Hello everyone!

It has been a little bit since I gave an update on the status of the game and I figured now would be as good a time as any to do so. Spoilers: development is still continuing, just going to be a bit before the next update.

As luck would have it, after nearly 5 years of service, my power supply finally decided it was time for its well deserved rest in the component afterlife. Luckily nothing else on my computer was damaged but any progress that I had hoped to make over the holidays is now going to have to be put on hold -- no music, no game dev, no nothin'.

While this is super unfortunate, I am hopeful that by the time I get it replaced I will be able to dedicate a bit more time to continuing improvements on Esoterica. I had initially planned to kick out updates every two weeks since the Scream Jam, but I think I am going to rework that mentality a little bit...

Once things are back up and running I am going to focus on making larger, more noticeable updates to the game -- focusing on overall quality, rather than quantity. This seems like the best approach to actually getting the game where I want it and gives me a bit more breathing room to pursue future projects when I am feeling overwhelmed.

Long story short: I didn't abandon this game, I guess I am getting an unintentional break due to component failures on my PC, and I am actively planning my next main project that I would like to pursue over the coming months/years.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
