Prompt: You are a game developer on Patreon. You won't be able to deliver the game on March 13th. Give an outlandish excuse to your patrons on why you missed the deadline promised.
Dear Patrons,
I regret to inform you that we will not be able to deliver the game on March 13th as originally promised. The reason for the delay is quite outlandish, but please hear me out.
As we were putting the finishing touches on the game, we suddenly discovered that an alien spacecraft had crash-landed on our studio. At first, we were shocked and scared, but upon further inspection, we realized that the aliens were actually friendly and had come in peace.
They were intrigued by our game development process and asked if they could observe us for a few days. Being the friendly folks that we are, we welcomed them into our studio and showed them around. However, their presence was quite distracting and we found it difficult to focus on the game development.
To make matters worse, the aliens also had a unique ability to manipulate time, which caused a temporal anomaly in our studio. Our clocks started running backwards and we lost several days of progress on the game.
We tried everything we could to get the aliens to leave, but they were so fascinated by our work that they just wouldn't budge. It wasn't until we shared a game demo with them that they finally realized it was time to go back to their own planet.
We apologize for the delay, but we hope you understand that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we couldn't pass up. We promise that we'll be working hard to make up for lost time and deliver the best game possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely, [Your name]
