Personal Health Update + Hello Eastwood title screen (animated)
🕑 Added 2019-05-25 23:56:58 +0000 UTCHello folks, I sincerely hope you're all doing better than I am. Since Tuesday I've been sick with the worst flu I've experienced in my entire life, and its severity has kept me completely unable to work. Today I managed to get out of bed long enough to record the title screen for Hello Eastwood (which I had finished before I got sick). Without getting into the messy details, this flu has kept me in bed all day and night, and unfortunately I'm getting super behind on things.
It's during rough patches like this where I can't do anything other than ask for your patience as my body fights off this virus, and with luck, I hope I'll be back at work soon.
At first I was hoping to get better before much time was lost, but after 5 days, I figured I should let you all know what was happening on my end, hence today's update. I'm sorry if this message comes off as a little incoherent, I still have a high fever, and typing this update was a lot harder than I'd like to admit.
Before I get back to bed, I wanted to mention one bit of exciting news-- I wasn't sure if ren'py would be able to support hand drawn frame animations, but as you can see from the rotating hearts and the man jogging in the title screen, hand drawn animations *are* possible to do, which means that I will be able to incorporate animated elements into the sexual encounters in the game. I was thrilled to learn this was possible, as I'd been hoping to do something like that.
If I manage to bounce back from this flu in the next couple days, I should have the game's intro ready for playing for you all early on next month.
That's all for now, take care everyone <3

Hey Marccus! Just wanted to add that I hope you get to feeling better! I see it's been said, but if your fever/flu is still persisting, it's time to see a doctor. If it's been hanging on for more than five days, you need medical help. Hope you get better soon!

Btw, it's amazing how much you can squeeze out of RenPy engine) Great job.

No worries. Rest. Recover. Then draw more hairy men. [Said in my Ice Bear voice of love.]

No worries, Marccus, take your time to rest. But if it's really that severe, you may need to visit a doctor. If it's a true virus (not bacteria) cause, they have some efficient tests and medicine for that. Also, not sure if you know that or not, there is a phone app called GoodRx that allows you to buy prescribed medicine (in US) quite cheap. Just install it on your phone and search for a drug name, it will show you where you can get it for the best price and also produce a coupon you can show at the registry.

Hello my friend and please just worry about getting better. It sounds as if you may need to get to a doctor for some antibiotics as well. Ken

Take all the time you need to get better, okay? You shouldn't have to work through a flu, get to bed and stay there as long as you need bud
