The Adventures of Unemployed man - Plot twist
🕑 Added 2025-09-12 22:16:51 +0000 UTCUpdate time!
Originally I hoped that, after my layoff, things would quite down a bit, and together with the increasingly colder weather, I would have a bit more time to spend on new Skyrim content.
But Fate had other Ideas for me and I blew right past yet another self imposed deadline for a release, and I wanna tell you what has influenced that faux pas.
Lawyering Stuff:
Its basically a continuation of my layoff.
While I THOUGHT that me and the others working at my company under a student contract would get the same treatment as everyone else and get a bit of severance pay, Our former employer decided to against human decency, and denied us that. Most likely under the assumption that the average student doesn't really have the means to fight back
But I'm not the average student, and so I'm engaged in a minor legal battle right now -.-
Sure, its just a very minor civil case, but to a harmony loving person like me, this caused me a sleepless night or two until I had figured out the process, whom I need to talk to, and what the possible costs and outcomes are.
The GOOD news is that the complicated part of FILING the case is done, and the hearing is only in late October, so this should not be an ongoing time eater.
Looming price increase
Another (unrelated) point I want to address is the Potential price increase I made a poll about a while ago.
Short story here: Ive decided against an increase and will leave tier pricing as is.
This had two reasons.
First one was my still rather pedestrian rate of new uploads. No matter the reasons, but my upload rate has decreased when compared to the last years. And since I'm not a venture capital backed mega corporation, I cannot charge MORE money for LESS product.
Second reason is the currency exchange rate. Recently, the Euro has been rather strong when compared to the USD, which means that everyone who DOESNT use Euros has pretty much experienced a minor price increase regardless. No need for me to make it even worse.
Lastly, a more happy topic:
I want to give the wider public a bit of an outlook on the current roadmap of new content.
Right now Im working on the last batch of paired animations for the Fountain. UNLESS yet another dumb thing happens, this should be done within the coming week.
And then we will finally have a new poll. horray!
About the options, we will likely get more Gameplay related stuff. Folks on the Discord have mentioned that, while new Devices are fine and dandy, having an organic way to experience them ingame is actually even more interesting. I do agree, and I think by now there is quite a selection of underused devices which only wait to be used in a scene or quest. Preferably one of the many existing mods of mine which aren't fully fleshed out yet.
And I think that's everything of relevance for now.
Once more, a big thank you to everyone who follows and supports me. Times are turbulent, but its always nice knowing that there are still so many people out there who enjoy my work. Despite all my misshaps.

Trust the legal stuff goes well. Don't let it stress you out though. Been there, done that, and you need to take a step back once in a while, just to draw breath. It's easier said than done, but look after yourself
