2024 "Resume"

I decided to leave a post about why this year has been so difficult not only for me, but for the entirety of "Studio Alorth".
Calling this year just bad, would be an understatement, it was more like a nightmare.

Our manga drawing artist. Mr.woods has disappeared. He lives in Venezuela and presumably in a zone were things like "war" and public dissatisfaction isn't uncommon. It's been almost a year now and we have to assume the worst case and conclude that he passed away.

Our artwork drawing artist, Mr.takealook, lives in North Korea and he told me in advance, that he was under police investigation and that he would need to go silent for some time.
We're presuming that he has been arrested, since his work had legal issues in his country.

One of my staff that helped a lot with rendering, had some kind of breakdown because of personal issues, affecting his mental stability. It's been difficult to cooperate with him after it and therefore our production speed dropped.

One of my co-developer projects is dropping in income because of the lack of updates, due to the lack of someones responsibility, lack of motivation, health issues or I don't know what it is.

There has been a lot of difficulties with "publicity", this could be said, is due to the lack of consideration of certain people that leak my games in a bad way.

So we're in a really bad spot right now, not only due to lack of staff to continue certain plans, but also financially.
I'm barely hanging on right now since i live in a expensive country and there is no way for me to change that at moment.
I will soon be forced to probably make a decision... either finding a job to temporarily sustain my work or release a new game that is more marketable. Doing so while not affecting my current projects of course, which isn't exactly easy.
