Announcement

This has been a long time coming, and I am sorry.

TL;DR: I am going on hiatus. I will not be making bots for the time being, only posting those that I have finished previously or my current commissions. At the moment, I do not know when I will return.

I have made the decision to step back from bot creation for the time being. For months I had been hoping that things would get better, but I’ve reached a point where I can no longer ignore how my mental health is being affected by everything.

I am not happy.

Genuinely the most unhappy I have ever been and it is affecting my bots as well as my personal life. I’ve tried to hide it from my friends but I can’t anymore. I need to take a step back from this for the time being and take care of myself.

I do not know when I will be back, hopefully by October I will feel secure enough to be able to post new content. As for now, consider this to be a hiatus.

I have several commissions that I will still make and publish, however I will not be making more besides those commissions and the second bot I have saved in my backlog for Shiftember.

I’m so sorry for starting Shiftember only to call for a hiatus right after. I was not planning on this happening, everything came to a head all at once in my personal life. Please, feel free to continue Shiftember in my absence. Think of it as an open collaboration—I’d love to see what you all can create.

I can’t thank you enough for sticking with me through everything. It’s surreal to see how many of you are here, and I feel so grateful. When I return, sometime in the future, I hope I’ll be in a better place with more creativity and passion to create bots for you. That’s all I’ve ever wanted: to write, to create, and to bring a little bit of joy to peoples lives. But right now, I’m not in a place where I can do that.

I hope I can come back better, for all of you and for myself. Thank you for everything, again, you mean the world to me.

With love, Delirenous 💜
