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。
