Sweet Affection Update 0.12.9
Let's begin with this month's update.
Honestly, not a lot to talk about. Which is a good thing.
I managed to finish the art for Sarah and Shannon their planned events and I also started writing those events.

I should be done with that in about 3 or 4 days.
After which I'll begin to focus completely on Hazel her new content.

This update will definitely be above the 1.000 images, so a good sized one. :)
A.N.R / Naughty Attic Gaming
Now, let's talk a little bit about A.N.R, Naughty Attic Gaming and myself.
What in the world is going on with A.N.R?
The truth is, well... it's very complicated.
Every single day I give myself the task to work on it, but almost every single day I fail to do so.
Not because I don't want to, because I DO want to. So freaking badly.
But simply because I don't have it in me to do so.

I've been working on Sweet Affection non-stop for about 6/7 years.
Day in, day out. Month after month. Not missing a single update.
Something I enjoyed doing and something I still enjoy doing.
And I want to make that very, very clear from the start.
I love working on Sweet Affection, every single day I sit with a smile behind my desk when I work on new content.

I love working on Sweet Affection, every single day I sit with a smile behind my desk when I work on new content.
But, I think it's time for me to accept that I'm no longer the same person I was back when I started.
As much as I want to work 60/70 hours every single week and push myself to the limit.
As much as I want to work on 2 games at the very same time.
I simply don't have that in me any longer. (at least not currently)

And trying to force myself to do so, it's what keeps dragging me down.
Cause every single time I'm not able to work on A.N.R. I feel horrible.
Every single time I can't produce what I want to do with Sweet Affection, I feel horrible.
And every month that I see my subscriber count go down, I feel horrible.

I am not burned out, I want to make that clear.
I still enjoy what I do very, very much.
But I'm frustrated by my own lack of progress and I believe that the stress of everything isn't really doing any favors for my energy either.

But, I know that I can't keep going on like this.
If I keep purely focusing on Sweet Affection while not doing anything about A.N.R
The simple truth is, my income will slowly bleed dry to the stage where I'm forced to find a part-time job.
I want to keep developing and I have so much more I want to give all of you.

So, starting 2027. If everyone is alright with it.
I'm going to start doing things a little bit differently.
I am going to alternate between Sweet Affection and A.N.R
One month there will be a Sweet Affection update and the other month will be A.N.R
(Until I am able to release 0.1 of A.N.R, I make sure to at release a little bit of Sweet Affection content during the A.N.R months so you are never without something new to enjoy.)

I know some people won't be happy with this change.
Providing monthly updates of Sweet Affection is something I've been proud of.
And if my financial situation allowed it, I would have continue to do that until the game is finished.
But at this moment, I feel like this is the only way I can go forward.
To ensure I have a chance of giving all of you much more content for many more years to come.
So I can continue to give Sweet Affection the attention and love it deserves.
But to (hopefully) grow as Naughty Attic Gaming again.
To give all of you what you deserve. :)

I will continue to give it my all, like I've been doing since the start.
That is my promise to all of you.
And I hope that all of you understand why I have to do things differently.
And I would like to hear your thoughts and opinion on this matter.
If you guys rather want me to turn this into a poll, I will.

But A.N.R is not dead, far from it.
I have so much planned, projects apart from A.N.R.
That is kinda what I wanted to talk about.
To give you the honest truth about this entire situation.
But also about how I've been personally feeling.

Unless the vast majority doesn't agree with this new plan, I will come up with a plan for 2027 in December.
For now, I am going to end this post and get back to work.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
And like I said above, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting us.

I agree with doing what you want to do. I am a relative nobody and don't support you at the higher level tiers. So, maybe don't take my opinion very seriously. Just do what you enjoy doing or I fear you will gradually start to dislike that you aren't getting what you want to get out of doing this work.
