[Progress Report] Stages 3-3 and 3-4 in the making & Numbness in My Right Hand
Apologies for not updating last week. It took a long time to calculate and apply for my tax return...!
[Progress]
◆Started production of the 3-3 and 3-4 stages and gimmicks
◆Fixed an issue where the camera wouldn't switch to the dedicated camera for wall jumps when wall jumping
That's all the progress!
Filing tax returns is too difficult! I'm so worried about whether I'm filing my taxes correctly!
But thanks to everyone's support, I was able to comfortably pay for my son's helmet therapy. Thank you so much! I'll continue to use the support money to help with my son's nursery school fees and to buy snacks!
Changing the subject a bit, I have been helping out at another department since November of last year, and ever since I started working there and having to carry small, heavy objects around repeatedly, my right hand has started to go numb whenever I hold something. Recently, it's gotten worse, to the point where I can't even hold a pen properly for even a minute. (I can use the mouse just fine, so I'm still able to create games.)
I'm planning to go to the orthopedic surgeon next Saturday, and based on the symptoms, it seems likely that I've suffered from an injury called "carpal tunnel syndrome." I hope he heals quickly...
[Update]
He won't eat any baby food! It's really hard because he only eats one or two bites and then refuses to eat anything else... He does eat fruit and rice snacks, though. It's hard to get them to eat!
He'll be starting nursery school next month, so I hope he'll be able to eat a little more baby food by then!

do NOT play around with wrist/hand problems. our hands have evolved to be extra complicated and effective and maneuverable, but at a cost -- they are substantially worse at healing than the majority of your body. anything that feels like permanent damage to your hands, very likely IS permanent damage. and there are no things that cause numbness that are not either damaging or very nearly damaging. source: i changed postures with how i use my laptop at work one time. i did it for 2 days, perhaps 6 hours a day, and it started making my hand a little sore towards the end of day 2. on day 3 i felt a weird clicking sensation and then numbness that startled me, and i waited an hour then VERY gently finished the day. an orthopedic surgeon i saw that night told me that that "clicking" was the threshold at which i was grinding away something that my body can never replace, and even gently finishing my workday did irreparable damage. i have a bad wrist for life because of this, and all i did was use my laptop in my lap for a couple of days. DO NOT play around with wrist injuries. as someone with wrist problems, and a buddy who is a pianist/gamer who ruined his hands from trying to be good at both things, take it from me.
The numbness in my hand made it really difficult for me to hold a pen for long periods of time, which is a sad symptom for me as my hobby is drawing. I've read reports online that if this injury is left untreated, it can cause the fingers to lose strength and cause people to drop things they are holding repeatedly, so it's really scary. I'm going to an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to get proper treatment, so don't worry!
I had surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgery itself doesn't take very long and isn't painful, it does take a few weeks to heal but nothing to be afraid of.
I see you had this injury too, and I'm glad to know that with treatment it will heal in a few weeks.
Hope you will heal quickly!
Thank you for your concern! I'll take care to recover quickly!
My best wishes for you and your family😓. Thank you for all your hard work so far.
Thank you! I'll continue to work hard on game development!
