The Wheel of Samsara never stops
Our lead developer and sole programmer had an accident: While trying to help his cat, which got their feet stuck in its collar, scared kitten bit his hand. Not a big deal, happens. Though this particular kitten might have had some military grade fangs, as it not only bit through his hand, but also managed to hit the nerve. Not only that, but it caused a serious infection. Somehow along with the bite, it ingested a fxcking flesh-eating bacteria.
Tomorrow he has an appointment for a surgical removal of his thumb and index finger, otherwise the necrosis is more or else certain.
What the fxck.
I have no idea how will it impact our development, and I honestly have no idea how to react, except to be absolutely fxcking flabbergasted by the absurdity of this situation. We've been doing our absolute best to try and live a peaceful life after escaping the war, but each passing day brings new surprises, neither of which have been happy so far.
We will help Cipheos to cover his medical bills, of course, and we might invite a friend of his to help us out with coding, but as you can imagine we haven't been prepared to something like this. We'll do our best to make sure the updates won't get halted.
If you wanted to get up your membership to get comics, update or whatever, we would really appreciate any support right now. We will make sure to repay your kindness the best we can.

Thank you for the updates and I, as I'm sure all of us, wish Cipheos as complete a recovery as he can get, and for as long as he needs. My best wishes to you all at this stressful time. Been having a shit time of it too, but nothing like this. Please continue to pass on our good wished to him. As asked, upgraded the membership again to try and help out some more. Take care everyone.
Poor cipheos, hope he recovers
As someone who regularly works with cats. You may be surprised to hear the bacteria cocktail in your average house cats mouth can easily be deadly if untreated. Thankfully Ciph is being treated and I hope he makes a swift recovery.
Animal bites are very dangerous and you always need to get them checked out by the doctor. Very unfortunate for them and I wish them well
Gods above! Well. Damn. I hope he recovers well after surgery! That’s the craziest shot I’ve ever heard from something so relatively minor
Thoughts and prayers to Cipheos, hoping for a speedy recovery. That’s gotta be some of the e shittest luck I’ve ever seen
What the fuck ? A cat can really inflict this kind of damages ?! Anyway I'm sorry for him. I hope that he will recover soon and that he will not be too traumatize by the experience.
The bite wouldn't have been so bad by itself, but that little devil somehow also ingested a flesh-eating bacteria with his fangs. The capabilities of that cat to kill are mind boggling
Well that’s very fucking unfortunate to say the least. Pray for a speedy recovery 🙏🏿 (and more importantly that nothing gets worse) At least he isn’t losing his whole hand 🤷🏿♂️
Holy fucking shit, got a friend that got his nerve bitten through by a dog, but the removal of two fingers due to that is a shock.... Get well soon Ciph
Cipheos got very fucking unlucky, and the cat bite caused an infection. Now it's down to a chance whether or not it will cause necrosis by the morning, so we wait
That is just wow...
Tell me about it...
as long as theyre healthy in the end all that matters :)
Well, necrosis of two fingers is far from healthy, but at least he's alive.
