Jen's Event!
Added 2017-07-13 06:32:19 +0000 UTCSo, I've started working on Jen's event (finally)! Had a lot of errands to do today, so not as much got done as I'd like, but this is already pretty much plotted out, so all I need to do is connect the dots. I hope to have it done and working by the end of the weekend!
And onto the less fun news. Creative burnout is starting to happen. I could tell it was coming and I did my best to ignore it, but in the end it will always win. I'm not gonna let it stop me from finishing the game, I'm way too stubborn for that, but I am probably gonna slow down with these updates. I will be doing continuous work, but I won't be devoting 4 to 5 hours each evening like I have been. It wasn't feasible to start with, but hey, we all do crazy stuff when we're passionate.
To reiterate, I AM NOT STOPPING DEVELOPMENT. I am merely slowing my roll a bit to make sure I can actually get this thing done before the next millennium and don't start to absolutely hate it. I won't be leaving out anyone's pledge rewards either, so don't worry. Some of you may be upset about this, and I'm sorry, but I don't know what to tell you. This is a fact of life and a fact of long term game development.
From now on, these updates will come on Sunday only instead of every day unless I REALLY want to show you guys something or I've just completed a build. Again, I'm not stopping, just laying off the gas a bit. I will however, still respond to messages and forum responses, so you'll always be able to reach me if you need to.
Stay fabulous you guys. ;)

No worries, it's good to have a way to take a break and have a sustainable pace. You do your best work when you enjoy it!

2017-07-15 11:50:34 +0000 UTCThanks for being so understanding. I agonized really bad about telling you guys about it because I was afraid of sullying your trust or something. I realize that it takes a lot to put your faith in a stranger, even more so when it's monetary. But in the end, transparency won out.

I find walking by the river, and sitting by waterfalls helps, but walks down by the river are probally not very relaxing in alligator country. Everyone is different, take some time off, and find what works for you.
