It’s Been a While — I’m Back

Hey everyone. It’s been a while.

First of all, I owe you an apology for disappearing for so long without giving any real updates. Even if development slowed down, I should have at least kept you informed instead of going completely silent.

There were a few reasons for it. I got pretty burned out after working on Evelina for a long time, and at the same time my personal situation changed quite a lot. I moved back to Russia, and because of the current restrictions I lost normal access to several services and payment methods I was using before. Patreon in particular has become a problem for me because I currently can’t properly withdraw the money from it.

But I don’t want this post to just be a list of excuses. The important part is that I’m back to development now.

Over the last months I’ve also changed the way I work quite a lot. I can now develop much faster than before, and financially I’m in a much more stable position, so I can spend significantly more time on my projects again.

Evelina is not abandoned. I’m coming back to it.

At the same time, I’ve been working on another game that is already approaching its first public playable build. I’ll show it properly very soon and release a public demo so you can see what I’ve been working on.

Because Patreon is currently difficult for me to use, I’m also building my own website for the projects. That will eventually become the main place for development news, downloads and support. I’ll explain the new support system separately once everything is ready.

For now, my plan is simple:

* return to regular development updates;

* finish and release the first demo of the new project;

* resume work on Evelina;

* launch the new website;

* stop disappearing for months without saying anything.

I know some of you have been here for a long time, and I genuinely appreciate that. I can’t undo the last six months, but I can be much more consistent from this point forward.

More updates soon.
