I felt a little guilty leaving this game completely silent for a year so I wanted to make this post. Almost completely pointless after this much time, but I'm doing it anyway!

Before anything, I'd like to thank everyone for playing this game! I never imagined that it would get as many views or downloads as it does today. Even though regular updates have halted, it's performing better than it ever has -- which I find strange yet still appreciate greatly.

jOeSU's development although an incredibly fun and fantastic learning experience: was very time consuming and stressful which led to inevitable burnout. I started writing bad code (along with existing bad code due to inexperience), rushed out updates, and just generally began creating something that I wasn't fully pleased with. I put development on hold for the better of the game and my own sanity. Of course, after a break, I was still kind of working on it secretly... I've made about 5 different jOeSU projects from scratch; all that never saw the light of day.
After all of that, turns out more than two years of my life have gone by and I've come to the conclusion that I should probably move onto something else for the time being. Is jOeSU dead? Nope. I just want to work on something different.

I also missed jOeSU's 2nd birthday by 14 days due to a combination of reasons... whoops. Better late than never! Happy birthday, jOeSU :')

In conclusion, I'm officially wrapping up this game's development. I'm almost certain that at some point it will return in a new form, but for now, I wouldn't mind creating something brand-new; so that's exactly what I'll do. I have been increasingly busy this past year so it will probably take a while.

That's all. Thanks for the read.
