N2TheFire Games - Personal Update
🕑 Added 2024-09-23 15:31:47 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
First of all, sorry there wasn't a 'devlog 4' post this past weekend. I've been helping my brother move and neither of us are in very good shape. He is disabled and we had no one to help, so it was a long process of moving shit, taking a break, moving more shit, etc...
Needless to say, I am exhausted. And now it's back to work (full-time job) and I can't afford to miss any work. I am stuck in the writing process, and I am not 'feeling it' for the last part of the episode. That means a rewrite and I'm just not coming up with anything. It's more than a case of writer's block this time. It's stress with other crap I am dealing with currently. The way I want these last episodes to go is challenging already because there is a lot of things that need to happen, and I have to figure out how to make it work without it feeling like it is happening too fast. And also, without looking like a lot of 'filler'. These are issues that I've had with my games since I started. Sure, I've improved a bit, but it still isn't the best story management.
Given the state of things for me right now, my best option at this point is to get away from it for a few weeks. Deal with the crap that is eating away at my personal life at the moment, then come back with fresh eyes and hopefully get it completed. So, I'll be taking a 2 to 4 week break, sort of. I have some artwork (just some random renders I had been building to share with you guys, plus some for patrons). I'll probably be posting those at random times during this break. When you see 'devlog 4' posted, that will mean I am back on top of the writing.
Meanwhile, I know some of you may drop from supporting and that is perfectly okay. Just wanted you to know that if you stick around, I do have some patron/subscriber-only content (for all tiers) planned and I will be posting that stuff. I welcome your comments and personal messages. And I thank you guys who continue to stick around in between major game updates.

Fire, your life matters above all. Rest is good, and as a creator myself, I can feel the stress causing a lack of creativity. Take all the time you need and I will still be supporting you.

ps: you need nekos to give you assistance and massages and take you out to eat.

do what you need to do and what you want to do; we're here.

Hey Fire, just a thought. You are writing a story, and us hungry supporters will forever be hungry for more. But if you think for one moment we do not accept that you have a life? Then I don't think you know us at all. Do what you need to do, take the time you need, and ffs stop feeling bad AND apologising. We have your back and I personally would rather have my anticipation rewarded than have you in distress. Oh, and by the way, how very dare you have a life! :P

Please take off all the time you need, both personally and professionally. We care about your physical and emotional health. I value you too much to ever drop you.

You can't plan through things like a hurricane. I think we may have had the same one come through here. It was downgraded, but still nasty. Helping family is a good thing. Sometimes you just needa break. Take time and smell the roses. I will be here.

虽然我还没有钱捐助给你，但我还是会一直支持你的，希望你和你的家人能够健康幸福的生活。Come on!

It's all good fire, kick back, unwind, de-stress and play a few of your friend’s games to get back in the zone. The main point is that these are your games and you should make them at a speed that is comfortable for you. I know I have said this before, but us true supporters are here for you, we love you mate [in a friend way], and love your work. Do what you have to do to get back in the zone. Hang out with your brother and friends, and great job being there for him, I'm always there for my parents and other relatives as well.

Don't worry, I won't be unsubbing you. These things happen in life. Just look after yourself and your family, and of course only when you are ready to resume work then come back to it. I don't think you have stopped between all the updates between both vn's, well not much of a break, you deserve it regardless, the break that is, take as long as you need I won't be going anywhere and I am sure a lot of others won't either not if they are real fans :) take care!
