Whaddup, my brave squadmates! 'Tis your captain, AgentWolf, speaking! Do y'all miss me? \(>w<)/ 

It's been quite a while since we last talked, hasn't it? Like, four months ago, during Christmas, when I last updated the game. Time sure flies, huh? (TvT) Anyway, how's everyone doing? I hope you're doing well. (^w^) Not for me, tho ('>3>)

Anyway, let's not beat around the bush, shall we? First of all, I have some bad news: I have to take another hiatus. I know, I know! It feels like every time I write a devlog, I'm telling you I'm taking a break. I'm really sorry for not telling you sooner, but I had hoped to finish the game before this happened. Unfortunately, I was too optimistic, only to show how foolish I was to think that way at that time. (T^T)

The reason for this hiatus is that I've been starting another internship, and it's been super intense for the last two weeks. Due to that, I needed to put all my focus into it and couldn't have any distractions. I should have realized this earlier and let you all know, but I was too naive and didn't see it coming. The workload has tripled compared to my last internship, and I can barely find time for anything else. Even Discord, which I used to use all the time, has been neglected. It makes me really sad whenever I see the notifications coming out of it, but I never have the time to open them. (q3q) I've been working myself to the bone, and it's affecting my health. I had a migraine the other day and sleep deprivation, which is a sign that I need to slow down. Good thing I had an off day from work today and decided to take this only chance to sleep throughout the whole day, and only God knows how refreshed I felt the moment I woke up from my bed like a friggin' zombie. I really need to do a better job of taking care of myself, lol. ('ÚwÙ)

So, here's the deal: My internship ends on New Year's Eve, which is eight months from now. During that time, I won't be able to work on the game, and I'm not sure if I'll continue it after that. But I'm committed to this project, and I won't give up until I've tried everything. I hope you'll understand and be patient with me during this tough time. I HAVE FAITH IN Y'ALL AND I HOPE Y'ALL HAVE FAITH IN ME! (/QAQ)/

And that's all for now, I guess! I miss chatting with y'all and can't wait to return. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy, aight? See y'all at the end of the year, my lovely squadmates! Chaw! (QwQ)/ <3 <3
