Hello all,
Well,... there's no easy way to say this, so I'll just go out and say it...
For reasons I'd rather not talk about, I've decided to quit development of
CameliaGirls effective immediately. And although I'm speaking only for myself, chances are that Haya won't continue development on this either (certainly not from a coding standpoint).
Since the source, art, scripts and all other goodies are fully open, the project can't be considered truly dead and anyone can use all that we've built in however way you'd like. I'm also willing to provide free assistance or training in case you want to continue this on your own or build your own visual novel. But other than that, it's a safe bet that MY development branch is a dead-end, so feel free to discontinue, dewatch or devest yourself of this as you feel necessary.
As far as parting words of wisdom are concerned... all I can say is beware of being too emotionally vested in a project. Consider it a double-edged sword: it made the first few months of development luscious sweetness and these last few months a grinding decay.
In any event, this is as graceful a goodbye as I can muster. I'll still be around in DA, but I will switch gears to something a little more casual -- my goal is to spend less time online and even more time enjoying real life pursuits. and I encourage y'all to do the same if possible.

Farewell, and thank you all for your help and support! ^^
