Shego set split in two. Clarifications! (Patreon)

Ok, so got a few messages about the Shego set being split in two parts. Now let me be clear, YES! I did originally said I was planning of releasing it in ONE set today.

And that didn't happen. If you are upset about that, you have my sincere apology. I did try to make it happen, but I couldn't. I get the frustration.

But, I'm also getting some (very few, but some), who are asking to walk back on my decision, soldier up and finish the rest of set now now! ASAP.

And I have some saying that it's not fair I did this with the Shego set because I just wanted to work on a game project instead.

Let me be very VERY clear here.



1) I will NOT go back on this decision, and will not overwork myself just to get that set done as soon as possible. NOT going to happen. You'll get the rest of the set about, a 100 more pages I think. NEXT month.


2) If  your only take away from my initial post is "He wants to make games", then sorry to say, but you brushed over the part where I mentioned mental health issue due to stress and overwork to meet deadlines. (Writing a 200 page + image story is no joke. It's draining, and takes a LONG time).

Now if you're one of these folks. Know that I understand how you feel and was expecting some to react like this it. Yes, I did say I wanted to deliver the Shego set not as a split but as a last FULL set before I made the change. So yep, understand why this might rub some of your the wrong way. 

But you are SO wrong as to WHY I decided to still do the split now in the end.

I didn't talk too much about the mental stress and anxiety part because... I don't like to lay out my personal issues on others. It's not something I want just lay out to my supporters. It's my business and it's my job to deal with it. I shouldn't impose myself on you.

So while I did mention it in my initial post about the up coming changes I didn't want to go too much into it.

But... Since some of you seem to think that I splitted the set because I was ... selfish? Well yeah... But I thought making game this week would be more fun, The reason is far more shall we  say... Not so fun...

But alright then. I didn't want to get into this, but hey... If I have to explain, I'll explain.

This weekend, as I was working my ass off to get the Shego set done ASAP, I worked until 4 AM. (Mind you, I didn't take a single break, not even on weekend for the past month). When I woke up Saturday? I lost my balance and almost passed out. My body was NOT having it.

That is when I decided: SCREW it. I'm not doing this..

Rather then risking a total burnout, I decided to make the change NOW. I understand this might come as a bad surprise to some. But I had to do it.

Yes, I did use the remaining day to do game dev (At a CHILL and RELAXED pace). Happy, and god forbid ACTUALLY enjoying myself rather then forcing myself to "just  get  the 200+ pages ready by the 2nd  of the month or ELSE?".

If I reach a point where making image sets for the day is something I dread doing rather then Enjoy, then I think a change has to happen. So... I made a call. I decided to split the Shego set. And finish it later. 

It will benefit NO ONE to force myself to the point of breaking down and just stopping for days or weeks to recover from a burnout. I'm not there yet, but believe me. I could feel I was going there.

So yes, I took a decision, came back on what I said about finishing the Shego set in ONE go and decided to split it to allow my brain to just... BREATHE. Just BREATHE for a few days... Not to just take break. No no... I still worked. I still made content. I didn't take no vacation here.

But to do my work in a way that  is Healthy and enjoyable.

I hope that this gives you a better understanding as to why I felt I had to apply the changes now. 

But if you still feel upset about this after I explained this right here. and wish to not support me anymore. I perfectly understand, but if have to chose between my health and happiness over money? 

That's a VERY easy choice to make.

Still it is my hope that most of you, my loyal supporters who got my back.. Allowed me to do this as my JOB (What a dream. I'm SO SO VERY grateful for that), will understand that I have done nothing but work my ass off to deliver content into your hands. To the point that I dare say, I pushed my mental and creative limits to meet expectation. 

I still very much intend to pour ALL my energy into my I do and give LOTS LOTS of content for you all to enjoy and more...

All that I ask... Is to be allowed to breathe. To actually create this content not because it is a chain around my neck but because I'm passionate about doing it.

That when I'm entering the last week of the month, I don't have to stress and bite nails because "Oh no! If I want to do the story of the set the way I wanted it to, I still have 100 MORE pages to go and I'm running out of time Better get ready for some sleepless nights and cancel all my plans for the weekend".  Not going to keep doing that sorry. Splitting the sets when needed allows to be more flexible while still deliver you,  I dare say... CHUNKY content each month. (I mean seriously, Part 1 of the shego set is 130 Pages long. Sure it ain't finished, but if that's not acceptable then dang are you demanding.)

The only alternative to splitting the set in two? Make 70 page per set and DONE. No more then that from now. But then, You would not have the nice sets you had until now. Is that really what you want? 

I believe splitting it, spreading the workload a bit is the BEST compromise. For everyone.

That's it, sorry for an other announcement today, but I wanted to get this out ONE time and get it over with.

I perfectly understand if anyone is kinda bumped out that they didn't get the full finished Shego set this month. Yes I know I said I would, but I just reached my near breaking point, and had to do something NOW.

I hope this long explanation will help alleviate doubts about my intention when I decided to make the split now. And that they will understand why I had to do it.

If some of you feel that it's not acceptable and wish to leave, I hold no grudge against you. It's your money you are perfectly entitled to decide how you spend it.

But save yourself the trouble of asking me to go back on my decision. It's not going to happen.

For those of you who chose to stick around, THANK YOU. And I promise, only good things will come from this (Regardless if you are here just for my image set, the games, or femboy stuff).

Thanks for you attention and support as always. This will be the last time I'll make an announcement mentioning my personal stress. But I felt that is was necessary due to false assumptions being made.

Still, you have my apology for splitting the Shego when I said I would not.
Sucks, I understand. But I had to do it.

That's about it.

Take care.
