Development Update 42 (Patreon)

Hey guys,

So normally in these development updates, I would talk about my progress on the game over the last few weeks. However, I am afraid that I don't have much progress to report since my last post as I have been dealing with some health problems.

At the end of my last post, I mentioned I needed a couple of weeks off. To cut a long story short, I had some minor routine surgery for a chronic pain issue. The operation seemed to go well and I was resting at home expecting a quick recovery. However, after a week the wound became infected and I've been in and out of the hospital since. Fortunately, the infection has cleared up and I am on the mend. Unfortunately, it left me with a serious open wound for which I am still receiving ongoing hospital treatment. To go through surgery, then an infection only to find myself dealing with this uncomfortable injury has been quite upsetting, to put it mildly. Although I don't believe my life was ever in any serious danger, the whole situation has still been a real pain in the arse.

The good news is I am on the road to recovery now. As the wound heals, I expect life will get progressively easier for me over the coming weeks. I am absolutely desperate to get back to work on the game, so I will be trying to do some writing this week from bed and I hope to be sitting upright at my desk in another week or two. Unfortunately, at the moment I can only say that the next update is going to be delayed to early next year. By the time of my next development update, I should have some better news about the state of my health and progress on the game should be back on track.
