Work, Love, Sickness (Patreon)

Things didn't work out last month like I wanted, so I didn't hit the milestones I was hoping to hit, but I know I have to stop just forgetting to properly update people so I wanted to go over what has been going on.
When it comes to life, work has been more demanding of me then I expected. I have often hit 50-60 hour weeks and then once I get home I have to take care of my kids. It's been worst due to some sickness, and just last week I have been dealing with the death of someone close. It's all been a gut punch.
When it comes to the game, I have tried my best to get it updated with more substance. I want the next build to have not only the voted characters but some different "racial" types, like a shortstack race. I want a level that actually has some light gameplay hooks, at least for the story segments. Performance has also been tough, and I had to redo some material settings to try and make it so certain hungry material trees could be disabled depending on if a character uses the feature or not (tattoos, glowing eyes, etc). All of these I have been trying to mess with in what amounts to a half hour a day at most.
I know it can be hard to wait, but I hope everyone can hold on a little longer. I don't want to give an ETA yet as I don't want to add expectations I can't make again, but just know I am trying.
