Hey folks,
Just a small update on me and a little sneak peek.
My scar is healing normally with no complications so far; I got my stitches removed today.
Recovering from the anesthesia was a bit rougher than I expected, as I felt nausea and lethargy for a full week before it started getting better. Though the scar has left me a bit depressed when I saw how bad it looked (though it's the early stage of scarification, so we'll have to wait a few more months to see how it goes).
It is what it is. But as long as I'm in good health, that's the most important aspect.
Still waiting for confirmation on Monday that the cancer was removed successfully... knocking on wood.
This week I managed to do some "light" work. As I was still struggling to keep my energy during the day, but I used that time to finish the 3rd and final shot of the Barca OC set (preview here), and I started writing 20 or so pages of it. So it's in a good place to be finished in November after the Daphne set is done.
The good news, is that I think I'm starting to get my strength back now, so I should be able to tackle the Daphne set, etc... properly this month.
Because I'm lagging behind with the OC sets (there is still a femboy OC set to be done after the Barca one), I won't be doing a raffle until I have "cleaned up" the OC backlog fully to get a proper normal pace going. I'm hoping to have that backlog of OC sets done by December, but we will see. Note that in the meantime, points are still being added and distributed to subs etc... as per usual (I'll update that new week on discord).
Game Dev-wise. I think I'll aim to restart working on that either in January or February 2026 if I don't have further complications with my day-to-day life. But I'll use that opportunity to see how I balance priorities between working on the OC sets and the game dev stuff.
My surgery and personal issues have made me realize that I have to be careful managing my health, so I'm thinking of making the regular sets the "standard" monthly content, while leaving the 10 days of the month remaining as a more "flexible" workschedule, where I can set priorities between either doing some game dev or doing an OC set and keep a balance between the two. I'll try to keep the gap between OC sets minimal though.
But I'll have more to say about that once we get in January of 2026.
But the TLDR is, I'm keeping the regular set as the safe "standard" monthly content that I can guarantee to deliver every month, and I will have the OC sets and gamedev stuff as the "flexible" work schedule with an "it's done when it's done" mindset to keep my stress at reasonable levels while keeping progress on both fronts steady every month. (It will also give me some breathing room should I experience a big set back, like I had recently. Stuff like that can and probably will happen again, given that my financial struggles are far from over.)
But that's about it.
There will be a work schedule post this Wednesday, with the usual early sneak peek to work on the Daphne set, how I'll tackle the OC set backlog this month, along with news on the next polls, etc...
Thank you all again for your support and kindness.
Take care,
Tonk.
