December Update & Info
Added 2023-12-02 09:47:30 +0000 UTCHello. Hope you're all doing well.
Here's where we're at as of December.
I am currently working on three things—renders for some Elysium content, animations for Stranded in Space Day 19, and the framework of a second project that I'm quite excited about.
For now, the key component out of those three is the second project.
What does that mean? Well, it means I'm not ready to give a release date for the next content update for Stranded in Space. My focus for the month of December is to lay the framework for my second project. This means establishing the rhythm of how I'll be working on it alongside Stranded in Space.
Having said that, I need you guys to know that Stranded in Space is not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere, either. I know this AVN world regularly has devs that disappear or projects that get abandoned, so I know hearing about how I'm focusing on a second project might worry you.
There is no chance of that happening. Zero. I am not going anywhere. In fact, you can yell at me over this decision in the comments of this post or on the Discord (as I still check it every day) if you'd like - I will read it and my self-esteem will lower accordingly.
Anyway, my goal is to have a preview post for the second game within the month of December. Regardless, I will continue to work on Stranded in Space and provide more information about the next content release sometime in the near future.
Oh, and I will provide a bit more context regarding this decision at some point within the Discord. I'll answer any comments below, too.
Either way, I'll keep you guys updated. I hope no one's too disappointed by this news.

Seriously, do things your way. SIS is awesome.

2023-12-15 02:02:46 +0000 UTCHonestly, if it means minimal wait between SiS and whatever the next game is, for any meaningful content anyway, I'm okay with it. I've seen devs that power through one project then everything just sort of sits idle for a few months before anything new is remotely ready for prime time. As he said, he doesn't work at blazing speed on releases as it is, and 'project 2' shouldn't cause any delays that weren't likely and somewhat predictable from the start anyway, so why not let things build in the background a bit?

2023-12-02 16:44:15 +0000 UTCThe content you put out is excellent, so you should follow your process your way. I’m excited for more of the same but excited for the next thing as well. Well done!

2023-12-02 12:18:11 +0000 UTCThe amount of time between Day 16 and Day 17 was more months than needs said out loud. Even before this post, it was established that I take a bit too long between releases—I would expect that to be the case for Day 19. In other words, I wouldn't expect this to affect the release date of Day 19 by any meaningful amount because much to all of our collective chagrins, it was going to be a while regardless.
