Hey, wanna hear about my November?

Sorry it’s taken me so long to make a post this month, the main reason is I buuuuurned myself so hard last month pushing to get Dead End finished in time (which you can see in the vlogs I posted at the time), and then when I knew I couldn’t do that I pushed myself to make Pumpking and was literally working right up to midnight to get it done on time.

The plan from then was to take a break which… I super failed at. I kept working on Pumpking to add extra fixes and features (like two extra boss stages nobody asked for D:)

I did take a few days after I was definitely done with Pumpking to chill but the honest truth is my momentum was gone. I got some of my energy back but getting back to work on Dead End has been really difficult for me. Sure I make a little progress here or there but I keep getting distracted by ideas I can’t put down like planning a fantasy console equivalent to PS1/SegaCD, or starting work on Dusk Child 2;

or experimenting with a vector art/animation system for pico-8 (also probably for Dusk Child 2);

All in all, I have gotten a lot done, but I’ve not been able to focus on any single thing for long so I’ve felt pretty unproductive – I have done loads! just… it’s loads spread across several projects. So yeah, when I feel unproductive it makes it difficult to talk to you, I feel like I don’t have anything to show for your support so I worry about letting you down…

Anyway, I am gradually making progress on Dead End – I don’t know if it will be done this month but it ~will~ be done and as I originally said, all patrons will get it 🙂

Also I want to make a little level of my Robin Game for $5+ patrons since that won the monthly build vote and I want to give a little more than just the test level it already has. I should have that ready this week 🙂

Also also I do want to say thanks for your support, I know I’m kind of… scatterbrained (that’s the word right?) at times and find it difficult to focus on one thing, but your support means I can just keep going until one of the things I’m poking at gets finished 🙂
