Although I was especially looking forward to the summer event since I was too much of a newbie to understand and participate in it last year, I'm completely okay with it being skipped as I have to put my DV playing on pause to finish some real life goals, and I'm more of an autumn fan anyway :p
A lot of creators/teams often feel like they have to push through and make everything even when there's no time, and it often takes its toll on the quality of the work and happiness of the workers, so this is absolutely the right choice. Also, kudos for actively looking for feedback and utilizing it to improve so quickly!
