Dev Update 10/07/2020 (Patreon)

Update time!

Yeah so this is going to be another one of those real talk updates. As you may have noticed, I paused the patreon for August. This is for two reasons. The first is that Phoenix isn't yet returning to work. I have no intention of rushing her (baby bonding time is more important than what is essentially my hobby, in case that wasn't obvious). So I'd rather pause the project for another month instead. The second reason is that I'm looking at some minor inconveniences in the next few weeks which will lead to me working on the project a lot less than usual. It seems unreasonable for me to charge you all while not putting in my usual effort (such as it is). It's nothing serious and you shouldn't worry, work will continue (at a lower rate) during this month and should get back to normal afterwards. I will be using some of that time to recharge some of the creative energy that the current situation is actively draining.

I will continue to provide these weekly updates as proof of life during August but they may just be me rambling about unrelated things for a while. I'm a big believer in self care and not overextending yourself as a way to ensure long term projects actually get completed. Especially on solo projects. So while I'll understand completely if you decide to take your pledges elsewhere. I want to make it 100% clear that this slow down is in no way me abandoning the project, the opposite, it is me making sure I actually have the capacity to work on it long term.

Have a better week!
