Hey y'all. There probably aren't a lot of people who're gonna read this who haven't seen the announcement on the Discord server, but I'm gonna say here what I did there.

I'm gonna start with saying I know I've said that I'm starting to get burnout on the project multiple times in the past and but then immediately just gotten back to work. But this time feels different.

Truth is, I have a very short temper as some of you may already know of. And programming has not been helping it. I usually go through these 4 stages of frustration when my code doesn't do as I want it to; first I start off neutral, possibly in a good mood even. Then I start getting a bit annoyed, but nothing too bad. Then I start getting really frustrated and begin to gnaw at my left hand, leaving bite marks. Then I reach the danger point, I start getting violent. I've punched my monitor more times than I can count on both of my hands. But the other other day I found a 5th stage of frustration. I broke down. I sobbed as hard as I would have when losing a loved one because I just couldn't take much more.

Now I know what you're probably thinking, "But Claire, just take a break and come back later" or "just stop yourself before reaches the hand gnawing stage", and I would. If my brain would let me. If I try to walk away from it to try and take a break, the problem just keeps clawing at the back of my head like a wild animal and I can't stop thinking about how to fix it.

This project used to make me happy. But it's now starting to hurt me, both mentally and even physically. My own stubbornness and perfectionistic mindset are screwing over both me and Bio-Breaker.

Next update, if it even comes out that is, will be the last, at least for a while. Until I can get this temper under control I will try to avoid working on the game. Thank you all for playing my game. It's been a wild ride and I hope to be able continue again in not super long from now.

Thank you for your time.
