Taking a Break
Hey guys,
Not completely sure how to start this off, so I will come out and say it straight
I’m in desperate need of a break, I thought I could soldier on until August, but with everything that has happened this year in terms of projects and the fact I haven’t had any time off in… I can’t even remember when, I don’t think I can delay it any longer.
Due to this my focus has been all off and things are taking so much longer to complete. I’m feeling tired all the time and not committing any time to the things I actually enjoy, nor taking any time to focus on my physical health either.
Basically it just feels like everything has been “go, go, go!” for so long (especially since the boot from Patreon) that I haven’t had time to rest and recover from all the stress and anxiety that caused. Having to sort out the projects financially in terms of deciding how we handle the fact that the projects aren’t making as much as they once were, so priorities have to change.
My body and mind are now telling me, enough is enough and I think I have to listen to it.In the long run, pushing on and ignoring the signs is probably going to cause much more damage down the road, so I have to take the time now to rest and get back into good habits.
I think the work I have been putting out lately hasn’t been up to my usual bar I like to set for the projects and it feels like it has been this way for a while. I haven’t been active in the discord server either despite being online all the time and I really want things to change.
My plan is for the next 2 weeks I’ll be taking time away to get a routine established, focusing on my physical health and getting back to eating properly and doing hobbies I enjoy doing. After that I’ll be doing a soft return to work.
This will effect the two projects differently:
Kingdom of Subversion:
- The build scheduled for July will be a smaller one, focusing on bug fixes and adding 3 of the Royal Court’s “level 3 progressions” and Fallen outfits
The Solarion Project:
- The build scheduled for this month will be delayed until August, which pushes back the planned future builds too
With the exception of the game builds, all other rewards will continue monthly as normal. Additionally funding will be used as normal to continue collecting the art we need for the project.
Obviously with the Patreon boot, and now this, the roadmap will have to be adjusted to better reflect how our timeline will look going forward, but I’d rather do that on my return rather than right now.
I want to apologise to all the fans and supporters of the projects for this delay in our progression. I couldn’t have controlled what happened with patreon, but I should have handled my reaction to it a lot better than I have, however that is what this time off will hopefully remedy.
Thank you for sticking with me (and the lovely artists) during the chaos that this year has brought. I look forward to bringing you better quality updates going forward.
I’ll do my best to answer any questions you have may.
