Hey all... I've got some bad news.
In the past week, I've spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals, babysitting my sister's kid and looking after my father as well, and I haven't been able to get much of anything done. In fact, I've become very disheartened with my ability to finish what I started - for now.
The baseline is there, I've got the story planned and written, I've got the character arcs I want to see happen, added in the various items and skills and things... and the game crashes repeatedly. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this one out. I've reached out to others in the community, and to the RPM forums as well, nobody can see what I've done wrong (I had to be super vague about what this game was, since it's a public forum for everybody.)
To that end, I've decided to put this on hold for the time being - Dad's getting better and my life is about to become a whole lot more hectic now that my 'vacation' from work is over (read:full-time employment instead of part-time), so this is gonna have to go on the back burner.
This is not me giving up! I will finish this, I will post something once in a while, and I'm right in the middle of transferring everything that I can from the current version of the game into the newest version. It'll take longer than usual, though, and I'm sorry for that.
HUGE, MEGA thanks to each and every one of you for supporting me, this was a fantastic boost and a wonderful way to spend a few months working on something. If you're looking for more of this kind of thing, please contact Chilly Scholar in his Mod thread, he's really nice and super-awesome; also, consider becoming a patreon supporter for NergalsNest so that he can continue to make incredible games and freely lets other people mod.
I'll be around for a while yet, just got one last 'patch' to get up onto a DL site - it should have the Persuasion ability unlocked in it so you can progress with story-line things again, as well as the babysitting stuff I promised a month ago (You have NO idea how pissed at myself I am at that, it was supposed to take two days, not four weeks...!).
See you out there in the wide, wide forums of F95Zone.
Sincerely,
Demonic Pony Xalenda
