Thanks for the kind words! (previously, I have no idea what to call this.)
🕑 Added 2024-03-21 22:54:02 +0000 UTCHey all, I've been mostly unavailable for about two weeks. At the start I was still kinda answering some dm's etc but my heart wasn't into it.
So to just jump into it, a close family member had to go to the hospital. Quickly. And then a whole lot of short nights, hospital visits and stress induced headaches and a telephone which was ringing a lot followed. I had to change the ringtone because hearing the old one now triggers all sorts of unpleasant feelings. It was roller coaster with things going up and down and up again. The situation has somewhat calmed down now to a degree where I can start thinking about other things. It's not quite over and it might not be for a while to come, but that's the short and skinny of it.
EDIT: There was the potential for a very bad(the worst) outcome but that didn't happen. It just took a while for that to become clear to everyone. Me being too vague about this can have easily given you the wrong impression which is the reason for this edit. Sorry, I should've been way more clear about that right from the start, but I was still somewhat out of it because of the entire situation. My family member is recovering and I'm incredibly relieved!
Maybe I'll talk a bit more about it when it has become a really tiny blip in the rear-view mirror of life. Can't wait for that moment!
That means I've been missing a lot of maybe important stuff and I'll start trying to catch up on that from now. Honestly, it feels like I took a deep dive and only just now resurfaced. Expect me to be a bit out of things in the immediate future. Oddly enough I didn't completely stop working on FET. It's just ingrained too much and what else was I going to do during the "in between moments"? Still, all of that was mostly me being at my most ineffective and thus not much was done during that time. I did manage to practice my thousand-yard stare a lot!
Generally speaking, I'm a practical hands-on kind of person so what does this mean for this months' FET build? I'm not entirely certain I'll have enough for a build. I mean... certainly not what you'd expect of a regular FET build, but I would like to release something if at all possible. Maybe a tiny one? I dunno yet, I'll have to discover that for myself in the upcoming week.
I'm keeping this update short and simple but I don't want it to be only about bad news so how about I give you my impressions on the Avatar Netflix series? I saw it before all of the chaos started and would've talked about it in an earlier update so why not now.
I fully expected it to be a horrible and I didn't even know it was released at the time, but then i visited a friend while he was watching it. Me: "Hey is that the new ava-" Friend: "Yes, it released today or yesterday." Originally I was going to wait for the reviews, but watching something together is always better than by yourself so I watched the first episode right then and there. We watched it together over the next couple of days/week. Out of order, don't ask.
Basically we could enjoy the good parts and laugh during the bad parts so we simply had a good time watching it.
To me this Netflix adaptation would always be a "reenactment" of the real thing, so when it was bad I could simply laugh at it and when it was good I could enjoy it as an extra. It turns out it was both. I'll absolutely want to watch the rest of it but I feel no hurry to do so. Season two can arrive whenever it wants.
Some short points. I liked Sokka, though not immediately. I never really warmed up to this Katara. Zuko was good, uncle Iroh was fine too. Just seeing Mai, made me angry because... well she's not a good casting choice imo. Some actors I've seen so often I couldn't unsee them as their other character in other series. Ozai looked great by the way, but he and Azula... weren't written the way I wanted them to be. Azula is perhaps my biggest problem with all of this.
There was one moment which I don't think was present in the cartoon. I'm not certain whether it's canon and mentioned in books/comics, but when the origin of the crew on Zuko's ship was revealed... well that was a great moment. Fit to be in the cartoon itself. I liked the Bumi part too, though I might be one of the few people who does judging from some reviews I watched afterwards.
So basically, if you have low to no expectations and are willing to accept it's its own thing and doing it's own thing in places it can certainly be enjoyed... though my opinion might have been skewed by watching it with others and not just by myself. Btw. I'm curious what Toph will look like in the next season/s.
I have shitload of dm's to get through(which I won't be able to do today) and still a lot to do in general so I'll keep it at this. If I won't be able to put anything together for this month I'll write another update telling you about it, but if I can prepare something you'll notice in the regular way : )
Talk to you later!

There's no discord, but you can always send me a dm. ( Though I can be tardy with replying at times I usually answer it within a couple of days)
Symbiotic

Jarhead
Take the time you need. I hope everything is okay now

There are times in our lives when some things are more important than the others, so don't feel bad for being late with the update! Keep your head up! And get well to your relative! 🙂
Seiryu
All the best to you and your family!

