I need your help
🕑 Added 2018-03-17 02:13:20 +0000 UTC hello, little birds. hope you've been keeping warm and wellso... this is a post I've been putting off for a while, and it's not one I'm happy to have to make. those of you who follow me on twitter may have noticed that I logged on just a bit ago in order to ask for some help. currently I'm facing down something of a financial crisis in my personal life. it's certainly nothing life-threatening, more just one of those times where everything's piled up or come to a head all at once, and it's more than I can deal with on my own. you are all some of the finest and most generous people I've had the pleasure of knowing, and I won't ask for more from you personally-- instead, all I'd ask is that if you know anyone who might have a taste for short weird experimental games, point them my way. encourage them to check out ANATOMY or some of my PWYW itch.io stuff and slide a few dollars to me. even just a dollar or two means a great deal, because those small purchases absolutely add up and they help more than I can express at times like these.
the other point of this post is something I'm just as unhappy about, but I don't think I can avoid it any longer. the fact is, I need to take a month off. I look back on the past few months and it feels like I've just been limping along, constantly late, talking about how rough things have been, and I've reached the point where every time I sit down to try and work I just end up scrapping everything and becoming a hot pile of stress-wrecked slag. I feel like I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. you've all been so kind and so patient with me and all of this stress is most assuredly self-imposed, but I've reached a point where I just... kinda can't deal right now. if I could take a few weeks to just recharge my batteries, catch up on some reading, and allow myself to rest without the constant mental self-flagellation I usually put myself through, I think it will do me a world of good. i absolutely understand if anyone wants to pull their pledges this month or even permanently, and I thank you for all you've given me. to everyone else, I'm sorry, but also I can't thank you enough for sticking by me. I know I say that a lot. I mean it a lot.
that's it for now I guess, with a little luck I'll be back in a few weeks, recharged and ready to get back to filling your mind's eyes with twitchy shuddery video-game weirdness. thank you again for everything, little birds. keep well out there <3

I can't speak for other patrons but it doesn't bother me at all - take a break and come back when you're ready. I would still be thrilled if you put out half as many games. Good luck with your money troubles, I hope things get better.

So, yesterday, on an impulse. I finally decided to play that weird game that RPS recommended a while ago. I had let it rot for like two weeks in one of my tab, waiting for the correct mood. It's not often that I can feel my skin crawl while playing an horror game and ANATOMY's reputation was definitely deserved. I guess I'm one of your patron now? Thanks for making weird and interesting game, I'll look forward to what you do next! I hope that whatever financial problem you were experiencing was slightly alleviated by my contribution. Good luck and I'll look forward to the end of your break!
