Dear valued Supporters,
I've been thinking for a while about how I was going to inform you all. Since I don't like to talk about my problems with others, I think it's becoming more and more evident that my progress in the 3D game is getting much slower. And I think it's time to share this with you, since you're the people who have put their trust in us. I just hope this whole situation passes and that I can keep my promise to you and to myself.
today I unfortunately have to make another post of a more personal nature. As I wrote a while back the reason for some of the delays where ongoing health issues with my kidneys which prevented me to sit in front of a computer (or any desk) for a prolongued time.
Unfortunately these issues are back and the pain is even more severe than before so that I am now at a point where I will require surgery to (hopefully) get this solved once and for all. disappointed face
I have been working on the game and created new renders as quickly as my health allows - the rest of the team is also still there and working in the background where possible. At the moment the development hinges on me producting renders and animations so you see the predicament we are currently in.
To be fully transparent the game is the major part of my income so I am absolutely dedicated to see this through, but I have to take care of this health issue to be able to continue in a steady way forward. So at the moment I save as much of my earnings for the upcoming medical bill - the rest of the team is also supporting me in that regard as they waived their share of our support earnings to fund my medical expenses until this is resolved.
So I will continue tp work as good as I can and I am already in the process of planing/preparing for the medical procedure.
I can’t say often enough how much I value your support - at this point more than ever before, as I hope you will understand.
Hope to be back to my old self and “speed” after this as I still want to give you the best possible Lara game with the best (and naughtiest) animations there are.
I’ll keep you updated - on the game's progress as well as my health situation as things progress.
Thank you for your understanding, support and help.
