Update! Game work and life (Patreon)

Heyo! I'll update everyone on the game stuff first then finish the post with a buncha life stuff because it is affecting my work output and I'd like to be transparent.

Currently I'm working on sprites for enemies, adding to the player character sprite sheet, experimenting with environment tiles and "painting" environments, level design etc. I was hoping to have a new faux gameplay animation with the new sprite work ready by Feb 1st but I've had very little time to work lately. You can see most of my sketches and wip stuff in my server on Discord! I did just finish the last of my commission animations for now but the Jan sticker will be delayed a month.

My family life has been somewhat difficult lately. My granddad was hospitalized for months, had multiple surgeries, and is currently at home paralyzed from the waist down. My folks and I have been helping nurse with my grandmother but most of my family is immune deficient and get sick often. The last few weeks I've spent the majority of my time helping out which for obvious reasons makes drawing hentai difficult. I was 4 days late with my last commission and the Jan patreon sticker I'm delaying till I send the Feb one (please gimme some ideas!). A lack of trust and serious family drama makes things even more difficult, a couple family members want me to move into my grandparents to nurse full time. If the drama keeps my folks from compromising on nursing care I might just have to. That would heavily affect the hours I could work on art and animation.
Also Unfortunately a member of my extended family has fallen very ill last night so even here at home it's very emotional. It was a long night.

Since the beginning of my career about 5 years ago when I first started taking comms it's been sort of a loop of commission work, burnout, depression, inspiration and experimentation then back to commissions. I pushed myself to work on a game idea, Fur-Rumble, with help and inspiration from my friend AeroWing. The development brought alot(up to about $600/mo) of support to my patreon as well as commissioning out character slots and background characters. Since then I've been experimenting with ideas trying to develop something new but it took a long time to solidify an idea and find a capable coder to collaborate with, patreon support has mostly petered out. Now that I finished my commissions this new Metroidvania  game is my only major project and I'm putting everything I've got into it >:O

I hope you consider supporting my journey with this still unnamed Metroidvania with a focus on lewd enemies inspired by aliens from all sorts of games and movies >:3

At one point I considered living as a homeless nomad and frantically studied caricature art so I could buy food and camp stealthily in wooded areas. I'm glad it never came to that.

Thank you all for everything <3

THANK YOU
