Preparing for the Future
It has now been several weeks since the 0.7 release and reception has been overwhelmingly positive, I'm so glad you all enjoyed it so much!
As many here already know I've been doing this on the side of my studies until now, however I've recently made the decision to cancel my studies and focus fully on game development.
This means I'll be spending a lot of time in the near future on starting a company, which includes boring stuff like meeting with accountants and bank people and shit. Along with making final preparations for the Steam release I won't have much time over for working on the game for a little while.
I hope it's understandable that I take a bit of time to get everything in order, because this is pretty much my guarantee to my community that I'm in this for the long run.
With that said, the next couple of updates might also be a little unstable when it comes to release time as I figure out a healthy schedule to work with so that I can get things out in good time and still have free time over so that I don't burn myself out completely.
Thank you for being understanding and for choosing to be part of my community, I hope you're as excited for the future as I am.

You're a boss. Keep smashing expectations dude!
I've supported you for a while because it was clear you had potential right from the start of After the Inferno, it's a big risk and I hope it works out. I quit a successful career at the start of 2021 to focus on game development as the games I was making on the side were doing so well, it was the best decision I ever made.
While I do not know what it is that you were studying, and feel that it would be impolite to ask. It saddens me that you are quitting your studies for the game/company building. I believe you should always have something to fall back on, should things not pan out the you'd like. It reminds me of one of my favorite sayings. The best laid plans, will not get you laid the way to plan. With that said, I am also happy that when the dust settles, you'll have updates more frequently. As your game is an absolute masterpiece. And, I for one plan to continue my pledge for the foreseeable future. I wish you luck in your endeavors, And look forward to what comes next.
Thanks for your concern, but the truth is that I chose to quit studies because I simply didn't like it. Game development has been my thing to fall back on, and it's what gave me the opportunity to stop doing something I wasn't enjoying. Of course it's good to have something to fall back on, but when that something takes up whatever free time you have left, it's not gonna be sustainable in the long run, which is what it's been like for the past year or so. I wouldn't have made this choice if I wasn't confident that it's gonna work out.
Screw you Lemon
Man, do you first! If you good, we good! I'm happy that I got to spend some time with my girl 😉
