mostly I'm thinking. "why am I burning myself out for this? this is supposed to be fun." and pushing to release it around october woul be at the expense of my mental health and also the game would lack polish and I'd regret releasing it so early. I am also eyeing other things I'd rather be working on right now

the "message in a bottle" system I can't recommend enough, where, if I'm at risk of dropping a project for an extended period of time, I put a text file on the desktop telling me what needed to be done before I dropped it

once this section of AIA is done I'm gonna take another extended break cause it is not urgent and it increasingly feels like I'm only rushing this one for myself. It'll be done when it's done. if that be 2025, that's fine, cause I would've fit in some other stuff
