Health is very important, I wish you well and hope the tests come back negative. Hang in there!You must be registered to see the links
Hey everyone! Before we get into the post proper, I'm afraid I have to apologize again for having a larger-than-intended gap between update posts. This time, I think I have a fairly understandable reason for it though, as I had a pretty major health scare. Those of you who have been around for a while may remember that my father passed away a number of years ago, from stage 4 colorectal cancer. I won't get into detail with my symptoms, but basically, I had some health issues crop up that could have been pointing towards colorectal cancer for myself. Since my father had it, and I've already had various gut issues over the years, there was serious potential for that to be the case. Needless to say I've been pretty fucking terrified, especially with my generally mediocre health and high aptitude for anxiety.
To make a long story short, though, I'm completely fine! It took a lot longer than I would've liked to get appointments and everything lined up, so the past 1-2 months have been nerve-wracking for me, and my work speed has unfortunately suffered (but not ceased for once!) - but I finally had a colonoscopy, and there was nothing serious at all. The symptoms I was experiencing are from mundane, far less terrifying things. The only abnormality they found was a 7mm polyp, which was removed and tested; we just got the results from that back a day or two ago, and it was completely benign, so until further notice, I have a clean bill of colon health! My doctor wants me to come back for another one in 5 years, which I fully intend on doing; even though I'm lucky enough to be fine now, I'm still at risk of developing it eventually, but at least now I know it hasn't been secretly ravaging my innards throughout the years leading up til now.
I'm still kind of reeling from the experience of a cancer scare, but I'm so damn glad I just got the testing over with as soon as it became a possibility. My father might still be around if he had done the same, but he ignored his symptoms until it was way too late, and I didn't want that to happen to me too. The experience of getting a colonoscopy is pretty miserable (specifically the prep - iykyk), but the peace of mind is beyond worth it.
Now that all of that is done,

With how many times he and developers like him have pulled that card before, having to go in detail means it's more likely to be legit.

Considering the fact there was like a how long period where he didn't work on the game because he was depressed. As evident in his discord, he has really really thin skin and can be affected by simply having people negatively talking about a game consistently in it's respective chat because the game is definitely in the shitter because the company behind is fucking stupid.
Yeah, he has to be a bit more detailed for people to believe him.

Yeah it's probably the fact that you get paid a lot and don't really need to work if you post "progress reports"
I'm not sure it's as much as people think. People think of a person getting a thousand dollars and think it's a lot, but almost nowhere is 1000/mo enough to live on unless you live out of your car. Even a payday of 10k means nothing yearly anymore... so if you're trying to run a software company making eroge you need to bank in excess of 10k per month, but that's just for one person. Multiply it for trying to hire anyone to work for you.
Otherwise you're "making a lot of money" but really still have to work another job. And the real law of work is if you have to work two jobs you aren't making a lot of money, no matter what things you buy with the money.
Anyway I just noticed that guys who develop H content tend to go crazy regardless of how successful they are. Them going crazy faster the more successful they are could be because uh, its making their life easy and that makes you crazy? Probably not. It's probably something else. But what could it be?

Is it really necessary to point out the elephant in the room?
Porn is harmful to the brain, and the creators of NSFW content, in the form of donations, experience a tremendous burden on both their minds and bodies. Greater risk of depression, easier burnout, generally no fun. Of course, generally speaking, each person is different.

There's only two people working on this project, Anon and Orexius, they pull in about ~$5890 a month which puts them at pulling in ~$70k a year. If we consider their cut being 50/50. they're both making ~35k a year. What is Orexius' daily dev log update?
"-Continued work on a new H-scene animation"
Which started in July, it's been nearly 5 months of working on what I can only assume is the same animation. I figure he works on it for probably like 2 hours a day, because that's the only way this little of progress would be getting done.

I'm aware, I've been following this project since 2017, the only actual things that are contracted work is the voice acting and that is kind of... Middling to be honest. Regardless, they legitimately get barely anything done in a year; it's wild. What is crazy to me, is the guy who did Night of Revenge, did EVERYTHING in that game by himself, coding, art, animating, design, just everything; and he started later. He had actual health problems that stopped him from working, and still managed to get out a full game before this one even has anything of substance.
I can't wait for this project to be milked for years to come.
