I am glad you are motivated Housemate. I did warn you about the current inactivity, right?
Anyway, I was definately enjoying this as much as you, and I have way more time now than I had when I was more active on the project. Yet, like STM says, you don't gain anything from working on this game, except some pleasure (I don't think spriting is all that boring, but it is still less fun and important than socializing/work/studies).
I've been socializing non-stop since the break-up with my ex-girlfriend I've been taking time to work on myself and I've been making dozens of new friends. Anyone who hasn't been in a real long-term relationship (years) would be surprised how much you'll learn about yourself as a person when that relationship is suddenly over, and how much effort it actually may take to really feel good about yourself again. Having a network of friends is very important to me, especially in more difficult times. Therefor I have been investing my time in socializing. You can agree or disagree, but for me it is the best choice to not do too much gaming-related stuff at the moment, except when I'm with friends and I'm building my network.
I might soon find the motivation again, right now it just doesn't have my priority. I think it is also important that we don't just all do what the others are doing, but if people want to do a little project for LF2 Extended, they just think about the final result and work on it instead of thinking as if it's a job and 'the person next to me is doing nothing, so I should do nothing also'. Everybody has periods where they do want to work on a project like this, and everybody has periods in which other stuff has priority for them.
