Dev news!!!
Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a while because I have been so swamped with work that I really didn't have a moment to do anything other than work and updates. For the past three weeks, I kept telling myself that I needed to finally write a post since so much time had passed, but then I would sit down at the computer and start working on the update, and afterward, I was so exhausted that I would tell myself - I'll write something tomorrow - and the days kept passing by like that. However, I finally have more time because I just finished working on the update. As I write these words, the latest build is being uploaded to the server, and soon my team will start testing it. We want to thoroughly test it over the weekend, then spend a few days on possible fixes, and the plan is to finally release the continuation of our heroes' story next weekend (Saturday or Sunday).
The work on this update initially went very well and quickly, but at a certain point, I completely burned out and needed to take a break. The biggest crisis came after Easter when it turned out that my two colleagues and I had three weeks to prepare a major project worth several million euros. We worked 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we basically finished at the beginning of May. Fortunately, I had most of the work completed because I planned to release the update in mid-April, so those two weeks were enough to finish up and finally catch my breath a bit.
I hope you're not too mad at me and can somehow forgive me for not reaching out for so long. I hope that the update I've prepared for you will make up for it entirely. Best regards.

Take your Time no stress
I’m just glad you’re still alive. I’m glad it’s almost done. Much appreciate your hard work.
Great! Cant wait for the update. I think I speak for most when I say that we would love more content more often, but the thing we want most is for the story to continue without you burning out!' My advice from the IT world: Put very short status updates up every 1 to 2 weeks. People get antsy when they don't hear anything. just an short update with 1 or 2 lines like, "Still working, nothing major to report" or "Swamped at work, not much progress." And keep the big updates for when you got something substantial to show / tell lets the fans know you're still there and removes some of the pressure for you to make a big update. But that just my 10 cents. Keep up the good work!
Most all of us have to do the same thing, work has to come first or there is no roof over our heads. Do what you have to do. We will still be here
Don’t sweat it my friend, I’ve had that feeling more than once. Don’t work yourself into the dirt on our accounts, physical and mental health comes before all. Do whatever you gotta do, I’m just glad to know that it’s still going.
Thanks for the heads up, and no hurry, your health and happines mathers most ^^ And as far as games go, they are done when they're done ;)
Your health both physical and mental is most important 😀
I'm just glad you are still going this game is awesome and I'm happy to support you! It's completely understandable to take a break to fight burnout!
Hey, that happens to me in general (the I REALLY want to do this, but then just randomly be like, "Yeah, I'm not feeling it right now, maybe next time, but it'll always be the same"). Awesome, and no worries, your game is one of my favorites. I look forward to getting back into the world of Reunion! My beautiful family awaits!
Check your PM and give me some names. 😆
