Depressed, but I hold onto hope.

So I've been plugging away steadily at this project ( at this rate, it will surpass the 7 hour mark ), but I'm beginning to wonder if my effort will be worth it all in the end. Responses to the updated demo have been dishearteningly slow ( no complaints, people have lives, after all ), but it creates a rather.. negative impact. On me, at least.
It makes me wonder if all the tweaks that I've done for this new version has been all for naught... I've sunk over 1500 hours into this thing since November 2010. I only hope the full version of this game will be damn well worth that effort. Otherwise, I'm cancelling the whole thing. Because it also influences my drive to work on the game. But I'm also going through a bit of a depressive phase. Sometimes, I feel like just deleting this game page and asking the admins over at RMW to lock Enelysion's thread. But as long as players out there are enjoying the game as it stands... that will keep me from cancelling the project
all together. I will hold on to that. And I want to leave my mark. Everyone who makes a game in RPGMaker wants to leave their mark somehow...
Anyway, screens:
Wonderful, I'm the only one left... His expression says it all. Once again, Ronove, you did a wonderful job with them.
Uppity Redhead meets Knight in Sour Armour. Might change that Garuda graphic and make a custom graphic of my own.
Don't expect a lot of puzzle design dungeons.
Sorry if this post came off as dead-depressive and maybe even a bit selfish. But I'm not like. Trust me. I'm not a glory hound.

CloseI strongly advise you NOT to give up on this game. It seems like something you put a lot of blood sweat and tears into. Just dumping it might be something you would regret down the road.
That being said, don't burn yourself out. Take a b break if you need to do so!
Also
I hope this cheers you up!

Please, don't do it!
If the response to the other thread regarding testing proved something, is that, we are quite a few people out there who are interested in helping you see this through. Doubts are only natural, but it's a risk that comes with the territory. Giving up on this would only defeat your desire of leaving your mark. As Oblic said, take your time ... keep holding on.

Are you talking about the new version youre wanting testers for? I have seen a lot of people, myself included who want to be testers, so what response are you talking about? In fact once again I want to be a tester for this game! I like the first version and it can only get beeter.
I wouldn't give up on this project yet, but your own health and well-being should come first. If you decided you need to seek therapy and meds, you may find later on that you really do want to finish this project! Depression is sneaky, and influences your decisions more than you'd think.

2-3 years and 10,000+ downloads from now, you'll look back and wonder why you made this blog post.

Don't go against this project, yuna! I know I promised to play this game, but I've been busy scripting for my own projects, and I honestly just lost time. I'll try playing it today.
Nooooo!! Don't drop the project, not when you're so close 
People might just have been busy the past time, I mean your game is easily one of the most popular games on RM.web, it has 18 pages and you have over 100 subscribers on here! I for one can say I enjoyed your demo a lot and I'm eagerly anticipating the full game! Things might seem a bit slow right now, but I'm sure as soon as you release the first chapter, you'll get more feedback and responses, and I'm 100% sure that it'll become a featured game too! ;)
I was in a similar situation as pyrofiend, except it's more of spriting for a game and participating in the forum fairly actively. I also plan to play your game, I'd be so sad if you trashed it!
Thanks guys. Your words do much to make me feel better. Guess I'll jump right in and finish this thing before depression gets the better of me and does all the talking.

You'd regret it so, so, so much if you gave up on your game. Trust me on that. Also, as someone else mentioned, your game has the kind of attention and fanbase that 99% of other RM creators dream of having. It'd be a shame to throw that all away.
I think the last demo you released didn't get the kind of response you wanted because it seemed to be the same demo you released last time but with some tweaks. I know that I didn't end up playing through it because I had already seen much of the storyline already, and I think fans of Enelysion just want to see what happens next in the story. I know I've played through Enelysion's current story at least two times, and I only really want to play through it again once there is a lot more new stuff to go through. Which is why I'm really looking forward to being a beta-tester for the full game. :)

I would love to beta-test this one also when you finally need them. I understand being depressed, it is an almost daily thing for me with the problems I have. but I am so happy when I follow something to the end. keep up the good work and thingz will work out in the end.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.
