Five Nights At Smog's changes

So, its been a minute, first off, HAPPY 2024!

Now, obviously there is a whale in the room here, what happened? Well, its a mix of burnout, and life.

Burnout is deadly, and i know it too well. Last time i worked on this game was early December. Not only this, but a lot is happening in my life right now, that's more important than re-making this game is! Such as, my graduation which is this year, applying to post-secondary, and getting a job.

Many things have taken my time, but mostly burnout effected me.

There is plans to resume this game, but please remember i'm just a single dev. Im also working on a much more popular game called SCP:Facility, which you can also find on steam. This game has much more popularity and i've been working on it with a developer team. My time is very small, and i want to leave time for family and friends.

For now, and until i have more time and motivation, I am pausing development on this game. I understand if some of you are upset, however please respect the fact that I'm just a single guy, there's no team working on this game, its just me. Other games i have teams for now, I've learnt my mistake of trying solo dev, it is not easy.

This game will be paused for awhile until i can dedicate proper time to it. Which may be awhile.

Im sorry i havent told you all sooner, but I hope you understand. Much love to you all for the support of this game, it being me and my friends firsts (now just me).

I appreciate everything.

And to the students within Winnipeg that have taken note of this studio, and that have supported it, researched it, and more, thank you. Because it means more than you all know. I appreciate it, and I hope you as a student find your way in game development as i did.

I was also interviewed by a student for my game development work, i was also interviewed by my local press. Its been amazing, and i couldn't've have asked for a better community around this studio and game. Thank you ALL so MUCH.

I cannot thank you all enough, games will continue to be made, but also note, at the same time, my life is being made.

I PROMISE this game will be fully released one day.
