Hi all,
I'm just letting everyone know that I'll be taking a break from programming for a short while to work on another project which is very important to me. :)   I'll pick up the programming again once I'm finished.  B)

No hurry, and sometimes one needs to take a break from something instead of doing just oen thing all the time.

Well, I can't pretend I've kept up with your work with this game thing, but I'm sure you've worked very hard so far.  A break is always welcome. :yes

No problem. :)
It's important to take breaks now and then. Or you might lose interest.

Especially since some of the other work has to "catch" up with the programming anyway, isn't it?

We will all need to catch up with each other sooner or later, for sure. :)

The project won't be at a complete halt while I take this break, for sure!

Don't feel bad, one does have to prioritize, and you may be glad you took the break once you get back to the project in the weeks, months, or years after your break.   :yes

For anyone who read the "cancelled until further notice" post, just disregard that. B)
I'll pull out the programming shortly.  Just working on something for a little bit longer. :)

Glad you are feeling better.  Hopefully you have at least 1 person you can talk to about everything.

You could be spreading yourself too thin.  If you can't get things done in a timely manner than perhaps you could tackle less things simultaneously.  Ya know, just do what you think is most important first and then do the stuff that's less important to you later.  That's what I've decided to do.  Sure things get done a little more slowly, but instead of getting large bursts of projects done at the same time, you could make a new project every now and then, making your life easier and the time between projects relatively consistent.

Makes sense in theory, but some of these projects I have/had in mind weren't exactly planned long-term. :p They just kinda happened. :p

This LBT game is one of the few I've had in mind for quite awhile.
