THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

Hi, everyone!

First of all, I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of support and kindness that Friday's poll elicited. I was expecting a lot of people to be rightfully frustrated, but what I got instead was empathy, friendship and earnest entireties for me to take care of myself.

So... thank you. Truly.

I wish I could answer each and every one of you, but there were just so many messages! Just know that I read each and every one of them, and that they meant the world to me.

Okay, but what does that mean for the updates? It means I will be taking the two weeks to really refine the systems and get as much content based on them as possible into the game before release. That means combat system, conquer system and at least four conquerable districts complete with "Boss Girls" will be available when the next update hits.

I've made better progress on the combat system over the weekend than I expected to, so with a little luck I should have it fully functional by the end of the day today, at which point I can begin tying it into the conquer system and flesh that out.

I will do my best to keep everyone updated (communication has been a big theme amongst the message I received) and I've been considering doing a bi-weekly or monthly "State of the Game" video where I go into what's going on, what my plans are going forward, and addressing concerns or questions submitted to me. Let me know what you think?

And after this? Back to the weekly updates :)

I've actually really enjoyed having two weeks between updates - first week for design, render work and scripting and second week for implementation has been so much less stressful and has allowed me more time to polish everything, as well as be around in the server more. But the weekly release schedule has its advantages too, and I don't want people to worry that I'm flaking out or anything, so - back to weekly updates after this.

Okay, that's everything. Sorry for yet another wall of text! No more of these for a while, I promise ;)

And again, to everyone who commented... really and truly, thank you.
