Man, burnout sucks.
It really feels terrible to falter this close to the finish line, and I really would feel so much better if I already had a handful of quest lines done and ready for a test build. However, having been here before, I know if I don't slow down to properly recover, it'll get worse before it gets better.
Thankfully, I have largely recovered at this point. I'm not just staring at the editor when I open it and try to get something done - I'm actually making some kind of progress. Right now all I have done is most of Ella's new fireside chats for the love shack and the Task List information for her new quests, but it's something, and I'll take wins where I can get them.
Less fortunately, Ella needs new renders for those fireside chats, and even less fortunately, I don't seem to have the old scene data for the original renders, which means all of her love shack renders need to be remade. This isn't the worst thing ever, since Ella's renders where among the first I made when I was first building everything for the love shack and her renders kinda need to be redone anyway. That didn't stop the pang of dread from all the extra work that I discovered I'll need to do, though.
This is also a rather busy week for me, so it's hard to say if I'll be able to get anything done except Ella's content. It's entirely possible that this Friday's Patreon/Subscribestar post is a test build that's just Ella, but I'm hoping that by the time everything is done for her, I'll have built up a little more momentum and I'll be able to fit at least two more Maids into the actual release of v0.23. As much as there's a large volume of quests and words and renders to be implemented, it's also all pretty straightforward, and that makes it easy to test.
Sorry for the last few weeks being as slow as they have been. Just know that I don't like it either, and I'm actively working at doing something about it.
