I have been experiencing severe pain consistent with nerve compression, which is affecting my left shoulder and especially my heart. This severe level of nerve compression, likely in the neck or upper back, is resulting in referred pain, where the sensation radiates to my chest and feels like sharp stabs in my neck, heart, and back. In addition to this sharp, radiating pain, I’m also experiencing shortness of breath, likely due to muscle tension or nerve irritation affecting the chest muscles, making it difficult and painful to breathe deeply.
What got me worried the most was the fact that my heart had been making a strange noise when beating in certain positions. I can't really describe it, but it was the scariest part despite the intense pain.
These issues may have been caused by spending too much time working at my desk, staying there the whole day after returning from work, and falling asleep in my chair and doing so continuously for several weeks. Given the intensity of the pain, I’m closely monitoring the symptoms and seeking medical attention to rule out any other serious conditions, such as heart issues, and to get appropriate treatment for the nerve compression.
I would like to say that despite all of this, it doesn't excuse the fact that I've given dates and weren't able to finish in time. I have estimated the time needed based on my experience making the two first updates of the game. But this is completely different since I'm taking more time to make renders with better quality. And the fact that for the last two weeks, I couldn't sit at my desk, and the work that I was able to do, I did by trying to lay on my bed and move the screen closer which is quite uncomfortable, but better for me than sitting in my desk which is not only painful, but It gets harder and harder to breathe the more I'm there.
I'm passionate about making video games, and I can't stress the fact that what pushed me to make a full remake despite not having as much funding as I had imagined seeing other people's experiences is the fact that I love and enjoy doing this and I have a huge obligation to make games, not only for the people that believe in me but for myself too.
Thanks to everyone who supported me, and everyone that continues to support me. I can't stress making this update good since I know a chance like this to start again won't come another time, but once I finish this update, I'll finally be able to move on faster and more consistently than before, especially since I planned out the story fully.
Again, thank you all, and I sincerely apologize for giving a date and not being able to finish by it, and for not taking care of my health which caused me to end up this way.
I'll be making a progress update this week with a poll for this month's special renders.
Again, I apologize sincerely for not sticking to the date I set despite what happened and I'm thankful to you all for sticking with me this whole time.
Thank you.
