Other Weekly Update
Added 2024-08-10 20:49:00 +0000 UTCWe need to have a small sit down for this one. I got good news and bad news.
The bad news is for a while now I've been experiencing heavy burn-out and didn't even realize it. Progress became very sluggish due to getting stuck on what to do next. Some very weird bugs starting occurring with no answers. Then above all else, I realized how ambitious this project really was, and as a one man team for such a project; it would take several years just to have something in Alpha stages. I really didn't know how I was going to be able to actually accomplish this project. But then I started talking to some buds two days ago.
The good news is that there was an easier way to go about this. I'd have to take a step or two backwards from progress and story writing, but with some brainstorming, this project is now very doable. I won't be doing everything I said I would be doing. Such as in-depth mini-games and being able to fuck/date anyone you meet. But, this is a good jumping off point now with just Poppy as the focus for now. I feel a lot better knowing that this project won't take years to get to ya'll and still being able to create what I wanted to create from the very start.
I want to be as transparent as I can with ya'll. I know I've been constantly biting off more than I can chew. But, once I put my ego aside and actual ask for help; the answers seem a lot more tangible. Thank you all for your support and patience with my naïve ass. If you have any questions for me just send them my way. If you want to join the Discord server or you have joined and need a role, go ahead and shoot me a DM. Appreciate ya'll.

You can make sure this section is solid, release it for the patrons, and then if you want to in the future you can add on more later using the experience you gained.
