Status - March

Hi everyone,

I don't have anything to release for this month. I cannot apologize enough and feel terrible that I can't deliver anything at all including art batch.

Long story short, I have not been and still am currently not in the right state of mind. I've been severely struggling mentally and financially. I've come off the 2nd anti-depressant as it became very detrimental to me and I'm now on my 3rd one to try. I've been suffering from withdrawals and brain zaps for the past 3 weeks and it's hard to concentrate and work without breaking down or losing track of time.

The reason I don't have art batch (something I've always ensured to as bare minimum to give back something for your sub or to add the asset to games), is because I've had to dip into what little savings I had. Wasting time and money earlier this month on seeing a psychologist that wouldn't have been able to help whatsoever. Doctors here won't prescribe me something stronger that I desperately need without getting referrals back to just confirm. I have to now try and save to see a Psychiatrist at least once hopefully about June. The 3rd anti depressant (Buproprion/Wellbutrin) isn't subsidized or normally prescribed in Australia either for anti-depression and costed me $90 for 30 freaking tablets.

As I've always said and still mean it, only subscribe if you feel you are getting what you feel is worth it. Regardless of my personal status, this still stands and I don't want anyone to feel bad for unsubbing, cost of living is really bad right now and I know I haven't had a game update released in quite awhile. I'm not going to think any different of you and already have been grateful for the first support in the first place, I'm also someone who only subs for content released at the time because I never have a stable income. My work ethic has always been to try overprovide what I feel I can for the $5 tier with extra for higher tiers every so often. Money isn't something I really care about or focus on... until I actually need it like this month. Big reason why I'm a loud mouth on piracy and have to resort to the extreme time wasting of sending personalized links when you sign up.

April I will be aiming to release something... ANYTHING, that I can as it's been far too long since a game update for everyone, and for financial reasons. The brain zaps and ideation has slowly been lessening and I'm able to think a little clearer at times. In saying that, the update may be something smaller or a random single event like Dani's straw one when it was first released before her story arc.

I apologize once again. And thank you all for everything you've done that's helped support me even just once. Every time I make one of these posts and have no game update, I feel like I'm making excuses especially for how often it happens. Tsumi's plan was only supposed to take me 2 years then I can move onto the next 2 games in the trilogy but things just keep kicking me to my knees then while I'm on the ground from piracy to now being last of kin. It's taken me an hour to just write this post going back and forth from the way the withdrawals are affecting me.

PS: If you ever need to go on an anti-depressant, AVOID Effexor if possible. Has by far the worst withdrawals and can last for months depending how long you are on it. The brain zaps alone make everything worse making you lose track of time and giving confusion. Something Dr's I've been to (and heard from others online later) that did not warn me about.
