Continuing my way of making devlogs here being more about how I feel than the actual game itself, things are getting hard.

With 3 weeks left to start class again and around the same time to meet my personal deadline for the next alpha update of Soulchild, my lack of a capable PC to do online classes which I'm not even sure if I'll have because there's not even a clear plan on how classes are gonna be in my country, I'm stressing out trying to get a PC doing commissions to be able to afford it and at the same time working on my game because I go insane when I don't make progress with it

Everything is very stressful

I've been feeling on edge all of the time, hands and back hurt 24/7 and I can barely sleep, I feel burned out and I still push myself to do more because I feel like I don't have another option

BUT ON A MORE POSITIVE SIDE OF THINGS

Progress is slow but I'm not stopping, I've been working really hard doing pixelart for a project named Odd Infinitum

as well as advancing with Soulchild at the same time, Up there's a screenshot of the new area I'm working on, the eagle ruins, I hope to be done with the entire area soon, although progress is very slow due to the area being kind of big, and it needing different backgrounds depending on what part of it you're in

it'll be available on the september build that patrons can play, so if you're interested please swing by my patreon, you get access to regular content updates with more detailed descriptions and more screenshots/gifs on the game and access to the early access builds regardless of tier

But even if you don't join, I still appreciate your support and the fact that you took your time to read this blog post, so thanks for your attention, I'll continue to share updates here and on patreon, thanks for reading, I'll be back soon
