Tonight I guess I realized something that I've known for awhile, but I've never really wanted to accept...and that is, working on stuff for Freespace is no longer fun. In fact, it's worse than if I didn't have to worry about the projects I'm in. Currently there are three- SCP, Ferrium, and a bit of voice acting for the 158th. But, well, none of them I've really wanted to work on and have felt bad about not getting any work done. The 158th I said I'd be done weeks ago, I've got a multitude of half-completed features on the SCP, and in Ferrium the bare bones of the sound API are completed. Yet when I start work on any of them, I find it's become a chore, more like a job I'm doing but not getting paid for. And honestly, I just need to move on in life, because my current situation isn't working out for me. I don't know what I'm going to do, but whatever it is, I'll never get it done while I'm still tied to keeping up and working on Freespace.

So, long story short...don't expect any further progress on my stuff in the SCP, Ferrium, mediaVP, or the 158th. For now I'm turning the mediaVP over to Inquisitor, who can give responsibility for it to whoever he wants.
If anyone has questions or whatever about something, they should e-mail me and/or ICQ me - (put 'wmcnospam' at the start of the subject so my junk mail filter doesn't catch it). I probably won't be around the forums too much...

Anyway...it's been a pleasure working with everyone and I hope you guys keep up the work. Sorry to leave you holding the ball.

well...yeah. that's always how it feels, until you see and play the finished result. all the work i do feels like a chore except for at the very beginning, and the very end. that's just how it is.

I know the feeling

No point doing something if you're not enjoying it or getting paid.

Perhaps you've lost sight of the real reason your here, or perhaps that reason no longer exists.

That I can understand . Well I wish you Good Luck to your endeavours

COme back and visit sometime.

[Galemp]

Aye... but perhaps you may return. Go out and enjoy life for a while. If you want to come back, we'll still be here.

[Singh]

Sorry to see you go dude - you did some excellent stuff here, especially with the .vps and what-not for the SCP.

But if you're not happy, all I can say is good luck in the outside world - should it ever become too difficult out there, we'll always be here.

meh, don't get all dramatic, I got through this sort of thing all the time, just take a few months off, don't make any declorations or anything, just stop working for a while untill you feel like doing something again, that's what I always do, and most people don't even notice.

[Styxx]

Don't worry, when you realize that doing other stuff is even less fun, we'll still be here.

[Shinobi]

BWO just around the corner and he's 'leaving' I agree with Bob.

[karajorma]

Sorry to see you WMCoolmon but I'll probably still be here when you come back. No one escapes the call of freespace for long

[pyro-manic]

Good luck - have fun!

[Flipside]

Good Luck WM, if it helps any, I haven't touched Lightwave for around a month now, I decided to get some music etc done instead, sometimes a change is as good as a rest

[Gloriano]

Good luck:), but you will come back some point

Something else is quite around the corner as well. Or so I would assume at this point.

so what is the real reason he's here?  to do work he doesn't enjoy doing, without getting paid?
