RJ Ramblings

Hey everybody! First of all, I'm feeling better than I was last week. Thanks for all the messages - it really does mean a lot that you care about how I feel. 

I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. I absolutely love that there are so many people interested in and playing my game. It is a little hard for me to keep up with everything, though, and I feel bad sometimes, because I'm letting some things slip. Between Patreon, Subscribestar, Steam, the Discord, Twitter, Reddit, and even F95, there's a lot of places that people message me, or want to say something to me, or just give me feedback about the game, and it's just me over here, so I have a hard time keeping track of everything. 

My primary focus is always the game - working on it comes before anything else. However, I do try to respond to a lot of the messages and feedback I receive. I have a couple of helpers (Grimtown & Scooter) who help me with some of these things, but I'm still feeling overwhelmed and it's becoming hard for me to focus on making the game, because of all these social interactions. 

Which is a big part of why I've been kinda pulling away from some of it. I love talking to people on Discord, but I've had to keep it closed most of the time lately, just to get things done. I've left Twitter, Reddit, and F95 mostly unchecked lately as well. 

I'm going to have to change the way I interact with people, unfortunately, as it's just too much for me to keep track of, and keep the same pace on the game, and still have time to live my life and spend with my partner and rest. Balance between these things is very important to me. 

So Patreon and SubscribeStar are always going to be the best way to contact me. You guys are always going to come first, since you're paying the bills. I likely won't be around quite as much in the Discord, and mostly contained to the patron-only chat. Again - because you guys pay the bills. 

I feel kinda bad for this, like elitist or money-hungry. It's not that I don't want to talk to everybody or listen to everybody's feedback on the game. It's just that there's so much that it's hard for me to even keep track of what everybody is saying and it just becomes noise. 

Anyways. I'm rambling. I guess that's the point, but I hope I got my thoughts across okay anyways. Love you all so much.
