166 - An Actual Monday Post? Finally! (Patreon)

So... This will probably be a long one, so I hope you're ready :) Alright, let's do this thing. Monday Post #157!

The health. The current situation is as follows: I definitely do feel better ^_^. In fact I feel good enough not only to be able to write this post but also to get back to working again. That being said I am definitely not 100% back to normal. To be honest I am not sure if I will ever be at this point. But it's not nice to be greedy, recovering back to 90% at eventually would make me perfectly content with my life.

What did I do to heal? A lot of stuff: exercise, rest, diet, massages, vitamins, anti-inflammatory pills, ect. And now that I do start to feel better I really hope that it's the sum of the things and not just the pills... Because I'll have to stop taking those soon and  going back to how thing were would *really* suck.

Also I bought an orthopedic chair. It's green and weird. But at this point I am willing to try almost anything. I also ordered a desk with adjustable height, but it's taking forever to get here. (Seriously it's been a month T_T).

The IRL stuff. All sorts of things were making my life miserable lately, not just the health problems. At this point in time I did manage to solve some of them and just sort of came to terms with the rest. Life just goes on I guess... And don't get me wrong I am not out of the woods yet, but being able to work again really helps me to take mind off of things and feel more fulfilled and happy in general :)

The work. I spent big portion of this week working on the story for Ep12. Saying that it feels good to be back doesn't do it justice. It's doesn't just "feel good", it's more like my life has a meaning again. It probably sounds a bit depressing when I say it like that, sorry. What I mean is that what I do for a living really makes me happy. Thank you for making it possible, guys.

Episode 12. Currently I am back to working on the story. This episode will be a bit on an epic side :) Th little piggy storyline with Jasmine and Ashelin will be getting a proper continuation, also the Ahselin and Lara romance will be advancing quite a bit, not without the help of the MC of course. Usually I don't like to spoil stuff but I think I should give you at least something at this point. So yeah, Ep12 will include a lot of wholesome events ^_^

The thoughts. Over these months, while I continued to feel crappy I couldn't work and playing video games made my head hurt. In other words I had plenty of time to think and reflect on a lot of things. During that time I made some decisions concerning both my personal life and my work. I don't want to go into the details yet, but slowly some changes will come. Don't worry it will be changes for the better and I actually think you will welcome most of them with open arms. But for now that is all I will be saying.

Witch Trainer. In case you didn't know, recently I uploaded WT to itch.io. Shortly after I got a few messages from people saying that they have problems lunching the apk file on their phones. I decided to test it myself, and it launched without a problem. And then... And then I spent an hour playing the game. Revisiting it after so many years felt wild. A whole rush of emotions and memories. It made me remember how much effort I put into swimmingly important things back then: the fire place fire animation, the outside weather effects, the animated chibis. Heh, back then I had plenty of time and health to burn through. Well in any case, revisiting WT made me also think some things, but I don't think it's time to talk about that yet :)

And I will be wraping things up here. Thank you for being with me during this weird and difficult times. Honestly as long as I have you I shouldn't worry about a thing. ^_^ Love you all.
