Things are looking pretty dire....


Hey, guys. 0.8 is almost done and ready for patrons to play, but I just want to take a moment to explain where the project is at in regards to my personal life.

As of today, the government in my country has rejected me for welfare payments that I deserved and planned on getting. 

And in less than a month I will be unable to support myself financially, and no one around me that I have the will to ask can help. I don't want to put hope in this project, because I don't want to beg for money in front of my patrons and players, and let me be clear updates will NOT stop and might only BARELY slow down, because I'm still 100% commited to my current existing patrons. 

But essentially, I could work in a fast food place that I used to work at easily, even though I absolutely loathe it and am scared by the dangers of it. I could work there and be able to do this game and that and my university course all at the same time, with great great great stress, but I want that to be the absolute last resort. I want to believe that what I do in this space will make a difference, I care about the community as lame as it is haha. 

And the last thing I want to do is let people down. 

Give me a few days to finish 0.8, it's almost done, its going to be 3 new events and a brand new character introduction, I really think you'll all love it, and I've also gotten rid of the character sprite videos and replaced them with images so that the android version of the game runs better. 

But 0.9 might take two more weeks than usual, or maybe four, I don't know.  This is all assuming I don't go homeless. 

If you want to help, I wouldn't ask you to subscribe to the patreon, but to spread knowledge of the game. Make reddit posts, talk about it in discord communitys surrounding this genre, (politely) ask any popular developers if they'd shout out my game. Anything like that, because I believe in my vision, and I believe that I can do well.

Every update I strive to write better, animate better, design better. I just need the chance to do so that real life isn't giving me. 

No one probably reads these devlogs, or discord announcements and thats ok. I just needed a place to talk today because I'm not having a great time.

Ciao, see you all in a few days when 0.8 releases.

Don't push yourself too hard man, it's great to see you have passion for this game which is reflected in the quality, but don't ruin your health or living situation. I'm fine with updates whenever they come out, so go at a pace that's good for you :)
