TWO WEEK BREAK IN NOVEMBER
Added 2019-10-24 14:11:10 +0000 UTCHi, everyone!
This may be a bit rambly, so if you're easily bored just skip down to the "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?" section below! I won't hold it against you.
For those of you still with me... hello! Okay, so many of you may know that for the past few weeks I've been having trouble with my right wrist and shoulder. I've been to see the doctor, gotten medication (and a stern lecture on the dangers of overworking) and everything's feeling a lot better now. Most of you probably know that part already.
What you almost certainly don't know is that every year my parents, my brothers and I go to Portugal on a family trip for two weeks. It's a nice way to get everybody together and catch up. Also, sunshine! Now, I had considered curtailing, or outright cancelling, the trip this year (I don't want to leave you guys without updates!) but having spoken to friends and well-wishers (as well as my doctor, who was VERY blunt) I have decided to take the trip as planned.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?
First of all: There WILL BE updates this Sunday (27th) and next Sunday (November 3rd). I'm flying out on the 3rd, but I'll make sure the update goes live first, and I'll send the public release out as planned on Wednesday (I'll have limited internet in Portugal, but enough for that no problem).
There will, however, be NO update on November 10th and 17th. Sorry! I'll start working as soon as I get back (on the evening of the 20th) and there WILL BE an update on the 24th.
Thirdly, I don't intend to disappear during those two weeks! I'll still be answering posts, as well as Discord messages, so I'll still be around!
Finally, I don't want to leave you guys with nothing for those two weeks so I'm working on getting something a little fun (I think) sorted out. Keep an eye on this site to find out what it is! If all goes according to plan, the first one should be out on Monday and then every couple days after that.
That's about it! The tldr is: I'll be away in Portugal from the 3rd until the 17th so no updates during those two weeks, but I'll still be around and I'll be posting something fun while I'm away!
Thanks for your time, and your patience!
You rock.

hope you have a nice time in Portugal and I hope you enjoy it. Also, if you would take a break for more than 2 weeks, that would not be bad because you spent so much time in the game where other developers would have done half as much. ps i'm looking forward to the next update You rock
2019-11-13 14:29:33 +0000 UTCHey, thanks for the well-wishes and the feedback :) I'm glad you're enjoying the new content, and the "shades of grey". Your choices won't lock you into any specific paths, but they WILL affect how the MC reacts to the people and the world around him, and people will remember many of your choices. Also, at the end of each character's storyline you'll be asked to make a decision that will permanently change them/the world. So, y'know, good luck with deciding on the right course of action for those choices ;)
2019-10-30 22:12:52 +0000 UTCHave good break ) another reason fixed weekly updates are a strain on devs...never any leeway for breaks or downtime for injury or illness. I dont download every update so biased lol. Have to say I really loved coming back this time and LOVE the shades of grey added (where is line of consent?, when is consent not enough?) Not sure if any long term implications but they do make the role playing of good, bad and opportunistic a lot more varied so a big thank you. I still struggling to decide on martial training and helping Jessica buy houses just what is "right"

2019-10-26 07:20:51 +0000 UTCThanks, I really appreciate it :) I just feel bad that people are supporting the game and they won't get anything for two weeks... but everyone's been super-supportive! I'm honestly touched <3
2019-10-25 12:27:45 +0000 UTCDude, if you wanted to take a full months' break, that'd be totally within your right, no need to justify yourself to us - you've worked a lot on this from the beginning! On another note though, this is kinda funny to me because I myself used to go to Portugal every year with my family, though in the summer.
2019-10-25 11:48:34 +0000 UTCThank you! I will do my best, and return all healed and full of energy! :)
2019-10-25 11:32:00 +0000 UTCDon't burn yourself out, rest comfily

2019-10-24 17:32:05 +0000 UTCHey remember to practice self-care. Your health is more important than anything. No working allowed on this vacation.

2019-10-24 15:14:40 +0000 UTCAll saves should work automatically in each new update unless you're changing machines or doing a really in-depth uninstall. If you're having trouble with save files not passing between updates jump into the Discord #help channel and I'll be happy to help out :)
2019-10-24 15:14:08 +0000 UTCThank you! I hope to come back fully healed, completely refreshed and full of content ideas! :)
2019-10-24 15:12:14 +0000 UTCWhoops! Haha, yes, I was thinking of the public releases (which will be out on those days). Thanks - fixed the post :)

2019-10-24 14:58:31 +0000 UTCoh and may i ask, i wonder if there is a possible way to take the saves from the earlier versions of the game to the latest version?
2019-10-24 14:55:51 +0000 UTCyou deserve it man, take your time!
2019-10-24 14:53:28 +0000 UTC13th, 20th and 27th? those are wednesday, I suppose you meant the 10th, 17th and 24th

2019-10-24 14:42:01 +0000 UTCI know, I feel so selfish! ;P But thanks for the kind words and the well-wishes! Both are very much appreciated :)
2019-10-24 14:39:57 +0000 UTCHmm, a dev taking a break? Mental health and relaxation for the dev? Sounds good to me. Enjoy the break and we will be around.
