FRWB TLOTS, TPOC, TOC and Overpowered Officially Canceled

Fire Red, Water Blue, and Subsequent Old Games are Officially Canceled!

Dear Players, Supporters, and Everyone who followed the development since Day 0:

They say it's better to learn to let go than to continue developing something you've lost your love for, and in game development, this applies too... It takes a lot of effort to develop a game, truly high, especially for me who has a knack for making stories and making games that I am passionate about, and yes... its hard to meet expectation, especially if you are your enemy(Losing focus, loosing passion with that project etc.) and those are the biggest killer especially to us Indie devs, I started these projects with boundless passion, ambition, and vision. But over time, I found myself losing focus and love for these stories, not because they were bad, but because I changed a lot of the years, and the projects didn't. Game development is hard, especially for us indie creators who wear all the hats—writer, coder, artist, marketer, and it’s even harder when you begin to fight your expectations.

I have a very bad habit of starting high projects, if you think about it all the games I killed(TPOC, FRWB II, and TOC) are all 1% of the plan I hope them to be, and it hurts seeing and letting them go... especially since I poured sweat, tears and time over it and now I'm killing it off, but at some point, you'll see that the project I'm making? Old games? Like these, it requires rework, and rework takes forever!
Storyline? lost or too shallow, art style? Weaker and its past reputation? tainted back when I was working with Nexus Studio.  That kind of reboot and fixing would stall all other projects and halt development entirely. And as someone who survives thanks to your donations, delays are devastating.

These cant all be solve by a simple reshuffle of code, or reshuffle of logic because It will take Ages to restart, And Restarting means that I have to delay other projects, and restarting Means that updates will be stalled, and Update stalling is a money killer, since I heavily rely on YOUR DONATION, and unlike tobyfox or ConcernedApe, I don't have a massive fanbase that is willing to wait for me to sift through the story and rework them, as a matter of fact today? wherein I've been gone for almost 2 years of disappearance? The algorithm had completely left me behind,  and risking a rework further increase the risk of making my previous efforts burried, and restarting from scratch would only sink me further here in itch.io and subsequently other platforms which rewards devs who are more active, and consistent, hence why reworking stuff means it'll take forever and once again I'll be gone for a whole while... 

I'm already starting a new project and I've been meaning to showcase it to you all, but the guilt of not updating FRWB and other projects is haunting me, but whenever I try to open RPG Maker MZ, Gdevelop, etc. I'm being haunted by my poorly optimized code, my questionable development attitude, my past collaboration as the lead dev of Nexus Studio, and everything!

I'm taking accountable over the cancelation of these games, and it sucks killing stuff, but at some point, its better to kill it off than letting you all think I'm still thinking of updating it, a worse creator is a person who does not tell everyone that the game is off and letting them wait for something that isn't coming...

it sucks I know, but I hope the next reworks (FRWB, TPOC And TOC all created on RPG Maker MZ and Godot) will be better than this boiling piece of History!
I've learned a lot! And from now on, I'll start following Final Fantasy or Netflix, or FNAF style of releases, wherein I only release apps per Acts, and only release games within the boundaries of the story! This way, if I ever need to rework, I won't need to rework everything, and only rework it on the latest Acts of the game to retconn it without having to cancel everything because reworking takes forever!

Once again, this isn't the last time you'll be seeing this IP's, but this is the last time you'll see the game's Legacy version, after this, it'll only be on itch.io for archival purposes... May I hope you all understand my decision!

Thank you for believing in me, even through the chaos. Your support means more than you know. ❤️
