Back to it!

hello little birds!!

well, after however many weeks it's been (about 94 if my math is right), I think I'm ready to bring my self-imposed vacation to an end and get back to work.  it turns out I'm actually pretty miserable at relaxing, but I'm definitely in a better place than I was, and I'm ready to shake off the cobwebs and get the gears turning again.  it'll probably take me a little bit to bring all my systems back online but I'm aiming to have everything back on schedule here in the first couple weeks of May, so look for some stuff around that time!

one thing I have been doing is putting a lot of thought into how I can make this Patreon better going forward.  i've felt for a while now like I've been sort of spinning my wheels, and fatigue and depression have had a lot to do with that, but I'm taking steps to deal with those things and now I want to start doing more for all of you.  sometime here in the near future I'll probably jot some ideas down into an update that I'm sure I'll love some feedback on, so look forward to that too!

and on a final note, just... thank you.  thank you, thank you, thank you.  I was so scared to take this break for myself on top of having to ask for help, but the kindness and support you've all shown has been nothing short of astonishing.  like seriously, it's beyond description.  I don't deserve you all, I really don't, but it means the world to me that you're here and that you care.  I'm pretty sure I'm the luckiest creator on this whole site.  you're the absolute best and I truly love you.  thank you to everyone who spread the word about my stuff, thank you to all of my new patrons, thank you to any of your friends or loved ones who pledged or bought a game of mine (seriously, please thank them for me), thank you to everyone who boosted their pledges in my time of need (!!!) and thank you to everyone who left such encouraging comments and sent me uplifting messages and emotional support-- anxiety makes me struggle to respond to things or hang out on websites for very long, but I read them all, and they all mean more than I can express.

so that's that for now, think I'm gonna spend the night drawing worn-out furniture and trying to make music that sounds like the soundtrack to cursed Sega Genesis game.  feels good to be back

mama crow loves you, little birds.  like a whole hell of a lot
