Notice Update
🕑 Added 2025-08-05 02:03:10 +0000 UTCWell, I wanted to write this on Saturday to be posted on Sunday but I've spent a lot of time sleeping, and I mean a lot.
For starters, I did go to the ear doctor on Friday, I got told that yeah: I did wound my ear and on top on that it got infected. The infection is mostly ear fungus again so no need to worry about it scalating too much.
I got the respective meds and I've been using them the whole weekend; something that I'm slightly unsure about is if the meds themselves were making me sleepy: I'll be honest, it was probably just the exhaustion of not being to sleep even decently for 3 days straight...
As I said above I spent a lot of time sleeping during the weekend, almost 2.5 entire days ๐ . I did try to work but it didn't really work out even when I was feeling gradually better from the sleep. In that regard, the doctor said it would be around 3 weeks for full recovery, I got told that the wound was healing pretty quickly and I should be able to get back to proper work conditions around Friday or next week.
It sucks that I will have to wait the whole 3 to go swim again but at least I'm not losing too much time of work, it seems that the first week was the hardest one and now that is over, things should get easier and I'll be able to work back on the art quickly enough.
I'm still unsure how much this will delay the demo; I'm hoping that it doesn't but for now it could be between 0 and 21 days (this last one is worst case scenario).
I don't think I'm forgetting anything important right now so I'll just say thanks for your patience. Usually when I get sick it's just the seasonal cold or such; which, granted, take a day or two off work but it's never something this bad. I'm sorry that this happened, I'll make sure to do everything my doctor says to prevent this from happening again... even if the hard pain was 3 days only it was awful... ๐ญ
Next post should be about news on the demo, maybe around the 11th-18th since that's a good time to see how my ear recovers.
Also thanks for your well-wishes, I do appreaciate it and it seriously boosted my morale a lot, I'll just try resting harder this night to heal faster.

Thanks, I'm already writing the more "formal" news, I'm already healthy again and the progress it's really good, but I really needed the time I lost with the infection to get the game done this month. I'll post the details later but there's not much left to be done to get this out.

Please take time to recover your game is really amazing, so no need to rush. Assuming from this post the worst case scenario happened, so I hope you are doing well! Again, no need to rush your well-being is the most important, so rest well and stay healthy!

Happy to see you on the road to recovery.

I do that more often than not, it's just that I really want to at least get the art done asap, I'm taking it easy still though, thanks!

I appreciate your dedication to the game! But still, please, at the very least stay healthy and balanced. A healthy body is a healthy mind and these things just happen, so don't feel bad for needing to prioritize your health!
