Health update + a few words about the future
Hey everyone,
Just a small update because I know I haven’t been as present lately, and I wanted to be honest with you about where things are at.
First, the good news: I’m slowly getting better.
I’m not fully back yet, but there is definitely progress, and that already feels huge compared to where I was before. So thank you again for the patience, the kind messages, and the support. It really means a lot.
The reason I haven’t been around as much is tied a lot to my health, and I’ve had to accept something that is honestly very hard for me: I can’t do everything anymore the way I used to.
I’m a serious perfectionist, and when I work on videos, tutorials, or anything for you guys, I always want to make it the best possible. The problem is that this often meant forcing myself to work often way too late into the night, sometimes even until early morning every day, just to get everything exactly how I wanted it.
Obviously, that’s not something I can keep doing.
So lately, these last few months, I’ve been trying to pace myself more, work in a healthier way, and make a few concessions here and there instead of constantly pushing past my limits. It’s frustrating in some ways because I always want to do more, faster, better...but at the same time, it’s clearly paying off, because little by little, I am getting better.
So even if I’m a bit less present than before, please know it’s not because I don’t care. Quite the opposite. It’s because I want to make sure I can keep doing this properly, for the long term, without destroying myself in the process.🫠
On a more exciting note.... I’ve also started working on a bit of a secret project. 👀
It’s still early, so I don’t want to say too much yet, but if all goes well, everything should be ready in a few months. We’ll see... hopefully some of you will like it 😄 And you will probably not guess what that is since it's in a way loosely linked to AI, you'll see when it's done🥴
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you again for sticking with me through all this. This Patreon, this community, and everything we’ve built together still blows my mind, and I’m incredibly grateful for it every day.
More good things are coming. I just need to make sure I get there in a way that keeps me healthy enough to actually deliver them.
Thank you so much once again.
❤️ K, Your AI Overlord

So sorry you are going through that but so excited you are feeling much better. You are worthy of rest.
Very important not to work yourself to an early grave - You're doing the right thing & take it easy Coming from an old timer work-a-holic! A Full recovery to you good sir!
I love your content but you have to take care of yourself first. Keep up the great work.
Congrats, you are making a Ren'py style game with ultra realistic human characters, although everything is made with AI tools including the coding. Make sure you develop an Android version so I can test it with my equipment that can side load your beta version release. Also please support Linux version. Your AI animated cut scenes will be entertaining.
👀
Thanks for the update, stay safe. And please bring us some video about consistent character creation.
thank you for all your videos. i'll probably get around to watching all of them, eventually. your health comes first though and also, priorities. like what makes you more money? patreon subscribers or youtube? i did find you through youtube, however, i don't contribute to you in any way through youtube. i do subcribe to your Patreon account, however little is it.
Thanks, I really appreciate the support, yes Patreon is where I get most of my income🙂
Take it steady, you don't want a burnout. I've seen the effect and it is not pleasant and is very long lasting. So.... slowly does it... you'll be no good to anyone curled up in a corner for 18 months ;)
Get well soon. In this day and age of what seems like a new AI model every week I can't imagine the time you have to put in on these.
Take care yourself! So important. thanks for the update and being real

As someone who also has been dealing with health stuff and then becoming disabled, pivoting your life around it is a real challenge and can be depressing but remember to take care of yourself first.
My man, take care of yourself! This field is brutal, everyone needs balance and it’s hard to find.
Please take good care of yourself!
Yeah working too much is not Always the best way to stay focus. Sometimes changing the nature of our activities can be really healthy. And above all take care of you and very thank you for the quality of your work and your diligence.
