DevLog: I've Been Quiet...
Today's DevLog is gonna be different and shorter than usual... and a tiny bit more personal too.
Realistically and honestly, my motivation for the past few months has been blunted, but not gone. I've still been putting a few hours here and there and making progress towards the final scene of this update - I'm still so excited for this update and I'm still having fun with it.
But while being open and honest, I don't like to give too many details, nor do I like when someone give excuses or air their life's problems... I still want to give a slight insight into what's been going on.
A family member has a chronic illness that has been well-managed for the past few years - but unfortunately, the illness has progressed again. I'd rather not get into the details publicly but this means spending more time with them - appointments, treatment, helping out with random things, but also more mental stress. That's just sort of where my mental energy has been going lately.
It's worth remembering that this is still a hobby for me, but I'm still here, still working, still committed to this project. I just wanted you to actually know why, instead of just getting a quiet stretch of nothing.
Anyways. Thank you for sticking around and for the patience, it means a lot.
See you in the next one! ™️

You do you mate, no-one will fault you for making family a priority, as it should be. Trying to push yourself with something like this hanging over you could lead to negative association, equating feelings of mental fatigue, stress and tiredness with the work you were trying to push through at the time. So take some time, relax your mind and do what you gotta do to help them and keep yourself in check mentally. Take care mate and I hope it all works out for you and your family ❤️
