It’s been far too long since I last update to you and I know it. I’m in this weird space where I feel like I owe you guys something, but I also feel like I don’t have enough to share to make it worthwhile. I pop onto the discord every so often to let folks there know I’m still plugging away, but that isn’t enough. To go 5 months without an official Patreon update isn’t a good look – and for that, I apologize. Truthfully, I didn’t realize THAT much time had gone by. I need to do better and giving you updates, even if it is just to let you guys know that I still have a pulse and I’m working on the game.
As you guys know, like so many people, this “new normal” turned my world upside down and I’m honestly still adjusting and making the best of the situation we’re all in. I don’t have the free time in the day that I used to when I was making MSMR. I’m a one-man operation, doing all the writing, programming, and rendering myself, and outside of this game development thing I have a real life and job. Balancing everything can be difficult, especially when my life is crazy. I work on the next game when I find a spare moment here and there, or the times late at night when I can’t sleep, and it is always the best way for me to decompress. If making the game stresses me out, I’m doing something wrong. This is what I do to reduce stress, not add to it. Making the game as always been an enjoyable thing for me, like some people enjoy building something out of Legos or woodworking (which was my hobby before I became a NSFW game dev) or doing puzzles. Being a game dev is that outlet for me. I love the process of creating something out of nothing, and the fact that you guys are here to support me, means more than you’ll ever know. And that’s why I feel shitty when I don’t have a substantial update for you. And why I need to be better about that. At least letting you guys know that I’m working.
So, before anyone asks: No, I don’t have a timeline for the release. As I’ve said, I work on this when I can. Some weeks, I’m able to put in 10-15 hours on it, other weeks, I can only put in 2 hours. I never expected this initial release to take nearly as long as it has, but my real-life schedule has been tough to balance everything. My commitment to you is the same as it’s always been: I will continue making the best story and game I possibly can and as long as my Patreon is active, I am actively working on the next game. I understand that my schedule (or lack thereof) is different than a lot of other devs, and that may not be for everyone and I may lose supporters because of that. I do the best I can and try to be as open as I can with you guys about that. As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support as I’m creating my next thing.
Peace and love,
Sumodeine
