Message from Dieselbrain
Judge Heath here,
Dieselbrain wanted me to pass this message onto you guys.

I want to let our patrons know that due to some medical problems IRL, December's HDs may be late, and possibly effect our timeline further depending on various factors. I've been feeling soreness and pain in my wrists in the past week and I'm worried that my work will only make it worse. I've spoken to a doctor and they agree that it sounds like early signs of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. In order to avoid irreparable damage I'm taking off until the 27th of December to see if I can heal, but if things aren't better by then, I'll be seeing a specialist and i can't say how long I'll away at that point. Thankfully we have Sethpup to continue putting in animation work, but still, I'm sorry this is happening, im very upset about this situation. I hope that I will heal quickly, so I'll be able to get back to work both to support myself and the team.

We're all doing our best to support him on our end, and we ask that you guys keep him in your thoughts.

Oh no! I wish Diesel well and hope he gets better! I have no problem with delays if it assures the dev team are able to stay healthy
Noooooo Diesel!!! 27th is too early to heal! rest more! I almost had it too in some time but i healed over Get well soon!
take your time and get better!!
Carpel tunnel is no joke, get well soon and take care!
I get the same thing. You do what you need to do.
take your time dude
Take as much time as needed, last thing you want is to fuck yourself up more, also be sure you've got someone on 'hand' to lend one, if you know what I mean wink wink nudge nudge.
I hope he get well
You could of said "Hey guys, it's the festive season and IM TAKING A BREAK!" and we'd probably have all been "fair enough, enjoy your time". But do get well, and enjoy not using those wrists.
That absolutely wouldn't have been fair to you guys, especially if this becomes a long term problem. You guys have to know these things because your money is what supports us. It affects whether or not you might think it's a good idea to give us more or less money. With that in mind we absolutely cannot hide the health of the crew making the game from you.
Get well!!
Get well soon!

Yeah man, correct grammar on a health update post, that's cool.
Hope you'll healed and back to work:)
... damn.
Shame to hear it; very common problem for digital artists. Find a good physical therapist focused on hands and wrists to check you out and walk you through some good exercises, and make sure your work environment is as comfortable as possible on your joints and back. It's amazing what proper wrist support can do for you. Hope those aches fade soon.
