The year 2023

Greetings to all. This is probably the last time I will write this year. It has been an interesting and meaningful year. Despite a lot of setbacks (war, conscription, blackouts), this year has seen thousands of letters added to Lucy's story. What's more, a new story has begun to take shape in a completely different form, in a completely different place - the farm.

I learned a lot during the year. For example, through mini-games I learned how different new mechanics work, but this year I also learned how to condition certain events in the game, how to make a stamina system, how to create loops, etc. Thanks to Lucy's story, I learned a lot about my mistakes and how to correct them. I've learned to schedule how much the characters change, how much they should change in an update, so I've learned not to rush, to give time for an event to unfold.

Because I learned a lot of new things, some parts of the game are completely different and that's what I don't like, so I started working on a new story in the background. I'm trying to use the knowledge I've gained over the year in this one. (In the future, everyone will get a short presentation of the new game. It will not only be new in its story, but also in its appearance. However, all this does not mean that I am going to end Lucy's story and stop making updates. So I'll get on to what's coming in January.

The next update is for the Life on the Farm version. The last update ended on Sunday morning, and the story continues from there. I planned 5 and a half days. So from Sunday - Friday. I've already started putting together the outline of events. Now the focus of the story is Elsa's marriage. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't played with the previous update) Billy's story continues. Of course I haven't forgotten the homeless. Also, one of the 5 days will be the mountain hike that Lucy was invited to in the last update.

I have one more important announcement to make about the upcoming update. One of you has contacted me and made me an offer I can't refuse. He offered me a larger amount of money and all he asked for in return was more content for the " animal friendly " version. I accepted his offer, so in the next update a new job will be available for Lucy: Veterinary Assistant. I'm done with the script for these scenes. All that's missing are the right gifs. She asked me not to put her name here. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her and I would like to thank you all.

Thank you all for your support, every dollar you spend on me. I am indescribably grateful to you all. I wish you all a Happy New Year! See you next year.
