Life Stuff. A Word from Vixel (Patreon)

Hey floofs! I have an announcement that's a bit more serious! :O My dad is reaching the advanced stages of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (an autoimmune disease that stops muscle tissues from regenerating). He's living at home in a fancy medical bed, hoyer lift and wheelchair, and still has partial use of both legs and right arm. The disease has now progressed to the point he is having severe breathing issues. It's tough stuff and really hard to watch him go through it, but he keeps a positive attitude and makes the most of whatever time he has. <3

My mother has generously volunteered her energies to be his primary caretaker, and it's an unenviable role of personal sacrifice as he requires constant care!

Me, I'm currently living with fam and helping them manage the homestead. There's a LOT of heavy home-side happenings that pop up randomly and compete for attention with the game.

I'm keeping steady development momentum, but there'll come a point at some unknown time in the future where Dad will pass away, and it'll probably cause a few weeks disruption on game progress while we grieve and do his funeral. I'll do my best to minimize any impact to TFOL! I'm not making this announcement for pity, but I wanted to keep you in the loop since that situation's eventually gonna be going down. :V

Carrot here, just wanted to say Vixel's family has actually been dealing with this stuff through a majority of TFOL's production. But we thought it's important to be upfront with you all now, especially since more pressing things might be occupying his time soon. When the time comes, we ask you all to be patient while things heal. I'll do my best to keep you guys entertained until Vixel's return.
