Update on the game

Hello everybody.

I'm getting a lot of questions about when the next update will be released. No, it won't be released today. I wrote a post about this a month ago explaining the situation and why updates will be delayed (not for long, about a month, a month and a half at worst). Here's a summary:

• The game was deindexed, which badly affected discoverability and reduced revenue.
  
• If I continue working on the game full-time, I won't have anything to eat in no time and could eventually become homeless, which is not on my bingo card this year.
  
• To compensate for the lost sales revenue, I have to take freelance jobs. Rather than bitching about my financial situation on X or something, I'm taking work - which is why I can't work on the game full-time right now.
  

That about sums it up. I'll start spending 80% of my time on the game in about 3-4 days, when I finish the freelance job I took a month ago. Once I'm back on it, I'll be able to estimate when the next update (v1.5.0-a3) will be released. Right now I'm thinking early October.

I never wanted any of this to happen, but it is what it is. I know it's frustrating for a lot of people, you guys have been waiting for the update today. I know not everybody checks my posts, so some of you may not have seen the previous delay notice. For some of you this is new, when it's really not.

This game is being developed by one person. I don't have many resources or a big budget, so I absolutely have to take side quests in order to survive.

Sorry about the whole thing. Even though it's not really my fault, I do feel guilty. The best thing I can do right now is release the next update as soon as possible.

I'll post a devlog soon to show progress and give y'all an exact release date for the upcoming update.

Thank you for supporting the game and being patient, I appreciate every single one of you! I promise to release the update before October 15.
