A personal update
Posted: 13 Jul 2016, 16:48
I've been entirely off the radar lately, and I feel like I owe you guys an explanation.
Real-life has been all-consuming lately. My family has taken turns going into and out of the hospital, which is emotionally draining in the extreme but also a serious strain on time and finances. I've been fortunate enough that I work freelance so my schedule can accommodate sudden, ridiculous schedule shifts, but at the same time working freelance means my income is directly reliant on having the time/willpower to make sure I get enough work done to keep the lights on. I'm mostly successful at the latter, but it has left little time or mental processing power for game development and writing.
It's a bitter-sweet experience being this close to the thing being done. If I could afford to take a week off, we'd already be done. It's just finding the time and energy to do so with everything else going on.
In any case, I wanted to keep you guys up to date. And apologize. And thank you guys for sticking around as long as you have. I'm attempting to carve out enough time/space/whatever to get progress happening again. I might even catch back up on all the forum activity that I've been unable to read.
Regards,
Malloy
