Ann: Ending Development

Hello everyone,

大家好，

I'm sorry that this is the decision I've ultimately made.

很抱歉最終還是做了這個決定。

This month I also thought about the possibility of slowing down rather than stopping entirely, and tried to work out how to fit development into my schedule. But looking at the life I actually want to build and the goals I have for the near future, there just doesn't seem to be room for game development in it.

這個月也在思考慢慢做的可能性，重新想過自己時間的安排。但看著自己生活的規劃、近期的生活目標，好像真的很難再排入遊戲開發。

Things like getting back into a regular workout routine. It's been about eight years since I last trained four times a week. At the end of October I'll be traveling abroad with family for a week, and later this year I have surgery scheduled, which means several checkups beforehand and hospitalization plus recovery afterward. So realistically, the next six months or so are going to be quite busy.

像是提高健身的頻率，這件事已經放了大概八年，好久沒有一週練四次了。十月底要跟家人出國旅行一週；年底也安排了一場手術，中間還得回診幾次，術後也需要住院跟休養，所以接下來至少半年應該都會很忙碌。

I'm not sharing this to ask for sympathy. The surgery, while significant, isn't tied to anything life-threatening, at most it may affect some bodily function. I just want you to know this isn't a convenient excuse I'm reaching for. So to avoid giving anyone false hope only to disappoint them later, I won't say anything more about possibly reconsidering someday.

說這些並不是要博取大家的同情。這個手術雖然重大，但不是什麼致命的疾病，頂多是身體某些功能會受影響，單純只是想讓大家知道，這不是我隨便找個理由搪塞。為了避免讓大家有期待卻最終又失望，所以我也不會再說什麼「以後再考慮」這類的話。

I'm truly, deeply sorry to everyone who has supported and subscribed along this journey. I'm genuinely grateful to have had you all with me, whether you left comments of encouragement or quietly supported from the sidelines. Seeing you all always gave me a bit more motivation, but I'm sorry to say that motivation ultimately couldn't outlast the pressure and the time it demanded.

真的對一路支持跟贊助的會員們感到由衷抱歉，也很感激一路有你們，不管是留言鼓勵的，還是默默支持的會員，每次看到你們都會再給我多一點動力；但很抱歉，這份動力最終還是敵不過壓力跟時間。

I don't know any of you personally, but I'm genuinely glad to have had you with me this past year or so. Thank you.

雖然不認識你們，但很高興這一年多有你們相伴，謝謝。

I'll be extending the billing pause by another month, since Patreon only allows pausing one month at a time. If you're still subscribed, please remember to unsubscribe to avoid being charged unnecessarily. If possible, I may try adjusting everyone's membership to $0 to prevent any accidental charges, though I'm not sure if Patreon supports that. I'll also be canceling subscriptions to software and platforms I've been paying for, including Mega, so if there's anything you need to download, please do so soon.

我會再延長一個月的暫停收費，因為 Patreon 只能一個月一個月延長。如果還有訂閱的話，再麻煩大家記得退訂，避免白白被收費。如果可以的話，我可能會嘗試把所有會員調整成 0 元，避免有人不小心被收費，但不確定 Patreon 是否支援這樣做。另外，我也會停掉一些軟體平台的訂閱，像是 Mega，如果有需要下載的東西，請大家盡快把握時間。

Ann: Extending the Billing Pause

Important

Hello everyone!

大家好！

I'm sorry to come back after nearly a month with more difficult news.

很抱歉時隔近一個月，又帶來不好的消息。

This month's training has been intense. Daytime hours are spent in class, and evenings go toward project work and development assignments. The next month or so is likely to be even busier, with two exams and a final presentation coming up. Given that, I'll be extending the billing pause by two more months. I plan to check back in with everyone sometime by the end of August.

這個月的培訓期，上班時間需要上課，下班後需要準備專案跟開發；之後還有一個多月估計只會更忙，有兩個考試，也有最終成果的發表。因此我會再延長兩個月的暫停收費，預計八月底會再跟大家更新近況。

I also want to be honest with you all: I'm not sure whether I'll be able to continue developing the game after that. I don't like building up expectations and then letting people down, so I'd rather say this now and let you know where things actually stand.

我也想在這裡如實跟大家說，我不確定之後能不能繼續開發遊戲。我真的很不喜歡給大家希望又讓大家失望，所以想先讓大家知道現況。

This past month without the pressure of development made me realize how much of a toll it had been taking. Since starting the new job in January, I've never really had a proper break. Work brings its own pressures, and after hours and on weekends, there was always the game, and with it the weight of every scene, every image, every piece of writing. Am I making the story interesting enough? Is the protagonist too passive? Is the female lead too naive? Does this character actually look like a father? I know I can't please everyone, and I know some of these worries are excessive, but that's just how I am. The point is, there was always pressure coming from both sides, and no real space to breathe.

這一個月沒有開發遊戲的壓力，讓我意識到這段時間一直在承受多大的重量。從今年一月開始上班後，我從來沒有真正喘息過。上班有工作的壓力，下班後跟週末還有遊戲開發的壓力，每個劇情的構思、每張圖片的製作，我一直在擔心劇情有沒有問題、主角太白癡、女主角太白癡、黃毛太欠揍，或是視覺上不夠好、角色不夠一致、這個人看起來根本不像爸爸。我懂這些擔心有時候太多餘，因為我不能滿足所有人，但這就是我。兩邊都有壓力，代表我從來都沒有真正休息過。

That said, there are still moments when an idea for a scene or an image comes to mind and I feel genuinely excited about it. The characters, the story, the work itself, I still care about all of it. It's just that my time, energy, and mental bandwidth don't feel like enough to hold down a job and keep developing the game at the same time.

想到一些畫面或是呈現的方式，還是會有股興奮跟衝勁，那些角色、那些劇情，我還是很在乎。只是我的時間、精力跟精神狀況，好像真的不足以同時支撐上班跟開發遊戲。

If this does turn out to be the end, I'm truly sorry to everyone who has supported me along the way. The people I feel worst about are my patrons, past and present. I'm genuinely grateful for everything throughout all of this.

若最終真的不再更新了，真的對各位支持的人很抱歉；其中最對不起的就是我的 patrons，不管是目前的還是曾經的。這段日子有你們的支持，我真的很感激。

Due to how Patreon handles billing pauses, I wasn't able to extend the pause directly and had to cancel and restart it manually, so the pause date now shows as 2026/9/2 (UTC+8). As the date approaches I'll handle it again manually. I'll also be back with an update sometime in September.

由於 Patreon 的機制無法直接延長暫停，我需要手動取消再重新暫停，因此暫停日期顯示為 2026/9/2（UTC+8）。接近 9/2 時我會再手動處理一次。九月多也會再跟大家更新近況。

Ann: Billing Paused for One Month

IMPORTANT

Hello everyone!

大家好！

As mentioned last week, I've already paused billing for one month, from 2026/7/5 to 2026/8/5 (UTC+8). The handover at my current job and the prep work for the new one both took longer than expected, so the update is being pushed from late July to late August. I know it doesn't make up for the wait, but it's the one adjustment I can make.

如上週有提到，我已經暫停一個月的收費，時間為 2026/7/5 至 2026/8/5（UTC+8）。原本工作的交接以及新工作的準備所需時間都超出預期，更新因此從七月底延至八月底。我知道這沒辦法彌補延後帶來的失望，但這是我唯一能做的調整。

Thanks for your patience and continued support.

感謝大家的支持，真的很不好意思讓大家多等。
