hold on, time out (Patreon)

Hi. I'm not doing so hot.

Obviously, there's a lot going on right now, and that's suddenly become especially true for me. 

Folks on the discord may have seen earlier that my grandma (who is basically the only member of my extended family that i talk to regularly, and who has already been struggling with respiratory issues before this) has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and has been in the hospital for several days already. I only just found out today.

In addition to that, since last night I've suddenly been in a lot of enduring pain. I'm sure in my case that this isn't related to the pandemic-- likely a complication of my surgery before. But it has become very difficult to sleep, or focus on anything. A lot of the today I've just been trying to distract myself and deal with it, with mixed success. I'll probably have to see a doctor about this, and I think we all know this is not a good time for that. My city is officially on lockdown tomorrow as well.

And not to be outdone, but Cass and I have both had random bouts of dizziness lately. Nothing severe, but we're a little worried given that our roommate works at a grocery store that we might have the thing and just be (mostly) asymptomatic. I'm coughing still, but I've been coughing since the bad cold I got in December, so it's hard to tell if it's related. What I know for sure is that the reason I got hit by that cold so hard was because I put a lot of stress on myself at that time and that apparently wore down my immune system hard. I don't want to make that mistake again and start showing symptoms now.

So, given everything that's going on, I'm opting to take a small hiatus from development. I really appreciate that y'all tend to have my back with this, so this post is sort of more for myself than anything-- just so I can feel a little bit better in tempering down expectations. I may still work on stuff, but for my sake, please don't expect anything from me for a couple weeks >~<; I hope my issues aren't more drawn out than that.

Because I don't want to make a post without any actual content, here's the finished combat model for Glasya's companion, Lynnoe!

We also have three other art assets currently in the pipeline too, so hopefully we can at least keep that moving a bit even if I'm down.

Thank you everyone for being patient with me during this clusterfuck time period. I hope everyone else will be healthy, safe, and stable despite everything going on.

In fact, it's check-in time. Even if you already responded on twitter, it's been a minute-- please tell me in a comment, or message if you prefer or something-- are you all right? How's everyone holding up amid this mess?
