It has been a week since development came to an end on Advent Heroes, and a matter of days since that decision was made final. Over the course of that time, several things have occurred that have made me question the viability of staying active in the field of game development. First, I only allowed myself a twelve-month timeframe for reasons that cannot be publicly disclosed. That time is now a few weeks past the halfway point. Second, the continuation of the online presence of Zero Break Games would also put me in a position where I would lose the support of those who are close to me (and for the same reasons as mentioned above). Third, continuation of the online presence of Zero Break Games was dependent on the ability to deliver a marketable product, which with the cancelation of Advent Heroes is not likely to occur at this point. Finally, while I have identified a replacement concept that will carry over some aspects from Advent Heroes, the development plan for the new game has faced significant pushback with my testers in relation to the requirements for the broad support that I would prefer to maintain. Furthermore, changing development tools to address this negative reception based on community preference would reduce or completely eliminate my ability to pursue a broad multi-platform release. and using development tools from a different vendor would also be prohibitively expensive - in fact, just this past month I found out that Unity has changed its multiplatform development licensing to require a term contract for a service tier which is prohibitively expensive for what I am willing or able to pay.
