NOT DEVLOG: Winter. Survival. Development. (Patreon)

Hello Everyone!

Winter

My family and I are alive and doing well. After returning from a short road trip, I faced several challenges that needed to be solved immediately. I overcame some of them to write this post with a cool head.

After one of the last shellings, the windows in the apartment I live in were damaged, and it became impossible to stay inside with the onset of cold weather and blackout. Replacing windows will take some time, so we moved to a rented apartment.

Surveillancea

Many people have already asked me, why don't you leave the country? I can't go because I'm liable for military service.

Why don't I move to a safe region of the country? There are no safe places in Ukraine.

Based on these factors, I decided to prepare as much as possible for wintering and development during future blackouts.

Besides the move, I was busy buying gas for cooking (successfully), generators (will have it next week), charging stations (waiting for them to process my order), power banks, Starlink (hope to have it following Christmas), LED lights, food, and other necessary things. I never thought that by 2023 I would be investing such a crazy amount of money in survival. I am infinitely grateful for your support because it makes our life possible.

Development

Currently, there is electricity for about 6-9 hours a day. I don't have information when the electricity will be turned on or off. Internet connection is about the same. Therefore, I try to adjust to these outages to continue working on the project. I hope to get at least a generator soon and thus provide a more or less stable power supply.

I'm not writing this to whine to you. I just want to let you know that the project is not abandoned and that despite all the difficulties and challenges, I continue to develop it.

When you start to analyze the problems one by one, everything does not look so scary. And this is nothing compared to the hardships that the defenders of my country endure. Therefore, I perceive everything that happens as the price I pay for freedom, including the freedom to be an indie developer in a peaceful country.

Stay Tuned!
