Dev Diary #7


Hello everyone, I'm very sorry for my recent absence. The sudden death of my father weeks ago was a shock that required a lot of bureaucratical and emotional labor and it has taken much of my time and energy. It's still an ongoing process in fact. He had no will, a lot of debts, and plans that needed to be canceled. You don't really get to rest and grieve until all the bureaucracy is dealt with. If I had any advice to give to you all, it's to make sure there is a plan for when these things happen. We don't like to think about it, but it will happen to all of us eventually. The last thing you want is to go into debt paying 10s of thousands in bills until you get life insurance, which can take weeks or months to acquire without a plan.

Thank you all for sticking with me and supporting me through this time. I wish my creativity could flow as it did, but it will take time for things to go back to normal. We were planning a trip to Europe together this fall, we rarely ever vacationed, but it's one I'll be taking without him now. I was eager to start the development of v0.18 early but it seems something always happens between updates to fuck things up. So again, thank you so much for your support during these times. I wouldn't have been able to give him the burial I think he would have wanted without it. 

I am actively trying to work now but the creative process is very strained for the time being. Things are slow, but I'm certain they'll go back to normal given enough time. I will keep you all updated with greater frequency going forward.

That sucks bro. Sorry for your loss and how things turned out. Don't worry about the game. It's fantastic as it is. It's better than most completed games. Take your time and get things in order. 

Take your time, grieving is a proces that comes in bits and spurts and waves.  You might be happy and then get hit by a memory of your dad, that's okay.  Take your time. 

I lost my dad too not so long ago, you'll have a lot to process that's for sure. I'm truely sorry for your loss and I hope you won't ever be alone to face it. About the game, we'll wait the time it will need you have one of the most liked games in here, don't worry about it. All my best thaughts are to you and your close ones. In the name of the french translation team, take care of yourself

Condolences, I solidly believe the game should always come second to the life you have to live. I hope things sort out in the end and that you get the time and/or space you need to process everything emotionally rather than just bureaucratical. Thank you for the updates though, it's nice to have a window into what's going on and helps know the goal is still there.

Take as much time as you need mate, we can all understand that you need some time away from your game, I lost my uncle a few months ago and my dad has been a mess ever since so I believe I I know what kind of emotional damage you are going through, take a nice long mental break, may your father rest in peace <3 we love you mate, take some time and enjoy your vacation despite the loss.

Hello Runey, thank you for sharing this with us. My condolences. May your father be well, wherever he is now. I wish you a lot of strength to get through these difficult times. My father also died a few years ago. I guess all you can do is take one step at a time. Everyone probably has to find their own way of dealing with it, but I am a Buddhist and what helped me with my father was the idea that energy is not lost. At some point, the body is used up and the consciousness seeks a new form. I imagined my father was on a trip. In the apartment, I have a photo of him on the altar and in the hallway. I think about him a lot. I say hello and bye to him, good morning and good night. He lives on in my thoughts and in my heart. Take your time with the updates and have a good trip to Europe! Also, I want to thank you so much for Harem Hotel! I love this game and I play it a lot! Cheers and all the best, Till

I hope your doing well now. Cheer up man health and our mentality comes first always you should take care too alright?.?!

My condolences. I experienced similar thing back then. I could only imagine how many bureaucratic things you have to deal with in your region, I know for a fact in my region that it was soul-draining and time consuming as we had to run all over the place to get everything done. Good luck to you and your family, I hope things will be better as time goes. Thank you for your hard work so far.

Take all the time you need, dude.  Grieving never ends, it just lessens, but taking time to clear up the problems and work out your new reality early on helps.  Take care.
