I decide to work on.

As for TAOL, it will still be released someday. I don't want to put the last 5 years of work to waste. Plus, to be honest, my ideas for TAOL are extremely ambitious all things considered.

I need to work on a smaller, simpler game for the time being so that I do not get completely burned out on TAOL and potentially development as a whole.

I will still work on TAOL from time to time, however I will not be putting all of my effort into it for the time being.

Thanks for reading.
