Sad news (Patreon)

Before everything else, I suggest everyone to stop or lower their pledges until things get stable again. 

It has been a stressful moment since the storm hit us. People and pets got sick with rat-piss disease or leptospirosis. One elderly died because he had wounds in his foot. My sister and 3 others from the area were hospitalized for days because of dengue .

I am in no condition to get things done as fast. I barely get 12 hours on this a week. The worst news I had been stressing from since the start of the month is that Chris Armin will no longer animate for us. He is no longer happy animating some of the enemies (as dark as Raprevine) and also had personal problems on his own.

I have no idea where to get someone to replace him or would the game even work with artistic inconsistency if I do find someone as good and carry one with where he left off.

That said, I am in the works where I can lead the current game as a prologue and finish it with whatever scenes that are already done. Chris also sent new scenes so I will add those ingame, too. (sketch files are attached in this post)

If no animator is found sooner, then I will finish the game as a prologue and Continue Divine Arms as a new game from the ground up (Forbidden Arms or Witch Hunt gameplay) and hire a programmer instead while I go back to drawing and animating. 

It is far easier to hire programmers than find great animators who don't already have their own campaign.

For those on DDD, we can transfer the ideas to the new game if that ever is the direction, or I will slowly refund it. For everyone else, again, please lower or remove your pledges if you are no longer happy. I will issue refunds in the same manner if requested.

Thank you everyone for understanding.
And I'm sorry for letting you down, but this is way beyond me. :(

PS: I did receive some warnings pertaining to Patreon's new ToS and I believe the game is nowhere against it. We will continue to tailor it to these new set of rules. It would be extra depressing if this thing adds up to the problems.