Definitely take some time off, monthly updates are nice but if you need to slow down or take a break that is completely fine! I hope you get through this, and just know people care.
EchoTheWorld
Take all the time you need off, Mity. The builds for the games can wait. Your health is important.
Drax
Do whatever you need. Mental health is very important, everything else can wait.
Myriad
Life happens, we all need breaks to deal with it. IMO, don't worry about a release this month. I loved the pick for Sokka, he has the right amount of sass. I was disappointed with Zuko's actor though: he was quiet and didn't talk enough about honor.
Rollenspielfan
Hey Mity, i want that you take all the time you need. Nobody of us want a halfhearted FET. And i dont like the Thought that you maybe have to force yourself to it to work on it at all. Mental Health and Health generally is the most important thing in life. So please take good care of yourself. We want you to feel happy again and not guilty for not delivered something to us. And i Appriciate your Honesty about that private stuff of yours. If you want talk to us about it later in your own pace of Course then you can do it if you will.
Raziel

That_dude72
No worries and if at any point you need ideas we're here and trust me I have some solid ideas.
Don’t Stare Into The Sun
Take as much time of as you need. I know FET is your own project you built from the ground up but you come first.
Charley H
where abouts do i find the link for FET?
Drew
No worries dude
rpglaster
MITY please take your time. We know you work hard, you’ve accomplished a ton in the games you’ve released. While we are all eagerly awaiting what you put out, know that the majority care much more about your health and wellbeing. Please allow time for your self. We’ll still be here.
JDSpins
MITY-bro, take your time. We'll still be here.

Truth be told, I’d been looking forward to an update… but not one like this. Sorry to hear the news man. Wish there was something to do that could help. Haven’t watched the Netflix avatar myself.. but maybe I’ll try it with an open mind. And don’t worry about the build! Take the time you need. I’m sure many would rather a more full build that wasn’t rushed over a small one regardless.
CaptchaRobotInfiltrator
Real life comes first. Always. Take care of yourself and what goes on in your life before taking care of a porn game. Whatever is going on, take as much time as you need. We'll still be here when you get back.
Marshall Iblis
I'd much rather you not scramble to try to make something small and just either put out something for April or switch to 18Titans and come back to FET in May.
Dubsington
You can't create good porn if you're not into it, and you're not going to be into any kind of porn when that level of RL shit is going down. Take your time.
Aaron Fife
I watched "Rings of Power" with the same attitude and expectations. I basically see it as fan fiction since there was absolutely no way that it could ever live up to the expectations set by "The Lord of the Rings" films. With that in mind, I rather enjoyed watching the show, even with its faults. I haven't seen the live action show yet, but I might give it a try after reading your reaction to it.
funnypickles101
No rush man sorry to hear life’s been rough on you. Take your time and don’t push yourself. Your mental health takes top priority and I’d rather you take the time you need over killing your self to push something out for us. We can wait. Family can’t. Much love man keep your chin up. This too shall pass

I didn't like the Ozai/Azula dynamic at all. She was supposed to be the favorite child. A prodigy that never had to work hard to get noticed. Also, they made it seem like Ozai cared about Zuko way too much. I think Ozai's actor was a great pick. I feel like Mai, Ty Lee and Master Pakku were bad casting choices. Katara also fell flat for me. The fact that Aang only waterbended while being controlled by others was horrible. Also the fact that Aang and Katara had zero interest in each other was just weird.
Nice Ice Baby
Take as much time as you need. Personal shit comes first, and if you need a break, We'll still be here.
Goyaso
Yeah bro, don't worry. You work when you have the chance to do it, I can play the game again, it is not important this, but for me is how I improve my English haha, there are a lot of vocabulary with fun words. So, take it easy bro. And for me, the Netflix adaptation was a disgrace, specially for the cast. I don't like Katara, mai, tai lee (Oh my good, for me was the most beautiful of all at the cartoon) and azula, because the is to chubby haha. Now, like Long Feng sould say: Go Fvck a Fvck hahaha
steven tims
Take your time and relax. We will be here if you would like to hear support from us! Take care of the things precious to you as best you can and keep being awesome!
Bill Kurtis
Well, hoping things pick up for you. As for FET, for what it's worth, I'd prefer you hold off to release a build with more girth when it's ready. If you want to do something special for the patrons, maybe have a poll where we can vote on some choice element (or bonus scene) in upcoming FET or 18T builds like we did back in Book 4 SL. Or a picture or sketch... Or nothing, if nothing stirs your loins. One month extra wait for this won't kill anyone.
Akylas
Love to you and yours MITY, family health stuff takes priority over everything not just because it should (though of course it should) but because it will do so anyway. There's no getting around that. Take the time you need, and don't at all feel rushed or pressured to meet some quota or guidelines just because you think we want it more than we want you to be stable and rested. I wouldn't be at all put out if there wasn't anything at all. You've absolutely backlogged an incredible amount of personal time, by my reckoning at the very least, and I doubt anyone here would demand differently. Hope things look up soon for all involved, and may contentment find you and yours.
WonderWeedMan
It's okay if there's no build for this month, I know how hard it can be with sudden "health " things in the family. If you need time, take it.
Classhattery
Take care of yourself man and feel better, we'll be here for ya.
TheWaffleMan
i think you call this a deserved rest dude no one’s gonna be blaming you for stopping work entirely let alone just being slow with it
