Update for everyone

Hello, and thank you all for joining me for another month of Bloodlines production.

As I told some of you before, I was in an accident a couple of weeks ago. My car was t-boned by a larger vehicle, my driver's door crumpled in on me, and I spent a good amount of time in the hospital and at doctors' offices.

The good news is that my doctors say the CT scans look good, and aside from some damage to my elbow, the x-rays look good, too.

Of course, there is some bad news. The aforementioned elbow is healing, I sustained burns on both of my hands due to a faulty airbag, and my head still isn't 100%.

I don't want you guys to worry, since this is all in the hands of the insurance companies and medical professionals, at the moment. However, the long calls with the adjusters and assessors have been taking up a lot of my time, and Bloodlines was already running behind schedule over the last couple of months.

I've put September 15th in the schedule as the release date for the Defiler tier, but there is an excellent chance we'll be running late throughout this month. As ever, the schedule is more of a goal than a promise--though I try to stick to it the best that I can.

Just know that I'm pushing through this the best that I can, and Bloodlines 0.86 is in production.
