Dev update #87

Hi. It's been a while since my last dev update. Let's get you up to date.
Firstly, my personal life turned to complete mess this month. I'll spare you the boring details, but my hopes of quitting my day job tuned to sh**. My father died (whom I have not seen in ~20 years) and with that, I 'inherited' his debts. It's much more complicated than that but, like I said, I don't want to get into details. So the last two weeks I've been contacting lawyers and trying to salvage the situation. Why am I telling you this? Well, it didn't stop me from working on the Cybernetic Long Con, but I haven't been on my usual 100% productivity.
Oh. There is one thing I want to be crystal clear about: this in not a 'pay me more because I have financial issues' type of post. Absolutely not! I'm only telling you this, because I feel guilty that I didn't spend as much time on the game as I should've.
My financial issues are my own and everything I earn here will be spent on the game.

About the development. I'm almost finished with environments and characters. I'd still like to have various props for characters to make them feel more alive. Bags, backpacks, phones, tablets, or, in other words, have them do something while talking to other characters. I want them to feel like real people and not empty shells. So as soon as I'm done with environments (in a few days), I'll quickly switch my attention to props.
I think the full blown produciton, which means rendering scenes, will start at the beginning of the next month.

It's been a crazy years for me. Career-wise? By far the best years of my life. Nothing comes even close. Personal life? Complete mess. But I guess there has to be a balance.
Thank you again for being here and supporting me! I hope I'll be able to deliver the best content I can without any more setbacks.
I think that's it for now.

Take care!

Thank you. I have to learn to deal with the situation. I don't know how long it will last. Years perhaps. It's not going away any time soon. I don't want to force people to pay for (not) my debts, so gofundme is out of the question, but thanks for your suggestion. :)

I am so sorry for your loss. Don't feel guilty about the development of the game no one in their right mind would rush you. Please take whatever time you need to sort out this situation. We'll continue to support you as long as possible so don't push yourself to your breaking point. Have you considered starting a gofundme to help with any expenses?
