Monthly Update: Uplifting Downshifting Edition

Another month, another monthly update! As most important things have already been covered in previous updates, this will be a short post that will mostly summarize them.

My eyesight is pretty good now after the operation. It's not as good as it used to be, but looks like it will stay in acceptable shape. Almost feels like it has been slowly improving too, but that might just be placebo. A long period of screen time or some dry, cold winter air makes my left eye a bit wobbly and unfocused, but as long as I leave it enough time to rest it feels pretty good compared to what it used to be. So, looking good.

Offcuts 0.4 is again in semi-active development, I'm going through any existing issues, typos and other minor things to fix. As mentioned, I'll try to aim the release in a good slot so that I can start working on new stuff immediately afterwards. The biggest change will be that I will be working only 4 days (instead of the normal 5 days) at my work after December. This is mostly to keep the eye strain down (just in case), but I'm also interested to see how this little downshifting works for me. Naturally, it leaves me a lot more time to do other things, including this little hobby of mine, so expect some new movements afterward.

And what about after 0.4 is out? There's a lot of new things planned and even already partly done, but I need to figure out what the direction will be. I'll plan to ask for opinions once that comes up. Some possible choices are continuing with new Offcuts story arcs or even starting some completely new stories with new characters. But I'll likely do some polling about this later, I currently don't have a strictly preferred choice myself. And, of course, all this assuming that my eyesight stays in good enough shape to continue at all. That's all for now, check out the previous update posts if you want more information about any of the things I have mentioned.

As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!
