I say hassle, you say... (Patreon)

Hey guys! Marty here!

Remember when cbob told us we could hassle him if he couldn't get anything done in November?!?!

Let's just say I got myself a stick and called it hassle. And it's better than bacon.

I say hassle, you say stick!

Hassle...

Hassle...

But all fun aside, cbob won't make it this month again and I talked to him about what the best course of action would be because I feel a bit more is needed than just saying 

"guys we didn't make it this month (again), see you in the next!" 

There's folks among you who'd support us way beyond anything which can be called reasonable. And sure, it's your money and you can bloody well do with it as you see fit! We're making adult games and you are an adult, right? But we've created some expectations these last months which we haven't been able to make good on and that can't keep on going. 

So I suggested pausing our patreon billing cycle to cbob and he agreed that would be a good idea. Cbob will keep working on the new FET build at a pace he is able to and at least until he can show us the fruits of his labor we'll suspend the  billing. 

I like that very much, because this will most likely also allow cbob to relax more. Getting the amount of support we're getting and not being able to deliver something for this long will start eating at you. Subconsciously or not. And that's when you're mentally doing fine. If you're not at your best that becomes crippling.

So cbob will have a real opportunity to get back on the road to recovery, (something I was aiming for regardless!) and I'll just pick my nose and do nothing in the mean time... 

Ha! Of course not. I started working on a little side project which I intend to expand upon.  Some of you already know what it is. And just so you know, it's not a continuation of Omnitrixxx. I know some of you really liked that and God knows anything with Gwen in it has an uncanny ability to hold my unhealthy attention, but Omnitrixxx was always meant as a test for myself and set up as such.

Working on FET is important, yes, but I need cbob for that... unless you want builds merely consisting out of cheap puns....    When running a three legged marathon, which is basically what FET is, you can't keep  going while the other is feeling those stabs in his side. Don't ask me why I keep making these weird comparisons...

So there you have it. I might add to this post later if it turns out it's needed and I'll keep you up to date throughout the upcoming month.  Now let's see if I can find the buttons which will actually do what I was talking about.
