Monthly Update - First of the Year Edition
🕑 Added 2025-01-30 21:57:57 +0000 UTCFirst month of 2025 is almost over, which of course means another monthly update! This time, many personal things are looking much better than last year. Some of the usual questions have been discussed in previous updates, so if you want more details you can check those. But let's quickly revisit a few important issues, just in case.
First, the good old eyesight medical drama. After the operation, my eyesight has been slowly getting better, although it will probably never be quite as good as it used to be. Still, it's pretty good again as long as I keep my screen time in reasonable limits and use some eyedrops, especially during this cold and dry period.
The second is Offcuts 0.4 release. As mentioned before, it's practically ready, I'm just trying to get a good timing down so that I can continue immediately afterwards, without a huge pause again. Previously, I was also pondering to put an end to this hobby afterwards if my health or motivation ran out, but for now, I'm planning to continue for some more. Currently I'm finishing a full 3D prototype, which should be in a playable/readable demo shape in a month or two. I have mentioned this in previous updates, but it was always a bit uncertain, especially after my eyesight issues. But now that things have ended more or less happily, I'm planning to finish the prototype quickly and already made some good progress during my winter vacation. This way, I can just release Offcuts 0.4 and immediately continue with whatever comes next (be it 2D or 3D), so expect a poll or two about this eventually, after some demos. More technical details will be in later posts once it becomes relevant. Also, with an extra day every week to spend with this and my other hobbies, I can hopefully get things moving again soon.
As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!
