Progress Report Week 10

This week, there is some good news but also bad news.

The week started pretty well and I managed to finish all the art for Sarah her planned events.
My plan was to get started on Shannon her events last Thursday, but when I woke up I wasn't feeling that well.

I thought it was just me being tired so I took the day off in the hopes of being able to continue work the day after.
Unfortunately, when I woke up Friday I felt even worse.
And I have been in bed with a pretty good flu ever since.

Normally, I like to try to push through that.
But I am already feeling quite tired from the February update so that isn't really an option.I simply decided to stay in bed or on the couch until I feel a lot better.
And I will continue to do so until I feel better.

Unfortunately, right now I still feel pretty much the same as I did Friday.
But I'm expecting to get back to work somewhere in the upcoming week.

What does that mean for this update?

Unfortunately, I already had to come to the decision to push the Donna & Rose diary pages to another update.
I simply don't have enough time left with me being sick.

If I can get back to work on the 15th at the latest, I should be able to finish all promised Sarah & Shannon events.
And I'm going to try my best to make that happen by resting as much as I can in the coming days.

However, it does mean that I probably have to switch the schedule for April and May around.The original plan was to get started on the 0.10.6 update (Laura's content.) somewhere around the 23rd of March after finishing all the work for the 0.10.5 update.
Giving me a solid extra week that I definitely need with a side-character update.

Right now though, it doesn't look like I'm going to have that extra week.
So instead of scrapping content, and in light of me being sick now and after the enormous February update.
It is most likely that I'm going to do something like this.

- March : Sarah & Shannon Content
- April : Sarah & Shannon Content (Small update) + Time Off
- May : Sarah & Shannon Content + Laura Content

This way, I can just focus on the March update without having to worry too much about next month when I get better.
Take 2 weeks off to rest in April, have enough time to produce a tiny M&S Update but also, get started in time for the May update.
And being able to focus properly on the work in May, because the last thing I want to do is produce an update that is sub-par because I don't have enough time.

If by some miracle I feel completely fine again by tomorrow.
I am going to try and follow the original plan. (And it that case the above can be ignored.)
I just want to be honest with everyone and tell you the most likely scenario, in time. :)
I should be able to give a definitive answer about all of this, next week.

Because I've been laying in bed the past couple of days, messages on here and in my mail have been piling up.
I promise that I'll get back to every single one of you in a couple days.
If you need help with something in the game, you can always join our discord server where there are always plenty of people to help. :)

Again, I'm sorry for all the inconvenience.
No matter what though, there will be an update in March, April and May. :)

Build 0.10.4

Build 0.10.4 will be released for Tier 1 in about 4 days from now.
It's scheduled to be released on 14 March, 12:00 GMT

For now, though, I'm going to end this post and go back to my bed.
