So, long story short: I got really badly burnt out for a while. Made my usual horrible mistake of worrying about everything I want to do at once rather than actually getting any of it done, until it starts feeling like homework and I am
utterly horrible at doing homework. It fills me with this weird kind of fear that I absolutely have to get as many smaller, unimportant things out of the way as possible before starting it. The other part of it is the other mistake I keep making, which is taking on a project that's bigger than I think it is and then losing my nerve. This is not to say that I've been doing nothing productive at all, and I've had a number of other things to deal with that keep slowing me down, including IRL occurrences, trying to keep on top of the increasing amount of spam posting on the site and getting distracted by political thingies (which I'm becoming increasingly fascinated/obsessed with). I acknowledge that it's entirely my fault this last part is taking so long and I take full responsibility for whatever the result of that is, but that doesn't mean I'm going to cop any lip over something that really I've already sunk a good deal of my personal time into. It's an unfortunate fact that sometimes things simply don't go as smoothly as is desired, and I'm dealing with the full brunt of that now
I'll post a progress update in the dev thread tomorrow, hopefully before you all go to bed. This should at least help give you all an idea of the scope of the actual changes and additions that still need doing. Otherwise I'm not setting myself any more dates because that's a guaranteed way of making sure I don't get anything done.
