Chapter 5 - Part 2: Week 5 Progress

Homelander
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey everyone,

I'll cut right to the chase since I'm sure you're wondering why the numbers suck. Suffice it to say, it's been a really tough week for me. I can't get into too many details for privacy reasons, but I've unfortunately lost my job this past week. I'm thankful that it was at least through no fault of my own, but I've still been in a state of panic ever since. As you can imagine, losing most of my income and all my benefits so suddenly has been extremely stressful, and made it extremely hard to concentrate on much apart from trying to plan out how I'm going to survive on a shoestring budget.

I suppose it's a bit of a good news, bad news situation for you. Since I suddenly have much more time to work on the game, but I don't have a lot of savings, and as it is, Homelander doesn't quite pay the bills. Still, I have a little tucked away, and if I'm careful and productive, I might be able to survive just long enough to get the next update out. If I can release more regular updates, it's conceivably possible that Homelander could sustain me. Anyway, I'm rambling too much, and I definitely won't survive off of anything if I don't get to work. 

The situation is still very fresh, and I'm not even sure if I've fully come to terms with everything yet, but I felt that you all deserve to be aware of my situation. At least, as aware as I can make you without blasting my personal info everywhere.

I'll leave it here for tonight. I hope you all have a better week.
Much love!
JB
