State of things (Patreon)

Hello,

I wanted to give you guys an update on what has been going on and what I'm planning for the future.

First of all, thanks to all of you guys that still stuck with me. I'm well aware of the lack of updates and content and I feel awful for not providing content like I used to. This all stems from the fact that I landed that job in July last year. At first it only cut in my free time of course, causing the updates to become less frequent. Over time however, I became more and more depressed, which had gotten incredibly bad at the beginning of this year. There were a lot of days where I just came home from work, basically stared at my PC screen not doing anything at all, ate something and went to bed later. I certainly don't want my life to continue this way.

However my contract ends at the end of June this year. They do would like to keep me around, though I already talked to my boss and said that I want to reduce my working hours, which should result in me having a lot more time to focus on my own projects, while also having a fixed income with the Patreon money on top. Relying solely on Patreon currently wouldn't probably be too smart, since it fluctuates a lot.

Now if that all works out, then I of course want to focus on getting updates out more frequently but I'd also like to try my hand at streaming and see how that would work out for me.

Speaking of updates, thanks to the 1st of May being a national holiday in Germany, I also took off Thursday and Friday, which leaves me with a five day weekend. This will be dedicated to Giant's Sandbox, so expect a new version by the end of next week.

Tl;dr: Depression due to my job, new working hours should result in more updates, new Giant's Sandbox update next week.

That's all for now. I'm still incredibly grateful for the support you guys have shown me and I owe you a lot. Thank you <3
