YL2 2020-04-18 - Release notes (Patreon)

Hi all,

We hope you're staying safe in these trying times of global crisis.

This has been a very weird month for me (odes), and this will be a pretty weird post. But screw it!

I recently finished watching Beastars on Netflix, and to say it had an impact on me would be a monumental understatement. It caused me to have a complete emotional breakdown, making me question everything about myself and the decisions I've made in my life. It's weird, because up until watching it I felt like I had everything in my life figured out and under control. But after seeing it, I was left with feelings of doubt, regret and confusion.

In conjunction with this, I've been battling an acute gastritis (probably in part caused or at least made worse by the emotional distress described above). I don't know if you've ever had something like it, but it is terrible! You literally can't eat, even though you're really hungry, and that hunger makes it impossible to sleep too. I think it goes without saying, but working in that condition was simply not possible for me. Luckily, I'm feeling a lot better now, and slowly but surely I've been able to resume eating normally again.

This whole event has acted as a sort of reset for me and I've been doing a lot of introspection as of late. The truth is, I have a ton of problems in my life that I've been running from since forever. What Beastars did to me was bring those problems to light in a way that made it impossible for me to continue, and working on this project has been the only thing keeping my life together. I'm still in the process of working out all of this, but I know I can't run any longer. I'm currently in the process of talking with a psychologist, and I think I'm getting a clearer picture of what I need to do to set my life in order.

So what does all this have to do with YL2? Well, going through all this has prevented me from putting in the hours I had originally planned, meaning the cloud service still isn't where it needs to be before we can launch an alpha of it. I've managed to resume working on it though, and it's coming along well, but it's going to take some more time before it's ready.

Luckily, Dogson has been hard at work creating new content for this release that I think you'll be excited about! You can see it in the pictures above or by clicking the link below:

We hope you will enjoy this release despite it being focused solely on new content once again.

Please give dogson the credit he deserves for saving this month!

Thank you for reading and remember to stay safe!

All the best.
