Update on Current Status and Future Plans

Hey folks,

I hope you're all doing great! Apologies for going radio silent these past few weeks. I had some vacation days saved up, and I decided to spend them with friends and family. Now that I'm back, I’m glad I took that time—it was great to be off the grid for a bit and hit the reset button.

That being said, I’m currently feeling a bit of an "idea void." In other words, I don’t have any mod ideas at the moment that feel both worthwhile and doable. Some ideas do come to mind, but they’re usually either too small to make much of a difference in the game or too large and time-consuming to tackle. As a result, I don’t have any active projects or plans right now that I can confidently say I’m working on. So, if you’re expecting something "shiny and new" from me soon, the next few weeks might be a bit boring on that front. I want to express my deep gratitude for all the support you’ve given me over the months, whether it’s $1 or $10—it all means a lot to me, and I appreciate every bit of it. And while I know most of you support me without expecting anything in return, I still feel it’s important to clarify that this long silence isn’t because I’m secretly working on something big. Unfortunately, that’s not the case right now. I feel a responsibility to be upfront with my patrons, so if you’ve been supporting me in the hope that I’m cooking up something major, I completely understand if you want to check back another time.

I’m also aware that the Bannerlord modding scene is quieter than ever, and overall interest in the game seems to be declining significantly. However, I’m not completely done with the game yet. Despite its shortcomings, I still enjoy playing it, and I continue to have ideas for improvements. I’m particularly eager to bring better AI into the game, but I need some time to figure out the most optimal way to approach that. In the meantime, I’ll do my best to support my older mods and may even consider reviving some classics (like Freelancer), though I haven’t made a final decision on that yet.

So that’s where things stand! I hope this clears up why I’ve been quiet lately, and why that might continue for a bit longer. If you have any ideas you’d like to pitch, feel free to share them here or on Discord. I’m trying to stay active and check in almost daily.
