Pokémon Rebirth

Hello trainers! I’m SSamurai, the creator of Pokémon Unbreakable Ties. As you may have noticed, I’ve been inactive on social media for a while now, including on the Discord server. For 4 years of development, I worked on this project every single day, until after a series of events that led to a diagnosed depression, I realized I couldn’t keep living in the same obsessive loop. Even when I was doing badly, I kept forcing myself to continue working and trying to solve a personal issue that no longer made sense. Friends and family kept telling me to step away from what was hurting me. The environment I had created through mistakes in my personal life related to the project, combined with the self-imposed pressure to create something huge was consuming me more and more, until I eventually hit rock bottom. I wouldn’t feel the need to explain my absence if I didn’t know that some of you care not only about the game and the community I built (which I love deeply), but also genuinely about me as a person. That’s why I’m leaving this message. However, I need to learn how to separate my personal and professional life, so I won’t be speaking about this topic or anything related to the past never again. Regarding Unbreakable Ties, I want to be very clear: I can’t give a real release date for Beta 5, and I’m honestly tired of giving dates I can’t guarantee. These past few months, I’ve focused on disconnecting. I forced myself to step away for a while, dedicate time to organizing my life. Since the beginning of this game, I had never truly taken a break. Development progress will continue from now on. Thank you all for the support messages I’ve received during this time, and welcome to all the newcomers from both Twitter and the Discord community! ❤
