As you all have probably been able to tell, progress on BoG has been a bit... bogged down lately (I'm so sorry, but I had to do it). I know I probably should've made this announcement earlier, but it's better late than never, I guess. And with that, I'm going to be completely honest with everyone waiting on updates and say this:
I simply don't have the time to work on this project this semester.
... at least not without absolutely loathing myself in the process. Although, to be perfectly honest, I could probably find some time to squeeze out of my day and invest into BoG, but at that point I wouldn't have any motivation left to do anything productive. There are just other things I would rather do. I'm busy enough as it is with classes, other projects, and the seemingly vain hunt for internships in the summer. I may even be working part-time as well (horrible idea and I know I'm gonna regret it if it goes through, but I'm desperate for work experience). I have at least four different projects going on at any given time this semester, some harder or easier than others, and frankly, they're all important to my future than BoG. Of course, this isn't what I wanted, and it took me by surprise going into this semester.
That isn't to say I'm completely abandoning BoG though. I've enjoyed making it and working with everyone who's been involved, whether you've worked with my personally, left a comment, made content, posted on the forums, just lurked around, etc.. I know there have also been problems with organization and communication in the forums too. That's my fault because I'm a horrible leader in every sense of the word and failed to really manage everyone who has expressed interest in helping out. I apologize for that. Anyway, this project is sorta kinda my brainchild, so I'd hate for it to just die. While I can't really afford the time to work on it now, I should be able to pick it back up in the summer regardless of whether or not I manage to find an internship or something.
Long story short, this is my official hiatus announcement. I have stopped development on BoG until (most likely) the summer. I won't be shutting anything down or anything, and I'll still be happy to reply to questions and stuff about the game on both FA and the forums. While I'm not gonna feel bad or anything about this, I'm sorry if this comes as a disappointment to anyone.
TLDR: BoG is kill until summer.
