Hey all. I've had to stop working on this for a while for personal, work and health reasons. :(  ... ... ... So I'll be back later.
I feel for you. "2020 & 2021" is all that need to be said. Here's to hoping that joy & energy returns to you. You go take care of real life and come back to the hobby later.

Yeah, like, whenever I see people saying things like "why aren't all the mods updated for .95 yet?!?!" my only reply is to gesture broadly. Anyone would be worn down by what's going on right now.

I hope your health and work situation improves, Cycerin! I'm very familiar with what it feels like to have work pressing in on you alongside, well, All This.

Good luck - wishing you all the best! Hope things calm down and improve in all the areas of your life that need it. <3

(It's sure been a couple of years for "external factors"...)

Hey, I'm not a regular in Starsector community, but I've been playing the game since it was called Starfarer. Since 0.95a was released, I have been checking this thread once or twice a week because I have great memories with your mod - it's excellent job. Thank you for all your efforts. I wish you all the best.

Hey all. I've had to stop working on this for a while for personal, work and health reasons. :(

Sorry if this is disappointing news, it is to me as well. But that's life.

It warms to read your kind words and see that people miss the mod. I miss it too in a way, well, not the mod itself but just the feeling of being able to have fun working on it unburdened. I just wanna make some cool spaceships, weapons and sound effects, as I always have. In a way that's why BRDY became such an enduring mod, it was always just easier for me to channel some of that tinkering energy into it rather than start over with what I'd learned and make something with less constraints, even though I have wanted to do that at points.

But I think I've reached a tipping point now where all the old content's flaws bothers me to an extent that I can't just barrel on past it, and well... things required a lot more work than I anticipated. And that's just the piece of the puzzle that has to do with the mod itself. When you add external factors it just became impossible for me to keep going right now.

So I'll be back later.

Take your time, that's all.

Hey Cycerin,

...Look after yourself! Can't say I'm not sad to see BRDY (I pronounce that Brody in my head) go on hiatus but look after yourself. Burnout is tough, best to avoid it at all costs. I've been playing BRDY nearly as long as it's inception and its a staple amongst my used mods; I think it's legacy extends beyond the best of the mods into the very essence of StarSector itself. I really do hope BRDY exists for StarSector come v1.0 but I would much rather you use what energy you have into maintaining your personal and professional life in some seriously trying times. You've worked on BRDY much longer than some devs work on professional games and for that... I'm grateful. Thanks for the awesome grey, green and orange spaceships that I've spent more time playing with than some AAA space games.

Take care!

Ah damn. I've been so busy I hadn't even realized this had happened. Take as long a break as you need, Cyc.

Stay safe, stay happy, and take care of your mental health.

I hope conditions improve, but don't let working on this mod be a source of stress for you - your work's fantastic, and the satisfaction of having enjoyed it in the past is good nuff.

G'luck out there <3

Best of luck in all your endeavors, be they here or anywhere else. Taking a break is a worthy endeavor itself and one that is often overlooked. Be well.

I made a forum account just to say I love Blackrock and it has been my favorite faction mod since I discovered starsector. I've loved the many hours I spent piloting and playing with the ships and look forward to being able to do so again one day.

Thanks for a wonderful mod, wishing you the best of luck in everything you've got going on. Take care!

Still my favorite mod, from the beautiful sprites, the excellent sound effects and music, the innovative and fun ship systems - everything is on such a high level of quality it's insane that this is a free mod, so thank you very much for all your efforts and I hope you will find the time and passion for modding again!
