Stormy March, but things are looking better! (Patreon)

FIRST OFF... thanks for the kind replies to my post of about a week ago. It's much appreciated. that's the most important thing I need to say. I haven't replied to individual messages because it feels weird to answer every single message with just "Thanks" again and again, but the kind words of support and understanding are great to read.
It's been a stormy March, but things are looking infinitely better than they did three weeks ago. My family member is doing well all things considered and though it's still slow going, I'm starting to regain a sense of normalcy again and enjoyment out of the creative process! I'm not even close to putting in the kind of hours that I normally would but that too should start increasing again.
As for FET I think I've now reached a state where I'd normally be with a new build about two weeks(?) ago. I had to undo stuff this week which I did earlier since it wasn't done in the best of mindsets and it showed, but I'm getting that special feeling again which I need to create.
I dislike not hitting the end of the month release time-frame (I dislike it sooo much), but that's exactly what's happening. I've reached a cut-off moment in the build where I don't want to add things and just work on what I've got. It would be a smaller build than normal, but it's not going to be ready for this month regardless of that. And I'd honestly still would kind of like to return to Titans again for April.
That means my current plan is to work on what I have for FET and once that's done in the first or second week of April to release it.
Not everyone might be in the opportunity to stick around as a patron or at their current tier level till then, so if you can't use:
--> This link <--
to download the new build in April. It's an empty mega folder which I'll use to upload the new build to. That would be the early access release, but I'll create the same sort of link for The current Bughunters and upload another post tomorrow with the link and/or send them the link through a dm. Naturally all of the above won't be necessary if you're still at the same tier level in April. I'm just trying to make certain nobody has to feel disappointed if they aren't.
I'd like to write a normal "art update" post again in the future talking about dumb stuff like mice and/or movies/music/games or whatever peeked my interest lately, but there hasn't been a lot of that going on lately so it might take me a bit.
Long story short... Thanks for the kind words and I'm ready to return to (semi) normal again!
