Serenity Chapter 2 - Ep. 6 (Devlog 2)
Hello my friends,
So, as I posted in my Discord a few nights ago, I've been pretty scarce the last few weeks and unusually quiet. I tried to at least be active on Discord but I got really sick... 3 times in a row (for almost 3 weeks straight). First a stomach virus that just wouldn't go away and when it finally did... then got a really bad cold. Got over that only to have another stomach virus (or the same one). I had a day at the hospital and the rest of the time I was in bed trying to sleep it away - which worked, to an extent... like when I was able to sleep. It was bad. Never got that sick before in my life and never want to again. My wife sanitized and cleaned up the entire house trying to make sure it wasn't something in our house.
Of course this crap has set me back in a big way with the next Serenity episode. I had only 180-ish images (out of around 1200) rendered when this crap hit me. So that's where I'm at. I have a lot to do and that doesn't count the many animations I have lined up for this episode. I do apologize for the quiet time but I had to put everything aside and focus on getting whatever that shit was out of my system. It was crazy because I am not usually a 'sickly' person; in fact I rarely get sick.
If you'll bare with me, I'll get back on track and pickup where I left off. I won't make the end of August as I had said previously. And I'm not going to push myself too hard and risk my stress levels or the quality of the work to get it done fast. With that said... any luck and I can still finish it by mid-September. Fingers crossed there won't be any more of this sickly business and I can focus on my craft.
Meanwhile, we may be a bit behind, but I am still here and I am not going anywhere. I'm still working on my games and previously mentioned plans are still active plans. So don't lose faith in me friends.
All the best to you, I love you all, ...Fire

i have to agree with rico ur health comes 1st so take all the time u need we can wait and i hope u feel better
I don't blame you, get healthy friend!
That is some terrible odds. Anyone know how to clone people? We cant lose Fire, we really should create a backup clone and put it into stasis. For the best in humanity....
Fire please don't stress, your health comes first, sure we love your games, but I will give you a example. During covid I gave up working for five different companies because I refused to take the jab. You can't work if you don't get the jab they said, I said... well if I die or get really sick from the jab I also can't work, I put my health first over any job. And well I never got covid. So I say unto you fire, please put your health first, your games can wait as long as needed for you to get back on your feet in body and mind.
OH! And get outside and soak up some solar vitamens too!!! Sunlight in moderation is good for you! You can't just keep hiding in the basement developing adult games all day and all night like that!! HA HA HE HE!
Sounds like you just ran the gauntlet of One bug after another just because your system was weekened by the previous bug.. Time to stuff some vitamens and hydrate. Add some Potasium (Bananas are good) some iron, and a bit of Vics type vapor to keep the lung bugs away (Cold and other issues). Keep your body temperature balanced. Never too hot and never too cold. And do not forget to get plenty of rest! Yeppers... I am a "shade tree" doctor.. LOL (Like a Shade Tree Mechanic!?) Seriously though.. Just like so many of your fans who beat me to the punch.. Take care of yourself first and foremost. You can finish the update when you are feeling better and well rested. You need to be healthy so you can make us more fun games!
Take your Time Health comes First
It gets done when done, take care of yourself and take breaks to destress.
Self care first. We will wait
Take care of yourself, health always comes first. I’m the same way, it’s always people like us that rarely get sick, but when we do, it hits us hard
Take all the time you need. Your health comes first.
Fuck man, hopefully you're finally back to 100%. I don't wanna go too deep down the conspiracy hole, but we're getting poisoned every which way these days. Hopefully you kicked it for good and your immune system is better for it! 🙏 Don't push yourself so hard you relapse, but excited for whatever you cook! Recently did a replay of all your games and it's amazing stuff Fire!
