TLDR; I won’t be continuing Cursed Harvest as it stands. In the future I may return to it in a different form, but I’ve come to terms that a long form comic is not the most effective or fulfilling medium for me to tell a story.

Starting the comic was a large undertaking and I didn’t know the amount of burnout that would come with it. Despite taking time away, I haven’t found the excitement or drive to continue.
I feel really guilty for discontinuing it, but I would hate it more to give you all something half hearted and rushed just to get it to the end.

Especially because comics take an immense amount of time to pull together. I feel like the amount of time put into the comic gives diminishing returns with what I have to show for it. (This isn’t to say that’s how I feel about all comics, only in tandem with my capabilities).

What I would like to do is take that time and put it towards newer skills and more interactive projects - with a hopefully better yield.

Working on Spooky Sweets was largely inspiring. I enjoyed getting to take on more diverse tasks to build the game, and it being something you all could interact with was incredibly fulfilling.

I want more projects like that under my belt. Whether it’s small games, like Spooky Sweets, or turning stories into visual novels with some amount of choice baked in.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to complete the comic, but I appreciate everyone’s support up until this point. I wholeheartedly believe what I have on the horizon will be worth this change, and soon I'll have something to show.

COOL BREASE

I think this is perfectly fine! You tried it out, and even if it didn't work out how you hoped, you learned from it and you're continuing to develop as an artist :) Very happy to continue supporting you and see what the future holds!

Genuinely glad you're doing what you need to for your own fulfillment rather than forcing a project that's taking more from you than it's giving. As a plus, if there are more things like spooky sweets, then I'm excited for whatever creative endeavor you pursue next!
