Last explanation and to make all this clear

Hello everyone. You may know me as Natelly, but my real name is Natalia.

I've been making games with belly buttons for a while now. My big "hit" was Surf the Belly, my first RPG, and it's crazy how I was able to develop such a long game and it being my first big project.

Currently, as you know, I'm working on the remake (or reboot) of SELENA Belly Story, my first game. I've been developing for a long time and I've been very ambitious about it (which maybe I shouldn't have been).

First of all, although it's of little use at this point because I've already done so many, I apologize for (once again) not delivering. That alone should make my face look ashamed. Before you follow, I'm not canceling SELENA Belly Story.

What happened this time? Well, my biggest curse... me.

For many years, I've been struggling with that feeling that I'm worthless, that I don't deserve what I have, and that I'm doing everything wrong. I haven't had the best luck in my life, let's say... but I don't want to talk about it too much. During the development of Surf the Belly, I was really stressed out, even crying at night because of the stress... with SBS, there were days of crying because of the helplessness of not having things go my way (excessive perfectionism? I don't know...)

And in July, something happened on my vacation that I hadn't thought about... At first, I thought about doing it, until one day I actually tried it, and you can imagine... basically getting out of the way.

If it weren't for my boyfriend, I probably wouldn't be writing this.

Still... I'm not completely well, but I'll still get on with what I have to do. First of all, I'll clear up a few things.

SBS will continue until I finish it. I don't know when it will be finished, but I'll take the time I need.

You can stop supporting me on Patreon (it would be logical, since I haven't done what I promised) and your names will still appear in the game credits.

I'll continue to upload updates when there are any, whether for free or on Patreon.

I think... it's time to slow down with this, and this time for real. Because more than once I've wanted to take this more calmly and I've been so stupid not to. It was logical that this would end up blowing up in my face.

I don't know when the update will finally be available in August... but it will happen.

And finally, thank you for the support. Even if you hate me now or you'll simply stop supporting me and hearing from me, at some point you believed in me... and I have to appreciate that, even if I haven't appreciated you myself.

A hug to everyone and... I hope to see you soon.
