Pausing development

· 2 min read
Stefan Prelle

I am developing character generation applications for 9 years now and of those 9 years 5 years for Shadowrun 6. Most of the time, I am the only developer working on the projects and in busy times I spent an average of 2-3 hours per day (more on the weekend) working on stuff. The energy required for that was simply there and kept me going.

Unfortunately that energy is gone. Whenever I would have the time to work on reported issues, I am simply not motivated to do that. It feels more like work instead of a hobby project. I've forced myself to do do minor stuff, but that worked less and less over the last months. I feel the need to step back from all my RPG applications (Commlink is not the only chargen application I am developing) and also social media channels for this topic for a while and also pausing my Patreon. Take some months just to reload my batteries and hopefully return back.

I will keep paying the rent for the website and the issue tracker, which will keep being a place to report stuff, but I won't check what is happening there. I will be reachable via Discord, but ignore my server and others regarding to Shadowrun.
