[Blog] Small Update
🕑 Added 2024-06-15 01:28:44 +0000 UTCRecovery State
I'm still in the process of recovering from from my recent surgery procedure - apparently it typically takes at least 2 weeks for the extraction sites to heal (at least for the most part). I don't know if my jaw issues have been fixed yet: it still clicks and feels weird - plus a few new issues were introduced by the procedure. But I guess I'll have to wait a bit before I can say for certain.
Although I feel like I'm probably good enough to resume working (in some capacity), I feel discouraged about my career and the artistic field around me. This leads to stress, and I wonder if that's responsible for my jaw feeling worse (I had a massive headache yesterday when I began to type this up). I dunno.
Demo Progress
I've used the last weeks developing the game project's next demo level. It's a bit straightforward (and perhaps a little too easy), so I'd like to make another level that's more creative. The first level doesn't even feature some of the newly added features, like ropes & harpy droppers.
For the second level, I'd like to push the scope of difficulty, tricks, and problem-solving a little bit. I might eventually like to make something a bit more like a Zelda/Simon's Quest, so developing a set of tools & a process for creating more tricky, exploration-based levels might be worthwhile.
31 Days of Female Link
October will arrive soon, and I'm considering a daily Female Link art challenge. The last time I did this was in 2022, and it seems to have been fairly well-received at the time. I think it's also one of the few unique & interesting forms of value I can provide. Haven't decided, but thinking about it.
That would be a lot of hard work, so if I do choose to take on this challenge again, other Patreon responsibilities will have to take a back seat to ensure I have enough time & energy.
Anyway, don't forget to eat & sleep.

Mmmm, wish I could help with the stress, but glad to hear you're still recovering (not so much there are other issues.) And I'm down for a 31 days of Link thing! I'll suggest something Link-related that month too to help out.

From the way you draw your female links to the way you put your whole heart into your game project, even with your streams and you going the extra mile to provide us some spectacular and marvelous works of arts, you're giving it your all! Just remember that and do your best to keep giving it your all without sacrificing too much of your own health and safety. 😁👍⭐

Oh, dang. That sucks to hear that you're still somewhat in pain. But, hopefully those pains will go away soon. Also, you're doing your best right now to provide a lot of content for yourself and for your own followers. Don't feel like your work isn't amounting to anything right now. It's because of your artwork that we were able to find the things we like about you! ☺️👍💕
