Raven, I respect your choice to bow out. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we would still appreciate your presence and some commentary, but if you feel that your experience with Undertale is not worth the time invested, don't do it for our sakes.
The thread above this comment makes me think that the team needs to just sit down and have a big talk about what direction we want to go in. If we want to continue playing games together, then we have to make a solid decision about the kinds of games we want to experience together. Genres, themes, so on and so forth. If it happens that we just have to lie dormant for a while, or do things in different groups, then I think we have to decide pretty soon.
I propose we sit down in IRC some evening this week or next and really figure out what our goals are as a team now that our main project is done. I feel a little pressured now that we have a surprisingly large number of fans. I feel as if we have to do something on a fairly regular basis for the people who enjoy our work. If I am responsible for our public face, and if I have taken on some leadership roles, I have to know what our boundaries are. I need to know that I am doing okay and not, in fact, dragging people into something they don't want to do.
There are a lot of games out there, and to have 5 different people agree on what to play is just like ordering toppings on pizza. It's even worse if it's a mostly blind experience. We also need to figure out what we are doing next week, which is our next clear Saturday - How are we running the good ending's play, how long might that take, and will we do one (or both?) of the manga readings? What will we do *next* after Undertale?
