So, what is going on...

Hello guys, long time no see.

I'll be honest with you, because of various circumstances I thought of the game as a closed chapter in my life. Yet, in last two months I recieved so many e-mails from you I understood this little project of mine grew into something bigger than I expected. Therefore, let me give you explaination on why there weren't any updates since August and what might happen in the future.

A) In september my HDD crashed and I lost a bit of my progress.  This wasn't actually that big of a deal since I made sure to make regular backups, it certainly didn't help with my motivation.

B) My situation in real life is hmm... not very good. Because of many problems (including health issues) I do not have time and resources to spare for the game. This includes...

C) Late november, my main PC, the one which was used to make The Dark Lord Rises finally gave up. I need new GPU, HDD and Power Supply to make it work again.

Therefore, until I deal with those problems, there is no chance for another release. However, I loathe leaving the game in such half-broken state as it is as of 0.3.1c, so I promise to you, I'll at least try to carry this chapter of a story to finish. I hope you can be patient with me.

  4. I agree with this Ookami. Although to start, it would probably be wise to make it have the donation process be on a "per major game update" basis before switching to a monthly basis. That way people may be more willing to contribute (or contribute more) even if you disappear for a while, since they wouldn't be giving up any money until you provide new content. I know there's been quite a few creators on Patreon that set it to a monthly basis, but provide little to no new content each month in an attempt to drag things out and milk as much money from their patrons as they can.

  5. I know you're still working on this game. I just wanted to let you know, that I LOVE this game. I love what it talks about, too. How Renan started out with so much hope, but the world just kept kicking him while he was down, but despite that, he's still a compassionate guy who cares about his friends. I just wanted to let you know the game means a lot to me. Thank you.
