Bad news and explanation

Hey guys,

Usually we try to burn the midnight oil to try and always hit our estimate, even if we miss it by a few hours but this time I must say it's likely that we miss it by 1 or at worst case scenario two days.

Sunday, we've had a blackout in the area and I lost many hours of work, it was disheartening but it was a stepback, I still had hope to do a late 27 release.

Today it was far worse. I got a call early in the morning that my mom wasn't looking okay and I rushed to my parent's house. My mom was in catatonic state, mouth open, breathing with difficulty and her eyes fixed on the ceiling not following any movement or showing recognition of anyone.

Most of you know my mom is paralyzed in a bed with a neurodegenerative disease and my dad has cancer, they're old and they've been in very dire health conditions. While generally this doesn't cause issues or delays (they kinda indirectly do but, you know) today I honestly believed I was going to lose my mother. God knows the first time I looked at her I thought she was dead already.

Long story short, rushed in the ambulance to the hospital, and fortunately the doctors think it's just a pneumonia and she will recover whatever little functions she had. Recognition, limited speak, not ideal but definitely better than being in a life threatening situation in vegetable mode.

I thought about it at length in the past. How would I react? And how would I react if it happened in crunch time near a patch release? Could I push myself through to work on my game? In the past working on my game has helped me move my mind away from my parents family issues so, will it support me or will I be too broken to work?

Truth is, when I thought I lost my mom today I just couldn't react, when I found out, I had been up for 26 hours working on the patch and it's now been 32 hours since I've slept for the last time. My nervous system has almost shutdown between exhaustion and honestly, negation. I haven't spent this much time without sleeping possibly in the last decade.

I'm  unable to think whatsoever at this moment, let alone write the Kinky Kittens grope scenes. I hope you guys have it in your hearts to forgive the first real delay in two years, I will keep you updated and I will work tirelessly to try and hit the deadline or if unable, the day after.

As always, good times and bad, thank you so much for your support! And for those who decide to withdraw the support, I understand, if we release it past midnight of the 28th just message us and we'll still send you the patch v0.91.
