Devastated exit stage left

[PaRa$iTe]

I was wondering how to start this topic. But oh well, I doubt the format is important, and I guess there's no need to try to act all professional

when I'm being a drama queen by posting a topic like this at all. Anyhoo, getting to the point..

 

I hereby announce my quitting of Subspace. There, I've said it. The reasons for this are mostly vague, although a main one would be me

accidentally deleting most of my development files - hundreds of hours of work, if not more. I'm simply too tired to create it all anew,

and since during the last few years random development work has been such a large part of my enjoyment of the game, I just feel I've lost a large

part of the game.

 

Anyway, for those who think I should stay - I'm sorry to disappoint you like this. I know that a lot of people would like to, and probably will, tell me that I can just pop in to enjoy the game and ignore all that extra work (possible almost as many as will tell me to "stfu it's just a game"). I guess I could, but it's just not that appealing to me right now. Continuum hasn't, to me, been something to "just play" in a long time now - it's been a major investment. Perhaps even too big; it won't be hard to find use for the 5-10 or so hours I put into this game each week. At any rate, by the time you read this, I will most probably have uninstalled the game.

 

It's kind of funny how this feels like an awfully big step to me, even though it, frankly, IS just a game. But so it may be - I wouldn't be myself if

I didn't feel slightly sentimental leaving something behind that I've spent thousands of hours on. I'm fairly sure I'll regret the decision in the near future, and you'll all make fun of me when I come back crying about how I miss everyone.

 

On that topic - thanks for all these years, it's been great. The game might be fun, but while I came for the gameplay, I stayed for the community. And if I purely look at time spent doing stuff with people, I'm sure there are many of you who'd rank higher than most of the people I know in real life. Which is kinda sad But still - I don't feel those hours were wasted. And sad as it may be, I do feel that I have grown as a person playing this 2d spaceship game. If nothing else, I've gotten plenty of examples on how not to act.. so yeah. Thanks I'd put personal greetings here, but since that would include half the zone, I'd just forget someone and feel bad about it afterwards and in any case, I'm sure that those of you who'd

I'd consider "online friends" - if such a term means anything - know who you are, and if you feel I didn't show it clearly enough ingame, I'm sorry -

 

I'd put some witty ending remark here, if I were witty enough. But I'm not, so I guess I'll come up with something else. Which I don't, but oh well. At least I got my BD2 bases finished and uploaded before everything was deleted. I hope at some point they'll be of use

 

 

 

Well, I guess that's all. I suppose I'll quit the game in-character - most of you might not recognize the speech pattern, since it's specific to my

"main" name on Continuum, but nostalgia demands it.

TL;DR:

PM me your alias.

 

Seriously though, good luck with your future endeavors and if you ever change your mind, we'll still be here. Also I've known some people on this game longer than most people I know irl, so it's not silly at all to label them as friends.
