Project X: Important, please read
7 years ago
General
As all of you know, I was in this long adventure during a lot of years making this silly and crazy game, but my mind and my body is asking me to stop it already. I made a lot of friends and meet a lot of nice people, and made some enemies too. xD All in all it was a good experience for me, but things are starting to be too heavy for my shoulders from some time already, and as usual, I wanna say a couple of things and clarify some others talking as myself, not as the whole Team:
1.- I'm not going to work on PX for now on. Why? because is damaging me, it gives me a lot of stress, I have to suffer attacks from trolls and kiddos, who are insulting me non stop, leaving shitty comments on my YT videos and reporting them when YT is full of videos of the game and they are there for years and years, I upload one video, and it gets deleted in one month, nicey. I know that I have a lot of supporters and people who love the game, but sadly, the toxic people are always a lot more louder, and that ends affecting your morale. The game don't report me any satisfaction or profit, it just give me bad stuff, no matters the effort I do on it, or the explanations I give to the people.
2.- I wanna talk about the donations. Ohh... what a controversial topic, isn't? Let me tell all of you, because it seems this still isn't clear for some people, that the donations are like a Tip Jar, you like it? you put some money on it, like a monkey who dances in the street at the song of his owner for some coins. The donations not are to force us to keep working on the game, they are to motivate us, and to make us work harder. Let me tell you all where those money goes, it goes to make people a bit more happy, yup yup.
I used those donations to buy a second hand Ps Vita to NeoEclipse, and send it to him, I also used it to buy a N2DS with Pokemon to NoPen and send it to her, because in their countries the price of them are prohibitive, and they can't afford them. The only time I got some money of the donations for myself, was when I started the reward campaign because I needed a new graphic card, the rest of the money, was shared between all the spriters and Team, to get them some Steam games, and pay the hosting of the forum, even I put myself money from my pocket to buy games for some members. What I want to tell with all of this? easy, just that I don't need the money myself, I have a job, and I just use extra money to buy silly stuff and games, PX never was made with the intention to be lucrative, so, if you donated, don't feel bad, you put a big smile in someone who needed it, you're not filling my pockets.
3.- To the people who was always desperate because we are slow, and joke about that the game will be released in the 3000, well, you people don't see that each time, we make the sprites better, we animate them better, and fans gets more demanding and needy each time, pinpoint always the bad animations or the ones who had less work on them for one or another reason, and you don't take in mind that some people who work with us are new, and are learning, but people don't mind that and directly say that the anim is a shit, hurting the feelings of those who are just here to help, how would all of you feel? When I do a release, practically none of the fans say how good some anims are, they quickly begins to remark the bad stuff on it, and that's disheartening, and it lowers my morale a lot, personally. To end with this, my spriters and people in the team are all volunteers, and as you can assume, I can't press and rush volunteers to work harder and faster, or get angry with them if they can't reach the timeline, or people getting angry with me, because I'm not working the whole time on the game, like if I couldn't have a rest or my own fun. Well, that's not gonna happen anymore. ALSO, DONATIONS ARE CLOSED, don't donate for the game anymore, if you do it, I will keep myself with it and rent bitches.
4.- The next release will be the last one for now, until I want to continue with it one day, but all of you will have to wait a loooooooong time until something new appears after this next release. Btw I have been criticized and insulted too just for saying that the next release will be when the spriters finish the anims and while that I don't have anything to do. hahah is... kinda funny actually, no matters what, I'm the devil.
5.- The Forum, and the Discord Server, will be managed by Miles, and up until he wants.
So, all in all, trolls and toxic people finally got my head, let's party, anyways, I have to give thanks to them, now I'm free, and I'm gonna play and lay lots. :P
Have a good day,

Well, I wish you luck in any future projects you work on, and hope you come back to finish this one someday. Was a hell of a fun game, and I'm sad to see it die.
Team Statement on The Zeta Team Forums
Still, thank you for your work and the dedication.
Whether you guys continue the project or not, I wish you all the best of luck and admire all the effort put into Project X. Thank you.
Anyways I hope you have a good break & recharge bateries
That being sad I thin kgiving up on the project doesn't really do anything except give the "trolls and toxic people" credit and hurt fans who have stuck with you throughout the years :v
Well, it was a fun ride. I kinda wish you didn’t feel like leaving, even if it’s a very small chance of being temporary, but I understand why...the toxic side of any fandom gets...really bad to put it lightly. I hope things get better for you, *hug*
I just hope that things will only get better for you from here on out and all of your hard work on the game was incredible. If by some chance you'd decide to work on it again, I for one would welcome you with open arms.
Just sad that people put you through so much pain, i hope you get better soon once you put this aside.
Take care and thank you for all the hard work. =3
I feel very sorry about this. You are a very powerful game producer. I really like the interactions and actions of those characters and the animations and stories. I like your work and even I think this can be used as an online game. XDD hopes you can It's a great person to cheer up and your ideas are good. I'm very willing to spend money and help them!
Hiciste una obra maestra, lamento mucho oír cómo unos niñatos han arruinado un proyecto que para los fans brillaba con luz propia.
Ojalá que llegue el día en que, con tu salud ya recuperada, que es lo prioritario, te veas con nuevas fuerzas para retomar o empezar de nuevo.
Si hay algo en lo que te pudiera ayudar, siempre estaré encantado de escucharte.
Saludos desde Valencia, España.
Ah well. Your work has gotten me off *several* times. If this is the end of the ride, then I thank you for a great one.
Really love the game, so I'm just glad it was made in the first place. I also hope the game is a source of joy or pleasure for you as well. Not working on it anymore may be a good decision, the important thing is for you to relax and be happy with what you're doing.
As a fan, of course, I do hope you come back to it, or at least continue working on things like your art and such because I love your work. Always excited to see things from you, so hoping that trend continues.
Like I said above, hope you are able to relax and feel happier. Love ya Zeta
