Due to the full scope of my main project only now being fully realised, I now have to trim down the workload.  To this end, I will be withdrawing the side project from my University work.

“Down in the Uncanny Valley” from this point forth will become purely a personal project.  It will be entirely separate from my academic studies.  Work will resume on it at the first available opportunity.  As this project is being dropped academically, so too is the academic research that was to accompany it.  My time will be better served in the creation of a strong final result if I focus all of my attention to the main projects.
