@the dev, if you want me to shut up and delete my comments, i will

"development hell" is a term that is used when a project has been delayed indefinitely because of internal factors like a lack of competency, people not being paid, conflicting concepts that have not been resolved, high stress work environments, bad leadership/management, etc.

a single dev not updating their freeware on itch.io after a year or however long is not 'development hell.' it's just life.

speaking as a creative writer and a coder, there are few things more irritating than someone blowing up your account, DMs, inbox, comments, whatever repeatedly asking for updates when you don't owe them anything. of course it's lovely that you like a person's project, but projecting your disappointment at their speed in creating it is the worst, most entitled way you can express that. your sadness is irrelevant to my comment and from the way you've described it, asking for updates over and over, it sounds like you've been pestering this dev for a while.

as for behaving: i speak bluntly. you don't have to like that.

thank you all, yes the comment was painful because I have been through so many changes in my life and also I'm learning everyday, I have family, life to live like a normal person and I'm working on the project to add [ pixel Editor and animation player ] when I have gone through this I realized that there's still so much to learn to be able to do it at least correctly, the code to draw ellipse can drive anyone crazy and am not that type who will copy and paste code without understanding it, Currently I'm learning C++ alongside with Godot to be able to learn programming correctly to improve my skills, I'm not sad and also you may think for a while [ don't I need money to keep going on this all ? at least to buy myself a better pc and graphics card ? to pay for bills and to hangout like normal persons ? ] surely I do and I'm not going to give up on my dreams, all I have done here is to pack you some sprites that you can have in your game but it's so limited, and all was done in one script so it was so hard to be extended, I'm starting it from the ground and I need to learn more to be proud of myself, thank you all, yes I'm late and I could just have added some more sprites and release the app and you will be happy with it ! but I'm not that type of persons, I want to make you able to [ import - edit - create animations and sprites inside the app - import palettes and to have an extension to the sprite files and also to have online updates ] to do all of that I have to manage how ! and to manage how I should learn more and more everyday, read and create more contents over time whenever the projects needs it ! It's not that easy to connect everything together with only knowledge of Godot 2d and control nodes, I need to learn advanced language like C++ to be able to improve my programming skills ! I'm building it from ground and currently I'm on the half of the way, please be patient the same way I'm patient on this to create an App that can be extended using a game engine, thank you :)

I'm sorry if I said anything that hurt you! Looks like it got the other way around, I just wanted to say you can't keep up with it, and it's OK, I'm sad we don't get the update, thinking you stuck with it, and hope you have better luck, with your next project. I meant no harm in any way, just basically you, it's fine to fail sometimes, as you can get up, and walk towards. That's all, and nothing else. i get over it, remade everything woth other 2D character creator and called it a day. I was frustrated? Definitelly. I was angry or meant to hurt you? No, as I quitted a project myself over reasons you listed above so I can understand. So once again sorry, if I misunderstood the signs, happy if you didn't give up like me, and keep it up!

It's fine, I try to stay calm as much as I can to be able to understand what I see it hard, sometimes you need to think for hours to manage things that may stop you for days, now I'm a different person and I have who help me to understand what's hard, I ask for help sometimes in forums and they save me much time, your Ego may be your only enemy when you think you have learnt enough so you try to manage everything by yourself until you give up, but for me I give up on everything now except mediation, praying, helping others, asking for help and studying, I feed my mind before my tummy, I care for knowledge and I ask for it. stay calm brother and be patient on yourself and me.
The day I will get better I will make videos and share the things that was hard for me and blocked my way to make it easier for others. they won't benefit me if I die keeping them for myself.
