I'd update today but I did it on friday

The title basically says it all. I want to get back on a schedule of posting updates tuesday night-ish, however since I updated half a week ago I, obviously, will not be updating this week. Also I feel sick. That does help in the making sure I don't work on things category. That having been said, I've got a portion of the Catriona dialogue sorted. I will likely take a day to toy with the code as well and see if I can fix a bug or two, and then call it a week on that. Baby steps and all that. Also, writing lots of content when most content is small snippets is super hard. Another reason it's not getting done quickly.

Update next week,

The realism post

So, as you all know like, a month ago I said I'd be ready in a week or two. And I wasn't ready in that week or two, obviously. I have a bunch of excuses but that's what they are really. Excuses. I was distracted writing my book(which I've now finished), my ex showed up(for a whole day), I'm developing a late night social life(which I could still balance with writing Shield High) etc. The point is there's a lot of reasons it doesn't get done, but those aren't good reasons and I should probably front up to that. So, I'm being realistic here. A lot of my passion for Shield High just...isn't there anymore. I don't get excited to write about it like I used to, and programming it is more a chore than ever. Which is why I'm saying it's entirely possible I will do the thing I never wanted to do and abandon the game before it's finished.

All that having been said, I'm not abandoning the game today. I am, in fact, releasing 0.63 which has forbidden rooms, some of which work. I don't know why it lists ones that aren't forbidden and I can't be bothered to fix it. The number in the top left corner will indicate if you're in one or not. Also adding in a thing that makes the girls go to class. I will be trying to spend every night for the next week on Shield High. What will I be doing? Whatever the fuck takes my fancy right now, writing dialogue for characters probably. I know it's a pretty shitty thing to do but the first priority for this project is getting my heart back in it and to do that I need to fall in love again. And Catriona is pretty. I wanna do Catriona stuff.

I know it's not enough to justify the wait and those of you who have kept posting comments and stuff, I really appreciate it. I do see them even if I don't respond most of the time. Mostly out of guilt, since I'm being realistic. I hate coming back to tell you guys that all I've done is fuck up. Which should hopefully motivate me to not fuck up iuno. Don't get your hopes up. Do pester me with polite e-mails. By polite I mean...honestly anything other than asking for an update schedule. Make some girls in Kisekae for me to want to steal. Write a fan fiction or something iuno. Hell, just post me something I wrote for that one I probably won't notice at this stage. I'm rambling at this point so I'm going to stop.

Sorry and enjoy,

Pudding Earl
