I'm back
So... it has been a while since I last spoke.
I have posted the full details of my hiatus the Species development blog. I'll provide a shorter version after the link, but I'd recommend reading the full story here:
An update, an explanation and an apology
Keeping it simple: I was suffering from untreated mental illness, which I am now getting treated. Thanks to finding the right medication for me, I have more motivation and energy than I've had in many years and am eagerly throwing myself back into development.
I'm sorry for seemingly abandoning the game. I don't think there was anything I could have done to prevent the hiatus, but I should certainly have communicated my situation better. I have no excuse. I'm sorry.
Species 0.14.0 is on it's way: it will introduce eggs to the game, as well as including a significant overhaul to pregnancy and diet, and a number of notable QoL improvements. And yes, I'm planning to dedicate a good long while to tracking down and eliminating those irregular crashes. The most common ones have already been addressed.
I hope in time, with regular releases and my fair share of hard work, I can regain your trust and help rebuild the wonderful community that formed around this little game.
Gratefully,
Quasar
