The creator shares that they took a month-long break due to creative fatigue, feeling uninspired despite enjoying the game content they cover, and admits their enthusiasm for making videos hasn’t returned. They express gratitude to their supporters, mention exploring new passions like sailing, and suggest that while they may produce occasional future content, their focus is shifting away from regular video creation.
The creator explains that they recently took a month-long break from making videos, primarily because they were feeling uninspired. Despite the game they cover being in a good state with exciting new content, their lack of motivation stemmed from a creative fatigue. They emphasize that their disinterest was not with the game itself but with the creative process of video production, which they usually find compelling and driven by a sense of obligation to tell stories.
After several weeks away, the creator admits that their enthusiasm for making videos has not returned. They mention that they have other channels and creative projects, including a new hobby of sailing. They are considering shifting their focus toward creating sailing videos, especially as they upgrade to larger boats and undertake longer adventures. They express uncertainty about their return to regular content creation but assure viewers that this is not a permanent goodbye.
The creator reflects on their long history of content creation, having produced over 700 videos across six years for Star Citizen and two years for Elite. They acknowledge that creative drives and ambitions can change over time, and they feel it might be time to explore different passions. They clarify that the channel will remain active in some capacity, with occasional videos in the future, but not enough to justify ongoing patron support, which they have paused since February.
Expressing gratitude, the creator thanks their supporters for the incredible journey and the support they’ve received throughout the years. They feel privileged to have shared their adventures and stories with their community and appreciate all the encouragement along the way. They emphasize that their decision to take a break is not permanent and that they hope to return someday, possibly with new content or even real-life sailing adventures.
In closing, the creator mentions that there will be a few more videos from their backlog, so their break isn’t immediate or final. They thank everyone for sticking around and supporting them and wish their viewers an enjoyable summer. They hint at the possibility of future appearances, whether through videos or real-world adventures on boats, and express hope to reconnect with their audience again in the future.
