I need a break

Hello Everyone
Venris Here

I hope all of you are already enjoying the new update. It was a big effort of the team to deliver it to you, and I just uploaded the last part of small fixes for the mod. That means we are moving to a new update now.

In addition to the new update, I have some more things to talk with you about. This update was very hard for me. There were many things that were a test of the mind. Renovation, discord’s random ban, update process itself, fact that I wanted to deliver it asap so you don't need to wait and recently whole modding drama. I want to say that since then I’ve received 0 credit requests, further accusations or any alleged evidence. I had made a mistake but I can say that I never did it out of malice. It was quite troubling for my mind but I also don’t want to excuse my deed. Mistakes were made, apology was given as soon as it was realized, all that was after is beyond me.

It took a heavy toll on me. I barely ate or slept last week. Had to disable the internet on my devices to not go into mental breakdown. I was very close to burnout. Those that dont know me, I am a very honest person, would never harm anyone on purpose. But I am also very focused on things I am doing and mistakes are being made, I try not to ever deny them.

My lovely wife and son helped me to get through that hard time. Also, many of you send me pms that I saw later. Would like to say thank you to those also. Without you I would break.

So I decided, modding on the scale of SFO will always have mistakes. Most important thing is to understand those mistakes. But I care, maybe too much at times. That's why I am going on a break from the modding and internet community. Need to recharge and clear my head so I can get back fresh and new. I don't know if I will be able to get back before the next DLC or even end of this game but don't be afraid. Mod team will be still working and probably I will be still working from time to time because I just love what I do. But I need to do it alone for a while. This situation wont delay any future updates a lot so again, don't be alarmed. We still have plans for this game that we want to get done before the next installment.

I hope you understand the situation I am in. Breaks have to be done from time to time, when someone gets like this but I assure you I will be stronger after this, I will be able to deliver you much better content.
