lol, I deleted a bunch of messages with people calling each other burger flippers and said in the notification "Let's not get personal, please" and that = authoritarian, eh? smh

Either way, everyone has made their points and now the posts are just an argument. Please drop it now.

Here's how we know he hasn't taken a vacation in 4 years:

"Hi everyone, it’s about damn time I gave you all an update. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been having a few problems in my personal life which have taken a toll on my health. It’s now been more than FOUR full years that I’ve been developing adult games without taking a vacation. (Not even once!)"

Unless you think he's lying.

Here's what I know - he said:
"I’m completely broken and exhausted, so I need a break to recover. I’ll be taking a month or two away from developing to get my health back on track."

and

"I pushed myself too hard."

and

"This should help me avoid getting burned out again."

I choose to take his statements at face value. So, we get that he's burned out, and at the end of his rope. He feels he needs a break, so he's taking one. He's paused his Patreon. He took too long to pause it for April, so he said he's going to keep it paused for the month he comes back to work.

You can believe him or not, that's your choice. But really, arguing about it here does nothing. We should stop before the mods slap us down.

All quotes are from the "News about v0.6" spoiler in the OP.
As a developer with MDots and a fan of ICSTOR - I know what a grind development can be ... it is also repetitious and done primarily in a solo work environment. Both have been cranking out product for years and I wholly support consistent vacations (and a least a 1 month full one) each year.

Sorry, I missed the mod post above.

Btw, isn’t it great we are getting cutting edge developement from at least 4 different artists?. The top developers just keep bringing better and better product.

For those of you whose wondering if he's lying, I cannot say for sure (especially when he posted it on April 1st), but I am a fan of his other work, and know he's one to take the time and finish it. So with that said, I do believe he's in the process of resting and recuperating.

personally i like the sister's stories to progress like the mother before he starts introducing more food to the fray. it just feels like a waste introducing new characters when the other characters are basically stucked..
