My status & Serenity 1.3 devlog
🕑 Added 2021-12-31 13:17:36 +0000 UTCHello my friends...
Here we are at the end of 2021. Serenity is now about a year and a half old. I announced in my last update that version 1.3 would be the last for this build of Serenity, and that I would be taking a break from that project to focus on Last Human. The last few months have been a mess of setbacks in my personal life which has set everything back. And now a new setback has presented itself. I have covid again.
Yep, AGAIN. My wife and I both have covid again, and we didn't even get to do Christmas. We've been locked down since she first developed symptoms on Christmas Eve day. It sucks because Christmas is something that we both love very much. Anyway, we had to cancel our plans for family to come. We had some friends drop off groceries and other items we needed and have locked ourselves down. For me, this covid infection is different. It has been like a super severe cold and just this morning I noticed my right ear was hurting and I can't hear out of it. Also, I was losing my balance a lot. Turns out that covid can actually cause you to have an inner-ear infection which affects your balance. Yay.
Serenity 1.3 development has been slow, but I didn't stop working on it completely. All the writing is done, and I did get some of the first images rendered. But it's hard to focus while I am now dealing with this ear infection. The coughing and everything else were one thing but now with this ear infection... fuck. I honestly don't know how much more bullshit I can deal with at this point. To add insult to injury, while my wife is locked down, her job doesn't allow her to work remotely. So, we're out her paycheck. Luckily the small amount I make in patreon helps. So, those of you who are subscribed, thank you so much. I've always used this income to first invest back into my projects. But now I'll lean on it in a time of need. Bless you all for sticking around, I love you guys, really.
Now I am going to shut everything down for a few days and try to get well. I'll count my blessings, rest, and heal. Once this mess has cleared out of my system, I'll get back to work again.
Happy New Year to all of you! Love you guys,
...Fire

So sorry to hear you've been struck down by the 'rona, Fire, hope you make a swift recovery and get your balance back! I'm gonna up my subscription on here for a few months, like HogRocket above said it won't buy you a Lamborghini but I hope it helps ease the way a bit, will update it on Sunday night when wages go in my account. Take care my friend.

Sending you thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for both of you N2! get the rest you need and get better!
I got sick from my visit to my grandparents for Christmas. So I have been on the recovery road myself. Rest up and feel better! The update can wait.

That sucks to hear youre sick again, I hope you get better soon. Interesting fact: If you plug one ear but leave the other open you will have balance issues and will list to one side and it will get worse until you remove the plug from that ear. I find it weird that your sense of hearing impacts your balance so strongly.

Damn N2, that really sucks, and I'm really sad to hear bout you and your wife getting sick again. Take care, rest up, and I will send some healing energy your way. Just focus on recovering, both of you, that comes first, everything else is secondary. I too have other games I play, plus I am getting to work on my own...

So sorry that you and your wife are sick again. That's the problem with all these new variants. Take care of yourselves and don't worry about the game. It's like I told Braindrop when he was agonizing about not being able to meet his deadline, it's not that this is the only game I play.
