Announcement! (Edit!)

Edit:

I originally said I'd be back on the 16th, but it's looking like it's going to be a week or so later than that. Something I didn't share with you, is that I cut my finger tip with a butcher's knife pretty badly on memorial Day which is a holiday in the United States. I went to see my doctor on the 20th of last month, and she said it would take about 6 weeks to fully heal, from the time I saw her. It's been about 3.

I've been trying to type a little bit, but it's still painful if I do it for an extended period of time. So I'm going to give it another week or so from when I originally said I was going to come back.

This is being done on voice type right now (as was the original message). If it's not healed by the time I said, I'm going to try to use windows voice type in order to write for the game, which is not ideal and going to be difficult, but it's going to be the only option I have.

If it doesn't heal in the 6 weeks, she said something about sending me to a hand surgeon, but I really don't want to do that if I can avoid it, and she doesn't think I'll have to. So here's hoping the next time I post to you guys everything's cool with that.

I've got pictures I can share if you'd like them, so you know I'm not full of crap (or just want to get sick to your stomach). I really thought it would be healed by now, but I've been left with a scar that's pretty nasty, and my fingertip feels like a blister. I didn't think it would take as long as she said it would. So that's why I didn't mention it in the last edition of this post.

Yea, so that on top of all the other crap that going on. But, if I've learned one thing. Life can't stay bad forever, and life can't stay good forever. No matter what you do. Anyway just wanted to keep you guys informed. I'll send another message when I'm back. Thank you to everyone who responded to the original message and for your continued support in this dark time.

As always hope you are all doing well! Cheers!

P.S. - at least I can still play games, because that doesn't require the middle finger. So I'm not going completely insane!

I'm going to take a couple weeks for myself to do a number of things, I need/want to do. Real life stuff has been crazy as of late and I need a little break. Long story short, as many of you know I'm functionally disabled (I have a chronic nerve pain condition and nerve damage to one of my ears that causes facial nephropathy. It's controlled fairly well by meds most days, so please don't feel sorry for me. Some others have it much worse).

As a result of this I live with my parents. Well, they've decided to get a divorce (rather my Mom did) at 70 years old and my Mom has moved out. So, Dad and I are still in the house, but we're going to to have to sell it and be out in a year. I know it's not happening tomorrow, but it's still been hard and stressful. I've not seen my Dad cry but once in his life til now, and now it's a weekly thing. My sister and I are trying to help him the best we can, because he won't get professional help or let the doctor put him on meds. So, needless to say this hasn't been easy for anyone.

Having said all of that, you can see why I might need a break. Also, I'm a Final Fantasy and Diablo nut, and I've yet to have a chance to play either, so that's what I'm gonna do in the next two weeks. Play FF16 and Diablo IV. On top of that I'm going to take some time to play some games of other developers I admire, and maybe even a few 0.1's.

Why? Because I haven't for a very long time due to making my own and how much effort that takes doing it as just one person (don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have it any other way). It's never a bad thing for me to study what's out there, so I can keep current with ideas of what I think both works and doesn't in Adult visual novels.

I'll post a message on the 16th, to let you all know I'm back at it, and who knows, I may even play around and do some promo renders. Every render I do, I learn something new it seems. So, if I choose to do some in this period, I will of course share them with you guys!

As always hope you are all doing well! Cheers!

P.S. - Hope you liked Ch. 15. I didn't get a lot of feedback on it, but what I did was extremely positive, which is always good to hear! Also it did end up being the biggest update in the history of the game!
