A problem
First of all, I want to apologize to you guys, since not everyone knows why the updates have been coming out with such a small amount of content. I’m not really the kind of person who likes to share personal problems online - especially when those problems drag on for a long time without being solved.
I’ll try to give you a bit of context about what’s been going on. I’ve had some serious emotional issues that started after breaking up with my first girlfriend - I just couldn’t work at all. Some time later, I got married, and we had a child. During that time, I tried to spend as much time as possible with my family and also worked an extra job, since the money from Patreon wasn’t enough. The marriage lasted three years, and then we finally split up - with no chance of getting back together. That happened about a month ago, and since then, I’ve fallen back into the same problems and am now trying to pull myself out of it. I quit my side job, and right now I just can’t even think about continuing the story of Happy Summer.
That’s why I wanted to write this and tell you a bit about myself and what’s happening. I need to recover, and honestly, I have no idea how to do that yet - maybe things will just get better with time.
The most important thing is: I will finish HS and continue developing SW, no doubt about that. I made a promise to myself long ago that I would never again leave any of my projects unfinished after MLS was put on hold.
But for now, I just need to ask you to be a little patient. I’ve been trying to get back to normal life all this time - and I almost managed to - but somehow ended up right back where I started.
Sorry if this post brought anyone down - unfortunately, not everything in life goes the way you plan it.
But everything will be okay. I promise I’ll get back to work as soon as I can.

No fundo todos temos problemas, e o ruim disso e que não sabemos como resolver e muito menos continuar, viver e uma experiência que poucos conseguem e vc está aqui, não conheço vc e muito menos a sua trajetória mais, se vc está aqui e pq vc não desistiu e continua lutando todos os dias pra se tornar alguém melhor.
Nunca es fácil pasar por una separación mis mejores deseos y que pronto te sientas mejor
Ánimo hermano tu puedes eres un chingon
Everything will get better , the main thing is not to lose heart .
Hope better days will come.
Caizer, stay strong. Thanks for being open – that takes courage. I’ve also been through a lot (won’t go into details), and what helped me were simple things: tea breaks, meditation with breathing, and a bit of yoga. They ground you, clear the noise, and bring the focus back to the most important thing – yourself. I’m living a new life now and finally building the game I dreamed of since childhood. I suggest looking toward tea + meditation with breathing and yoga – it’s deeply relaxing. Take the time you need; we’ll be here. Wishing you strength and clarity. ❤️
Brother, take your time, with all confidence, don't feel obligated. We all go through problems and yours are serious. I'm sorry to hear that a lot, but don't feel bad. Everything has a solution, bro. I hope you get better. Greetings from Peru. I look forward to your work. Good luck, bro.
Dude. A marriage is more important. This is just some game. I would rather have this game be abandoned than that you ruin your marriage over it.
That happens because of our problems, game developing has 0% affect. Marriage important only when it's important for both, when opposite - marriage cost nothing. But thank you anyway, I get what you mean.
Take your time, and don't push yourself hard. Update / month every month is already more than most other devs do, so don't feel guilty for taking time out.
All good things takes time and the hardest struggles there is, is the ones within. Hang in there. Take your time ❤️
tal vez no hable ingles y posiblemente no se entienda pero, mucho animo desde latinoamerica espero que te mejores.
Just do what you need to do to get your head in a healthy place. I'm sorry you're going through this. Don't worry about the game right now unless working on it or completing it helps you feel better. Best wishes.
Sigue esforzandote vas bien solo no te detengas aca hay un fan que espera lo logres
Братан держись - все у тебя получится, меньше парься больше уделяй времени себе сейчас.
Don't feel bro😢
Please focus on yourself first, your mental well being is significantly more important than your games. I wish the best of luck and you feel better soon.
don't worry friend, take all the time you need, To heal, you have to start from within, so take all the time for yourself, find other activities, go out with friends/family and leave the past behind. I love HS, but if a break is necessary, I think we all agree that there is no problem and we support you.
Hey, sometimes we have happy moments and think they'll last forever, but sometimes, they don't end the way we think. Why? Because we gain the experience we need to be prepared for truly immense happiness in the future, which will definitely be with us forever. I'm telling you as someone who's been in such pits myself. However, the only difficult thing is getting through this stage. However, when there are people around you who are ready to help you or just listen, don't be afraid to share it with them, and don't think your feelings are unimportant. Just talk about it with someone. And it's so cool that you decided to at least tell us about it! Our strength is formed in our vulnerabilities. Spend as much time on yourself as you need now. We're always here for you.
I went through the same thing and I can say it was a struggle. But keep your head up. focus on what you can do now and not what could have been. I'm a vet and my mental health therapist told me something that got me back on my feet and ill tell you what he said. Think of your life like a clock it tics in one direction. It doesn't live int the past nor does it thinks about the future, it only focus on the present. That being said, what happened in the past is in the past, we aren't promised the future but what we can do with ourselves is focus on the now and work towards that future. Once you can embodie what that means you can work on yourself towards your goals. Stay focused brother it will get better trust me. It will take time, but it will get better.
Bro i read you post unfortunatly i live in Cuba and dont have the posibility to suport you but i do it if i cant rosie is one of my favorite waifus and now i got a acrilic figure of her stay strong caizer you can do this i know it 💪

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I hope you're able to find your way through it.
mejórate bro. Y no es por ser mala onda pero has considerado ir al psicólogo o si no hay mucho dinero puedes comentarlo a tus amigos más cercanos. Antes yo leia historias de Reddit, no se como este ahora pero puedes desahogarte ahí si quieres. Queda todo en tu decisión. Gracias por el buen juego . Take care
Bro te seguimos de muchos países, esperamos que estás bien, y que nada te pase, se te quiere mucho en esta comunidad
You got this ❤️❤️
Cheer up bro, I know you can get ahead, it's not easy but I know you'll make it. Cheer up, don't give up. Best regards.
