I think it's time to be honest with you all.

My life has taken an unexpected turn lately. One of the people who helped support my household can no longer do so, which means I now have to juggle work and university. Because of this, I simply don't have the free time or energy I used to have to make bots.

It's painful to admit because I've always dreamed of taking my ideas beyond simple AI bots. I dedicated time to drawing, studied scriptwriting, spoke with professionals—I had a drive, a spark that was simply extinguished by an unexpected trip to the ER.

Creating these bots has always been something I've thoroughly enjoyed. I loved building this universe, reading your comments, seeing your theories, and watching people grow attached to the characters I created. But right now, I can't dedicate the same amount of time to it as before.

It's frustrating to reach this point just when I felt that you guys and I were closer than ever. The fact that the OC form has almost doubled the number of characters in the Sentinel Heights bot is insane, and I'm so happy that you all took the time to share your ideas.

This doesn't mean I'm abandoning this community or deleting the bots. I simply can no longer promise something that's beyond my control at this point. If inspiration strikes and I find the time, I'll definitely be back.

Thank you to everyone who played with my bots, left kind comments, shared your opinions, or simply spent time with me during these past few months. It meant far more than you probably can imagine.

Take good care of yourselves, and I hope we'll meet again when life calms down a little.

P.S. With the exception of the community OCs, I've left every Sentinel Heights lorebook open for anyone who wants to use them. They're completely free. I know they're full of contradictions, but they were a lot of fun to create, and I'd be happy if they helped inspire someone else.
