ANNOUNCEMENTS: Game and Personal Update
🕑 Added 2023-03-01 17:52:05 +0000 UTCAlright boyos... it's time for an important announcement.
Over the last few weeks and months, some, if not most of you, probably realized that the latest update is taking a lot longer than the last one. A lot has changed ever since my time with the Army (Active Duty) came to an honorable end. Currently got 8 years of service under my belt, working on my 9th one in the National Guard. Pretty much last year on this date is when I had a lot of free time since I was prepping to separate, which resulted in 0.3.3 being released roughly four months after 0.3.2. Unfortunately, times, have changed...
I don't have nearly as much free time as I would like to be able to work on the game, since I'm working full-time, serving in the National Guard, and spending as much time I'm able to with my kiddos when they come around. It's been incredibly stressful, and my mental and physical states have been exhausted to the point of slowly losing interest in doing anything outside working on the game.
I made a post on the 10th on Patreon and SubscribeStar, and included a poll here, about a possible demo for you guys to try out. A lot of you insisted on having the full-release instead of the demo, and I can't thank you all enough for being so patient and supportive.....
You can probably take this as good news or bad, but..... I'm going to go through with releasing a demo. As I said, this will include everything up to.... a fourth of the actual 0.3.4 release I believe. I know you guys keep insisting on just waiting until full release, but as I mentioned previously... I'm really exhausted.. and I don't have the time I would like to be able to work on the game as I would like. But... I don't want to leave you guys empty-handed after all this time... I wanna do this.
I know a lot of other developers have much smoother release schedules, and I commend all of them for their hard work and dedication. I sadly don't have that luxury.... so... if I made some of you upset with me going through with the demo, I deeply apologize for it. I just want to provide you guys an enjoyable experience, one way or another.
To all my supporters... you guys are just amazing. I don't think I would have gotten this far without you... all of you, honestly. Everyone, even if you aren't supporting, are just amazing. All I can really ask of you guys is... just don't stop being awesome. Support is always optional, spread the game to your friends and such, other outlets, and whatnot. I will continue my best to work on the game for you all, and you all can expect the release dates for the demo very soon. Again... thank you all so much, and I apologize for any upset minds.
TL:DR: My physical and emotional states are really taking a toll, and I don't have the time to work on the game as much as I would like. I will release a demo in the meantime while I continue to work on the rest. I deeply apologize in advance for anyone that may be upset of the news.
