Sad news
🕑 Added 2024-07-06 08:26:09 +0000 UTC(TL:DR at the end)
I'll start by apologizing for the recent silence here, and for the silence that will probably come after this post.
I won't go into too much details about my personal life, but in addition to some pretty serious family issues, I recently broke my right hand (you know, the one I use to draw, animate and program games ?) and recovery is being very slow.
But this stuff isn't the only problem I'm having with KW's development.
In the past months I tried making this page my full time occupation, thinking it will be the best thing in the world to draw buttocks and weewees all day, while making a bit of money, but it has been quite the opposite.
The constant anxiety of having to make my game good, and having to make it fast to not lose my income, (that's already barely enough to cover my rent), while receiving daily messages reminding me that i'm being very slow, is getting a bit heavy for my low self-esteem brain.
Most of you must be thinking "it's not that deep bro, it's just a porn game" and you would be completely right.
I'm not trying to make myself a victim or anything like that, I just think since y'all have been supporting me for a while, you deserve an explanation of where I'm at.
And while I'm super grateful for the support I got with this game, and realizing a lot of game devs would kill to have a similar community, it's just not working for me, both money-wise (I live in a pretty expensing area, and moving isn't an option unfortunately) and mental health-wise, at least not in that current format.
My current situation forces me to get other jobs on the side to not starve to death, so posting here will be halted for a while.
I can't really tell you guys when, or in what form, KW and my other projects will come back, but they will. I really love what I started creating here, I just need to figure out a way of doing it that works for me.
I apologize again for those who supported me in the past months and who felt betrayed by my lack of presence.
Ok I'm done yapping, I will stay reachable here, or on Discord/Twitter if you have any questions or need anything from me.
TL:DR : Working on KW full time hasn't been working for me, both mentally and financially. Patreon rewards and game updates will be paused for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can with more details.
It really feels like shit to have to make this post after teasing multiple cool projects I have on the back burner.

I just want to thank you and congratulate you for the effort you have made for us and for yourself. I hope you regain your health and your passion. Also don't feel the need to continue for us, do it for yourself first and only. ♥️
