Getting back on track
Added 2020-08-03 19:09:25 +0000 UTCHey guys! The next few days are going to be a little unstructured, but I'll post updates throughout.
Firstly thank you so much for your support and feedback. Knowing that so many people want this game to be fuckin' made is both encouraging and humbling. We're all imperfect vessels, but I feel like I've been especially imperfect recently, and I'm going to do my very best to become the crab I need to become in order to deliver this.
Secondly, your feedback on my MFAGA plan – here, on Discord and in my DMs – has been helpful and thought provoking. More on this over the next few days; I'm still absorbing some of it.
MONDAY PROGRESS REPORT
I took the whole weekend off! This was challenging, because there's so much to do, but the project deserves better than a burned out crab.
Even though the MFAGA plan isn't set in stone, a few things are essential – one is simplifying the avatar. Since that impacts the character creator, today I designed a new streamlined version of the character creation screens.
This is the kind of tedious but necessary shit we need to get out of the way as quickly as possible. Getting this organised means that when Victoria's simplified avatar is ready, we'll have the screens set up for you to interact with it.
I also got caught up with a lot of comms, but I still owe people replies, and I might miss things in the backlog. So feel free to nudge me if there's something specific you need an answer to.
Okay, that's it for today. I'm going to take the rest of the evening off and catch up with you guys tomorrow. See you then!

I'm glad you took the weekend off. You really need to do that more often. When you're running in circles you need perspective, not to run faster.

2020-08-04 01:24:21 +0000 UTCHi crush!! been an off n on supporter for about two years now but keep up the good work, the journey has been interesting, I still from time to time pull up old versions just to replay and see the progress in the game and avatar customizations. I'm sure the avatar simplifying will be great [ I think even back to like update 15.2 or something was more than enough, everything after was like icing on a cake... anyways you can always add the extra icing later 😉] but watch your health drink lots of water take weekends off, if you need a extra day for relaxing then take it. I personally love the work you've put into this game and I'm still excited for the work to come...stay strong 💪🏽

2020-08-04 00:29:58 +0000 UTCIt would be best if you took every weekend off, and not work more than 8 hours every day, since working more than that is detrimental to both your efficiency and health. Make sure to workout several times a week too for the same reasons. Taking a break in the middle of the workday to take a walk is a pretty good way to solve pesky problems. Maybe it's obvious, but it seems to need to be said...
