Chapter 5 - Part 2: Week 5 Progress
Hey everyone,
I'll cut right to the chase since I'm sure you're wondering why the numbers suck. Suffice it to say, it's been a really tough week for me. I can't get into too many details for privacy reasons, but I've unfortunately lost my job this past week. I'm thankful that it was at least through no fault of my own, but I've still been in a state of panic ever since. As you can imagine, losing most of my income and all my benefits so suddenly has been extremely stressful, and made it extremely hard to concentrate on much apart from trying to plan out how I'm going to survive on a shoestring budget.
I suppose it's a bit of a good news, bad news situation for you. Since I suddenly have much more time to work on the game, but I don't have a lot of savings, and as it is, Homelander doesn't quite pay the bills. Still, I have a little tucked away, and if I'm careful and productive, I might be able to survive just long enough to get the next update out. If I can release more regular updates, it's conceivably possible that Homelander could sustain me. Anyway, I'm rambling too much, and I definitely won't survive off of anything if I don't get to work.
The situation is still very fresh, and I'm not even sure if I've fully come to terms with everything yet, but I felt that you all deserve to be aware of my situation. At least, as aware as I can make you without blasting my personal info everywhere.
I'll leave it here for tonight. I hope you all have a better week.
Much love!
JB

Have faith my friend, it will work out, keep going, think about good and productive things and manage your time well, try to feel better, a better JB makes an even better game, take care of yourself
Dearest Friend, I'm with you in these difficult times. Don't lose hope and, above all, don't lose faith in your abilities and your strength of spirit. As one of your supporters wrote: "In these moments, don't think of anything else but getting back on track and, above all, think about your family and finding a solution to the problems you're facing". I believe each of us will be rooting for you, so that you can resolve your situation as quickly as possible. As you usually say goodbye, Lots of Love, FBD.
Dont lose hope
Priority is you! Make sure you’re good before worrying about us
Well Jabbonk, I’m really sorry about your situation, I know what it feels like to lose your job, when I first married my wife 35 years ago I was doing construction for 8 years, we were married in October and I was laid off for several months, we almost lost our house, I went to school and became a nurses aide, I did that while going to college and became a surgical nurse in the operating room, sooo, I know things look bleak now but it always seems to work out, if developing this game can’t pay the bills then my suggestion ( people on here will probably crucify me) is to take care of you first, find a job so you can pay your bills, delaying this will only stress you out even more and perhaps lead you to health problems or even worse losing your home, take care of you first then worry about the game, will some people be pissed that it’s taking longer to release the update, sure but fix your problem first so you can concentrate on other things
Take care my friend. We can all wait for updates. You come first!
