Hey Guys!

Posted by Hyptosis - March 11th, 2014


Hey guys, some of you might have seen my 'taking a break' post a little while back, here -- http://hyptosis.newgrounds.com/news/post/882833

That is still on, I just got back from some training and have had a week to relax, in several days I'll be heading out again, and might not be back for THREE months! I won't have internet access of any kind while gone, so if you send me a message and I don't respond, that is why.

I just wanted to say how touched I am at some of the kind messages people have sent me. Really touching stuff I honestly didn't expect. I've taken the time to read every message sent, every blog post, etc, and I've replied when and where I could.

I will come back to making games, and I will provide them free online. I'll use flash as long as Newgrounds is here to host it for me. I just need a break, and I need financial stability. It came to a point to where my games, something I made for fun, was an important part of my income, and that made it not fun anymore. Also, suddenly I was having trouble ignoring the rude comments and hateful feedback, that's a me thing, but there it is. I just need some time away form game making, away from 'reviews,' etc. I'll probably do some comics if I get free time, just... something else. Try to rediscover my inspiration.

Anyway, I'm home for a bit, I'll poke aorund, wanted to say hi. I'll be gone a long time this next time I go, but if I get any time off, or find a place that has internet, I'll be sure to swing by and see what is up here at NG. You guys rock.

Now I'm gonna go get some much needed sleep, lol.

Can't wait to have you back.

haha, thanks dude ^_^ I see you've been pumping out new arts!

Will you be under a communications sequester, or are you going so far out into wild, you won't have anything internet? They make satellite dishes that get the internet, terrible latency tho.

I don't think you were specific in your last post about the new job... almost sounds like something Stephen King's Low Men would arrange, sending you to another world to harness your insane abilities!

Haha, well, I promise my new job isn't anywhere as interesting as that.

As long as you come back you take as long as a break as you want.

Thanks! Stay cool man. ^_^

Enjoy the downtime, it will probably have a huge impact on your future creative work! I really gotta try a month away from computers one of these days.

Thanks Tom, I hope so. I'll probably have a break down on week 2 away from my computer. :P

I hope I never make games or anything creative for money.. That's the only way to have financial stability and inspiration constantly.

Yeah, I suggest not linking income and your creative endeavors.

3 months without internet access?! I don't think I could last a week...
anyway, good luck. enjoy your break, you deserve it!

Thanks!

Psyched to see a few more game releases in the future! Hope the time off from it does you the world of good :D

Thanks man!

Comeback hype!!!

Will do, Captain!

its ok, welcome back!
i missed you, and i like yoru art.
have a rest, relax, and have fun! good luck with yo stuff! u rock

Thanks man! :D

heyyy steve oh...what wrong comment area...(Just watch all bowser's kingdom) any hey cool i...FART

Had my worries we lost a great artiest and game designer. GREAT TO SEE YEA BACK HYPTOSIS!

Thanks! :D

Can't wait till you start making games again. Hope to see you back soon. Take care while your gone. If you get some time maybe you could pop back and say hi. We'll miss you and your amazing games/art.

I will if I have a chance, don't worry about that. ^_^

Solider is each

Hip hip, huzzah! Hip hip, huzzah!

You should leave your virtual coffee can out for donations though; future production money, or paying for the electric already used.. either or.

When you get back to possibly making more of your virtual worlds, look at the ad-rev and money made in your absence, try to look at things more objectively. Keep aiming for gaming (or illustrated writings) gold! Might be interesting to see a DVD of all your games for PC/Game Consoles...

So glad to hear it. It does brighten my day a little when I see something new from you. Also don't pay too much attention to the haters... Never forget that what you do is something that a lot of other people can't/don't know how to!

^_^ Your art is very enjoyable to see! I'm glad you can take a break, doing the same thing for too long isn't good for the creative brain, even if it is making fantastic artsy story games. Money is definitely an issue for just about everyone and tends to set us back on things we'd rather be doing :/ But that's modern life I guess. You should totally go camping with your family and hike, get some nature in your lungs!

Im glad you saw that there are still people who enjoy your art and that you find strenght in such. I find your games amazing and wish you the best. May more great games come from your hand.

I discovered how atmospheric a flash game can be with your games (I played Hood first and I was completely absorbed by the environment and story) and it was a bit sad to see you won't be making games any more, as I've yet to find any online game as compelling as yours. So it's good to hear you won't be giving up games forever. :)

I'm crazy stoked that you are planning to come back to making games. I fell in love with your games! I really enjoyed the sagittarian and alice is dead (a f*cking point + click classic). I would love to see more games like those. Don't listen to the nay-sayers and haters, people hate on amazing things everyday.

It will be quite the suspenseful summer hoping for your return and new releases... Have a safe trip and find some hauntingly beautiful inspirations for your hauntingly beautiful and such well-crafted games.
