Devilution: Heal Depression

Tongue-in-cheek or not, I read your bullet about depression fueling some portion of this work, and I just wanted to reach out and say I hope you're doing alright.

At first I didn't know how to reply to this. The fact everything kicked off so quickly, and someone actually read things down to the last line was surprising.

It's like being lost for a long time, imprisoned by a fantasy that can never be true. But then, the clouds turn black and skies of violet purge the air. Reality is left behind, it only brought chaos and misanthropy. No longer does it have to be a distant dream, for the peace of true existence is only beginning.

...and so is the Devilution! It's great that some of you have found this work useful, and it will continue to improve over time. Your words are much appreciated. I'll leave this open until Devilution has achieved its' initial purpose. (thinking quite awhile, can't invest as much anymore :stuck_out_tongue: )

I'm a big fan of this game and a "free-as-in-freedom" code enthusiast and came here to see the awesomeness happening through your work, but noticing you're fighting depression makes me sad.

Dude, you're my hero and a hero for a lot of people like me. I don't know what kind of shit you're against, but I hope you defeat it :heart:

This project is fantastic work! I've struggled with some of the same, and I can promise it gets better and worse in waves. You will feel better.

Reach out if I can help in any way :)

A nugget of life wisdom

time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

I hope you enjoyed the four months spent on this, because the result is marvellous.

The amount of determination and intelligence needed to pull off this project is exceptional. I hope you're able to see how inspirational & smile-inducing your work is.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Love,

Dude, you have become a hero for so many people in the last few days, me included. I know that with depression "cheering up" sometimes doesn't help or even worsen things up (by increasing pressure and stuff). But for when or if it does help you, here's my piece of it, because I can't hold my excitement: you rock!! Don't let anyone - or yourself - tell you otherwise. What you did was awesome, epic, I dare to say historic (it's at the very least a landmark on the Diablo game history, since you have rewritten and unleashed it's engine into the world, opening an exciting range of possibilities for everyone)... I hope great things come to you from doing this work, you deserve it <3

I worked on BWAPI during my 10 years of chronic depression. Free of it now. Feel free to ping me.

@galaxyhaxz sorry it took so long for me to arrive. I'm here now and that's why you are clearly happier. ;D

Fixed as of August 2018 =)
