This project was never about me making any substantial amount of money (I have not made a single dime on this project – all monies received have gone towards development, profit share, or loan repayment) and I don’t expect that to change. The second part is this: I have taken out some small loans to fund AotSS.

So I take full responsibility for not explaining things sooner, and I’m sorry for that. However, since I let it get to this huge thing in my mind, it became harder and harder to respond. In this case, all I would have had to do is post a blog saying that I was taking a month or two off and I’m sure most people who understand the development situation would understand. One thing that I’ve always struggled with, even professionally, is taking relatively small issues and letting them spiral because I have an unreasonable fear of the results. Since then, I’ve been refreshed and gotten the nice break that I needed, but of course I could have been more forthright about where I’ve been. And I think that finally caught up to me. So I’ve worked around the gaps in my life that don’t involve family, other social events/duties, and work. I am not in a position to make KatHawk Studios a full-time proposition (for now, anyway) so I’m caught in the position of assuming 100% development responsibility for a project that I can’t devote 8 hours a day to. The smallest I can think of that make games that people who would play AotSS would be Zero Sum Games (one person StarDrive series) and Arcen Games (two people AI War, The Last Federation, etc) but even they do it full-time as their main job.
Even the smallest indie studios that release commercial-quality games typically have 4-8 people working full-time.

In that time, I’ve had some artistic and game design support, most notably by Oliver, but for anything to actually be done in the game, I had to code and implement it.
You have to understand that I’ve been working on Imperia/AotSS more or less by myself (from a coding standpoint, anyway) for almost 4 years. And I realized something at that point – I was burned out on the game. Now, I almost dreaded going to the computer. In the past, I’d stay up until 2-3 AM working on something (I’m a night person) and not think twice about it. By then it was June and when I finally had some time to restart development, I realized that I wasn’t looking forward to it like I always had. When I got back, I had some issues that I had to take care of from a family standpoint – nothing major, but necessary. It started a few months ago with a 2-week trip out of the state for work, and I didn’t have a chance to do anything with the game at that time. So that’s all well and good, you say, but where have you been? Good question. There will be some other tweaks, including more planets, an easier font typeface for some parts of the UI, the completion of the financial main screen, etc. Hey everyone – been a while, right? So I’ll get to the good news right off the bat: I’ve been working on the game for a little while and have started on 3 key features: pops opinion feedback (in other words, why is my stability dropping on a planet?), the character/House AI, and the save/load system! Those are my 3 huge priorities before I call.
