What’s happening and my plan for the futur
Hello everyone,
So I think it's time I talked to you and explained how I'm doing and where the development of “How I became the bodyguard of the Saintess!” is standing.
I guess most of you have noticed that releases are taking longer and longer, with the one I'm currently working on being exceptionally late.
The answer probably won't surprise anyone; it's a very common problem among developers, and it can be summed up in three words: real-life issues.
First of all, I think it's important to be clear on one specific point: the game is not on hold, nor has it been canceled, nor anything of the sort. Right now, I'm editing the next release, which means I'm in the very last stage before the release of the next chapter in Angelica's story. Plus, there aren't many chapters left before the end, so there's no way I'm going to stop now that I'm so close to the finish line.
There's also the fact that I have another project in mind that I'd really like to share with you. So no, unfortunately, you're going to have to support me a little more. Probably a lot more, in fact.
But anyway, the release is late. And it's probably not going to get any better with the next ones coming after.
I mentioned problems in my personal life. More specifically a new job. I'm not going to go into the details of my private life, but I have a lot more work and my schedule is completely disrupted. Sometimes I work at night, sometimes very early in the morning, sometimes on weekends, etc.
And when I have a little free time to work on the game, I'm really tired, more than I would have imagined. The result is easy to guess: I spend much less time developing the game than I used to. There are still periods when I manage to make some progress, but it's not much.
My current job is temporary; that was always the plan. So it should change at some point. Unfortunately, that won't happen anytime soon.
Here we are. I should have mentioned this earlier, I suppose. The only excuse I can give is that I thought I could manage. Until I couldn't anymore. For now, I have no choice but to ask you to be patient. As I said earlier, the game is still progressing, but it's taking longer than expected.
I'd also like to thank everyone who has supported me so far. You guys are amazing, I couldn't have gotten this far without you. I'm sorry you have to wait so long, you don't deserve this. Unfortunately, there’s no other choice for now.
That’s all for me. I’ll give some news soon concerning the next release.
