Visited family~! (Patreon)

Hey guys! I meant to drop this post BEFORE I left on my trip, but some miscommunication had me running out the door unexpectedly haha~

My grandfather's pretty sick with cancer, and he's also pretty old, so we needed to schedule some quality family time. My grandpa is also an artist, though more in the fine-arts realm. He's CRAZY dedicated to his craft, and from what I keep hearing, we're awfully similar. He's me in 50 years, but instead of talking about spiritual wholeness of the universe, I'll be talking about cute-ass furry butts - and how it bonds us all. ;)

Anyways, one particular moment we had was at his studio. He was doing quick portraits of the family, and I decided to draw a portrait back! It was really something special for him. I caught him up on some of my endeavors and goals/dreams with art, and he was very happy to see I'm on a solid path, and that I know who I am as an artist. 

All in all, I was stressing about this trip for a multitude of reasons,  but it was definitely worth it, and definitely no regrets now when the time comes for his passing. 

I don't typically share stuff like this, but figured the drawing needed a bit of an explanation haha :> 

ANYWAYS BACK TO GAME STUFF!

This month has been going flippin' FAST! Game-wise we've been making some massive progress on some UI updates/upgrades (I'll post a full post regarding this) - and been doing the clean ups and proper implementation of all the stuff in last month's build~

In addition, I've been fleshing out newer portraits, and updating older ones. We're revamping the inventory system (just slightly), and doing a ton of additional scouting for sound effects 'n what not.

It definitely doesn't look like we're gonna have everything I wanted in the next 10 days, But I think we'll be at a much more comfortable spot to have everyone able to play with this one haha. I THINK we're still on track for a polished release next month, but that may push back into a week or two early March. We spent a week or two more on some "building outward" that was kinda unexpected, but necessary, so more pushing back etc Dx.

All in all though we've kept up a great pace. Vixel's computer actually burned out so he was out for a good bit repairing it, and now I've been out with the family stuff. But life happens, so we just gotta roll with it!

Lastly, I wanted to extent a big welcome to all the new patrons! I'm still super grateful and very thrilled we broke 500 supporters! It's such an important mile stone it's ridiculous, and I'm sure we're only gonna grow much more with all the eventual smut I'll be advertising with bahaha.

(Oh and, new pledgers, be sure to add your Discord account to your patreon settings, so you can be added to the server!)

Thank you ALL for being here. I really appreciate it, and I know Vixel and I really wanna do the absolute best we can with this opportunity =)
