Another Update
Added 2021-08-09 15:08:57 +0000 UTCHey all, just wanted to update everyone on where I'm at.
I am now mostly settled into my new home. My office is put together (after some struggles getting a new desk) and I have a workspace- just waiting on a new boob mousepad at the moment and everything will be complete. I've been carrying on with work- mostly implementing new assets as they come in from the team, but also trying to return to writing, mapping, and my other responsibilities.
I've started antidepressants in late July, and I'm not going to lie, they're playing a little rough with me. Brain fog and constant drowsiness has been a problem, and it makes it very difficult to focus on getting any writing done. But, on the other hand, waking up every day not wanting to die is pretty nice. I feel like I'm no longer burdened by constant self-defeating thoughts and anxieties.
Now, it'd be nice if I could have both the positive effects of this *and* still be able to make a game for everyone in a timely fashion, but I've only just started and it's going to take awhile to find a medication that works for me.
I'm hoping to be able to put out a major update this month, for both backers and, eventually, the public. I don't feel confident in my own writing abilities- don't be shocked if the dialogue quality takes a sharp turn for the worse- but you've all been so patient and I feel a general update with a new quest and some other content is well deserved.
Also- please look forward to some more streaming with Nekochan soon. Thank you all again for your faith and patience during this difficult time, and I'll be in touch soon.

I know firsthand that any medication can have profound effects on (at least perceived) creativity. The medication I take to treat my hypersomnia makes it really hard to write for my characters. Other players say they never notice any substantial change in my writing, but it just feels so hard. I end up rewriting the same paragraph just because it doesn’t feel right, even if there was probably nothing wrong with it. Don’t let that get you down!

2021-08-09 17:41:25 +0000 UTCDood, no worries. Getting resettled and readjusted not only takes time, but is stressful in and of itself. On a side note, I can empathize with worrying and struging with negative thoughts.... Kinda runs in my family in my case, and I've seen where it can end.... Shit's a struggle and the struggle is real. Just gotta remind yourself that youre not struggling alone*the hardest part) and that you've got ppl there for you (the easiest to forget/deny/straight ip miss). But then, playing your game and seeing you hang in there with it helped convince me to keep eorking on my own story. It ain't much, but you and HC inspired me to try and continue creating zomething personally maybe awesome too! Plus, I LOVE HC! It's got the right level of lewd in all the right ways and I enjoy being a jerkass with a heart of gold MC who gets the brocon sis! You got this! Sorry, rant aside.... I just meant, we're with ya!
