Yuhu, Welcome back, Josh!
And yeah, i know what u are talking about, ive been through similar issues in the past. Not that strong, but i know that. During this time you cannot even think about all of this.
To get out, i had to make a strict daily schedule of work, free and rest times. That helped me a lot back then.
Take it easy, your coding tunnel will come back soon enough by itself.

Re: The End of the Dark Days
It is sooo good to finally "see" you again, Josh! I'm saddened by you having to go through this, but then so relieved that you are on the mend and having a healthy plan going forward. Good to have you back!JoshParnell wrote:Wow, feels so nice to finally share it all. Been working on that for weeks
Hope you guys don't think I'm too crazy now

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
Hi Josh, what you have created so far is ** amazing ** and I'm glad you are OK.. I really admire your return and can't underestimate the effort needed to do that. I hope you take as long as is needed to make Limit Theory even more amazing and don't see artificial deadlines. Here's to you enjoying life more and having lots of fun coming up with new ideas and creating!

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
First, when I saw that it was a new topic started by Josh, I tried to find out if that was actually a new Josh's topic, or some old topic I never heard of before resurrected.
Second, when I found that it was actually a new topic from Josh, announcing his return to the forum, I thought that it was my birthday.
Note: Actually, usually no one give me anything on my birthday, so it was only an imaginary comparison.
Third, I got really sad reading why you were absent for so long. (It wasn't actually so long, but when someone go through a difficult situation like yours, just another day are already too many days.) However, everything makes more sense now. No need to apologize, even if I know you will never allow yourself to not do exactly that. You've always been too worried about not letting your people down, which is appreciated. Considering the circumstances, your health has to come first and then everything else.
Welcome back, my friend, and go as slowly as you need it to go. Most of us will remain here during the full process.

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
You still should've posted that you were having problems. Maybe we could've helped? :/

Josh already knows what he should and should not have done; let it be. Don't just complain, it doesn't add anything or help anyone.sproginator wrote:You still should've posted that you were having problems. Maybe we could've helped? :/

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
Fair enough. That was my third draft; the others were too harsh, and would've begun a flame war. So, naturally, I just went with the bottom, somewhat more polite, line.Talvieno wrote:I think it was well-meant.Seryth Nortra wrote:Josh already knows what he should and should not have done; let it be.

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
Welcome back!
This is what I feared (even worse, I just thought of burn-out) and I am so happy that you recognized it and got treated and are going better.
Now please remember as take home lesson for the rest of your life:
Do not ever let your work dominate your life! You work for living, you don't live for working!
Keep a healthy balance!
My best wishes for your full recovery and please do not forget: the trip is the destination, just these years of updates and hanging around are 358.53% worth at least my kickstarter pennies!
(Best news of the day!!!!)

Re: The End of the Dark Days.
Omitted to say this in my previous post :
Big, warm thank you to Josh's family, and to the medical professional(s), who have provided assistance and support in the recuperation of my favourite game developer!
