February Update
🕑 Added 2016-03-01 03:29:35 +0000 UTC--an update--
I am usually very private about my personal matters, but as my patrons I feel you deserve to know about a recent life-threatening occurrence. I don't like to talk about these things because it needlessly worries people and makes me seem like an attention-seeking complainer. I just returned from the hospital after 28 long hours of no sleep, food or water. I am exhausted, but I just felt like writing this up before I go get some bed rest. **I am currently OK so please don't worry!**
Note: This recent event won't severely impede the progress of any of my projects. I will continue to work on my projects each day after a short period of recovery time, so worry not!If you only want to know about my flash projects, please skip down to the bottom of this update where I talk about that.
--medical stuff--
( skip this section if uninterested )
I have had a physical problem with my esophagus since I was a child, causing me to be unable to swallow my food properly. Usually about 1 to 2 times almost every single dayfor about the last two decades of my life, my esophagus goes into a spasm while eating a meal, causing food to become trapped temporarily. When this occurs, I am unable to swallow anything -- including liquids -- until I solve the problem.
This usuallyisn'ta big deal as I've adapted to it and it's just sort of a normal part of my life, and95% of the time I can solve it by simply relaxing the muscles (meditation, breathing exercise, massage therapy, etc.) until they calm down, but sometimes it's not so easy.In rare cases, my esophagus can stay constricted for multiple hours and I have to explore a wide variety of methods to fix the issue.The muscle spasms have almost nothing to do with the actual bite size, so simply taking smaller bites isn't always the answer. The doctor who performed my surgery is supposed to call me tomorrow and provide some insight on the exact cause of all this, so hopefully there's some good news around the corner.
On this last Sunday at around 6 PM, I had this problem occur. After trying virtually everything to solve the issue, crawling the web for answers, I spontaneously coughed up some blood and said "uh oh". This was sometime in the early morning (I had not slept yet, been up all night trying solutions). Afterwards I began to weigh my options for medical care, and at 7 AM I started visiting a bunch of different health clinics to find a solution that would not cost me a fortune. I knew I needed a surgery to be performed, which was going to be extremely expensive, so I wanted to carefully weigh all of my options before jumping into something.
After a long, tedious, painful day of talking to physicians and experts, going all over town, I eventually learned that my only option was to go to the ER (emergency room) -- something I was actively avoiding due to it's outrageously high cost. I finally got admitted to the hospital at around 12 AM (Still no sleep) and I was finally able to get my surgery started at around 8 PM (Still no sleep). Yes, that means I basically waited around for 8 long hours in the "emergency" area of the hospital before being able to receive my surgery. Thanks, Obama. Although I'm still alive, my hospital bill can be a fate considered worse than death. I'm not actually sure how I'm gonna pay for that. It might seem like I get a lot of money from Patreon, but almost all of it goes to bills, food, taxes, etc.
I'd also like to note that I am not writing this as a means to garner pity orreprieve. I consider this to be an serious event in my life that would be selfish not to tell others about. I exist because my fans allow it, and I feel they deserve to know if the person they've invested time, money and love into has went through something like this.
Thanks everyone ;~;
--about my projects --
Anyways, about my projects. I've been spending most of my time this month on one of my huge animation projects which features a new squirrel character. I've been working on this one for awhile, and based on feedback I've received from / about my other projects I'm sure people are really gonna love it. One thing I'm unsure of is how many options/features to add to it, so I may end up releasing a sort of unfinished "alpha" version of the project for patrons only, seeing what people are most interested in seeing, then completing the project with most of the requested content.
I actually ended up writing up (coding) a completely new game from scratch, a tactical strategy game with rogue-like elements. I think it'd be really fun in it's polished state, but I wasn't sure how far to go with it because I know most of patrons are primarily interested in adult animations, and opted not to spend a lot of time developing it.Making games is literally my childhood dream, so I'd like to eventually make a huge game project, given I can find the time (and budget) for it.That's sort of why I created Cloptopia. I sorta super-imposed my love of developing video games onto the adult animations I've become known for.
Also in case you missed the auction winner, I'm working on a flash for TehCait, so you can expect a tentacle animation involving a cat girl with impossibly huge tits somewhere down the line. I'm working on other stuff too, I like to jump around a lot so I never get burnt out... but it comes with the consequence of not being able to put out a new project very often...Anyways I should really go lay down now, I need to recover from all of this. I just wanted to make sure I wrote up a proper end of the month update before March begins.
Ultra-Super Love You All,
Mittsies ?
