Personal events and their impact

Yuri University
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android

Hello everyone,

I'm normally a fairly private person. I love to talk about the game and generally chat, but I tend to keep my personal life to myself. Unfortunately, events in my life are now having a large impact on the development of YU, and so I feel it's only fair to let you all know what's going on.

A little while ago, my fiancée found out she has cancer. Things moved pretty quickly and she was soon booked in for surgery, but we needed to go to a specialist hospital in another part of the country. I decided I wanted to stay there with her, so I could support her during her recovery.

The surgery was complex, but she is thankfully recovering, but I'm not sure yet when we'll be able to go home. Which is why I wanted to post this. I'm not able to do any dev work whilst away, and when we're back I'll likely have less time than I had before, so there are likely to be delays.

I genuinely love making this game. It's a hobby, a passion and, when times are hard, an escape. I have no intention of giving it up. The next couple of updates will just take a little longer than I hoped.

I will keep you all updated when I'm home and back at it.


Thank you <3
