So Dusk: Overtime was supposed to be out around this time, but I haven't even really worked on it in months.
Think of it as an animator's block fueled primarily by school. I simply haven't had the energy to put any more long hours into this thing. Over the summer, I poured hours upon hours into it. Like seriously. This shit doesn't fucking happen over night. I mean I probably could have squeezed in a decent amount of work in on it, but I have been doing other things. I guess the main thing I've been doing is painting. I'm enjoying that far too much. I have a new painting submitted to the art portal at least once every few weeks. I've been trying to basically become known as a painter or something like that. I've made some money off of a few paintings in the past year, and am actually about to start working on a commission.
Overtime is a huge movie. A really huge movie. I have a reasonable amount of it done, but the increasingly high expectations (both my own and yours) like to fuck with my motivation a lot. I could motivate myself. I think I could definitely do that. But currently there are other things that I need to do before I do that. I am out of school for two weeks, so I MIGHT get some amount done, but honestly with all of this constant work, it would be nice just to sit around playing video games or something. Though hell, I rarely feel like doing that either.
When will Overtime be out? Fuck if I know. I might as well just say it'll be out next Madness Day. Don't worry though, I'm not going to let it die. It will eventually be completed and released.

I know this *exact* feeling. The only advice I can give you is try to keep your mind of the stress and try to have fun with every moment you work on Overtime. If keeping it enjoyable means taking a break and playing video games, then that's what you must do.

Honestly though I think it's just with animation. I think I've exhausted myself in regards to animation for a long time. Too many days spent on end cranking these things out and working through them. I definitely wouldn't force myself to work on Overtime, or anything for that matter.
