Christmas is (probably) cancelled.

Bear with me here. I'll be going to the hospital in the next couple of days to deal with a health issue I've been struggling with so I don't know how much I'll be posting in the near future. Needless to say, I haven't made a ton of progress with the Christmas special, and that's for more reasons than just how I feel physically.

I've poked at making progress on the special, and the more progress I made, the less I felt like working on it. One of those reasons is that I just don't feel happy with how it's turning out. It might be the fact that I'm not in the best frame of mind to look at the project objectively, but I'll have to wait until I'm back in better health to judge it objectively.

Another reason is that the way I'm doing the alternate (non-sharing) path feels so emotionless that I've started to truly hate even working on it. It could just be that I made a decision to try to keep the two paths easier to work on simultaneously and that choice wasn't a good one, but whatever it is, it's souring me on the entire project at the moment. Again, this might be a product of my current state of mind, but it's how I feel at this point in time.

So... here's my plan as it stands for now. First is to get back on my feet health-wise so I can look at what I have objectively. After that, if I still feel the same about what I have done at the moment, I will drop the Christmas special for the time being and work on what I need to do to bring myself peace, which is working on Week 10 and getting that finished to end the "season."

I have decided that that will mark the end of the NSFW in it's current form. I'm not done with the NSFW, but I'm going to wrap up everything I have done so far into one package and call that a game. No cliffhanger ending that I had planned or anything like that... the game called Natural Selection Female Wrestling will be complete.

There's still a couple of one-offs that need to be finished, but besides that, it will be done.

After that, I will be starting pre-production stuff on a spin-off made in Honey Select 2 that will take place roughly 20 years after Natural Selection Female Wrestling, tentatively called "Masters Island" and also start working on what would technically be season 2 of the NSFW, with a minor name change of Natural Seduction Female Wrestling. This will take place roughly 2 to 3 years after the end of the first game and will still be in the KK engine.

I will go over what is going to change and why at a later date, though I'm sure you can probably guess at a couple of the changes from what I've already said. I know a lot of you won't be happy with the changes, but I can't feasibly see a way to continue as is with what I have planned story-wise. Either way, I thank you for all the support you've shown me over the course of the NSFW and understand if you step away from the project after the end of Natural Selection.

I need to stop typing now. I'll try to be around with updates as I can and hopefully soon I'll be back in the game and crunching out the goods on a more timely basis.

Yeah, judging by your discord posts, I think I can see what you were trying to go for as far as the sharing and non-sharing routes, with having different characters. While I think that it's commendable that you would try to go to such lengths to give everyone a version of the story that's exactly what they want, I also think that, yeah, it's probably become an untenable gameplan, especially considering how hard-line some people get about that stuff. Even if you went ahead and forced yourself to keep doing this thing you hate, and put in all the extra time and effort, you KNOW there would STILL be a sizable portion of the crowd that you were doing it for that would be dissatisfied, and people would STILL get belligerent about it. Pissing and moaning is inevitable, either way. You might as well let them piss and moan after you make the game that YOU wanted to make in the first place. EVENTUALLY. Weeks from now after you've gotten your rest.

RIP to the non-sharing route, you will be missed. The most important part is that you like what you create. the right audience will show up for you. I hope you feel better soon. Looking forward to future content.

I hope you get everything you need to get back to health and happiness soon, dude. You have an awesome game, full of amazing characters and I for one will follow NSFW into whatever direction you decide to take it. You'll never please everyone but the quality of your work shines through to anyone who takes the time to look.
