Hi everyone!
It’s been a long time since my last public update, and I’ve struggled with how much to share. But since so many of you are eager for more Hardenville, I feel I must.
This past year has been incredibly tough for me. Before starting work on AVN, I couldn’t understand why so many developers abandoned their projects. How could that happen? Now, I think I understand, it’s personally very difficult to develop a project like this.
You’re creating a story, shaping characters with distinct personalities. But because it’s an AVN, you often keep it secret, even from those closest to you. You worry about judgment because your story includes sexual themes. It can feel isolating, like being locked in your own room. You quickly discover a side of the web that carries many complex meanings, and even when you try to stay guarded, it can still affect you. It’s a sad reality, but it’s one I’ve had to learn.
Despite these challenges, things are improving. I still stand by my main promise, even though there have been far more delays than I ever wanted or expected. Many of these were due to mental health struggles, and some of these will be reflected in MC’s storyline.
Do you know why I won’t give up? It’s because I’ve found incredible friends in our community, people who are caring, understanding, and supportive. That makes a huge difference.
And then there are the characters I’ve created in Hardenville. Even though many of you haven’t seen much of them yet or know the full story, I do, and I care deeply about them. I won’t let their stories “disappear” until Hardenville is completed, as promised. Hardenville may end up being my first and last AVN, but I will see it through, even if it takes longer than expected.
Thank you all. I know I’m not the only one facing mental health challenges and tough months, many of us do. And I care about you, too.
