A Life Well Lived

Hello everyone,
I'm posting because I want to keep you guys informed. Especially in light of everything I've promised recently. Things are moving forward, and I plan to get a release out this month.
I didn't go into much detail in the October 1st post, because I didn't really want to throw a bunch of excuses at you. September was not a good month--one of the biggest reasons why was that my father was diagnosed with stage 2B lung cancer. Unfortunately, he passed away last Thursday from complications during surgery.
I'm posting this because I'm now uncertain whether I'll get you guys the update by the 15th, which was my goal at the start of the month. I doubt I'll have much time this week to work, and to be honest, my creative juices are a bit depressed currently.
I love working on the game, so I'm not saying this to imply I'll be gone for any extended period. I very much plan to have a sizable release to you all this month, but I just don't know that it'll be in the next week.
Thank you for understanding. I hope all is well with you, and wish you good health and good fortune.

Thank you everyone for the comments. I appreciate it. I'm back to work on the game, as it's a nice way to take my mind off of everything else.

2017-10-09 16:08:09 +0000 UTCMy mood was a bit down yestederday. I just learned that my grandma, who fell and broke her leg, will be moving into the nursing home, and not back into the house that has so many memories. I get how it would be hard to write for you right now.

2017-10-09 12:55:06 +0000 UTCTake your time and try to heal. I'm sorry to hear. If it is any consolation he didn't have to go through all the horrors of fighting cancer. I have seen that with 3 family members. It was never an easy sight.

2017-10-09 11:27:11 +0000 UTCwell i haven't lost my parents yet, but i did lose the two grandparents i was close to. both times i had to suck it up and push on due to the whims of those in charge of me at the time, and it makes you a little bit bitter towards them (and all people in charge of you really). if i was in charge of you i wouldn't want such and i'd tell you to take the time you need, but i am not in charge of you, you are in charge of you. you seem to know that you need to take some time, which is good. i have told you this before, but your payment structure means that any patron that puts pressure on you to hurry up or what not is in the wrong. the payment structure shifts the pressure to perform from us to you, and any patron that feels otherwise is being a dick just to be a dick and you should ignore them, it isn't any skin off our noses for any delays whatever the reasons. personally i'd have taken the time off as well (in fact i tried to), in my book it is well worth it for such things.

2017-10-09 10:10:56 +0000 UTCMy condolences. Unfortunately life waits for nobody but I and I'm sure quite a few others will accept the time you need to come to peace. Family is most important.

2017-10-09 06:52:54 +0000 UTCDamn that sucks, take as long as you need, family should come first.
2017-10-09 06:27:04 +0000 UTCNo need for any apologies or anything of the sort, take your time healing and we'll be there when you're good and ready. Feel better man.
2017-10-09 05:50:21 +0000 UTCDamn, I'm sorry for your loses. There's not much I can say past what others have already told you here. Except to reiterate the importance of grieving and coping with the passing. Spend as much time with your family and friends as possible, it will help you deal with the emotional pain. Your work will always be there to keep your mind busy, but don't try to use it to ignore the situation. Hope you feel better soon, take care.

2017-10-09 05:34:53 +0000 UTCMy sincere condoleances, having lost my father several years ago I understand how you feel, so don't worry about the update, take your time, do your best, and take care of yourself.

2017-10-09 05:30:52 +0000 UTCI am sorry for you father. With all that happened in these two years (having kids and now your father passing away), that must have been the worst possible time to get involved with game designing... : P I hope you are okay. Take the time you need.

2017-10-09 05:26:35 +0000 UTCCondolences, man. Take the time you need. That kind of loss never stops hurting, but in time you do get better at dealing with it.

2017-10-09 05:25:37 +0000 UTCMy sincere condolences, I lost my father just this past August, so I know how it feels. The hard part was seeing him waste away as his body slowly started to fail, rather than just going all at once. His COPD, didn't let him breathe South Texas's humid air, his kidneys were shot as were his pancreas. It was awful.

2017-10-09 05:20:25 +0000 UTCMy sincere condolences. For however much it is worth coming from some random dude online. I truly wish you luck and stability during this. May you and yours find comfort that he is now free of his pain and may he rest in peace. I don't speak for anyone else but please take the time you need for yourself and your family. A game is nothing in this turn of events.
