Hey Hey!

[Huge bummer non-game related personal stuff below, (trigger warning?) Very no-fun story excuse for delay down there]

[Skip the following paragraph for Updates!]

So sorry about some late updates lately, I've said that I've been handling family matters for a few months now, I was just taking care of a very important family member (my uncle) who I lived with very closely in my childhood.  Towards this month I had been there almost every day and things got real bad. Last week we stayed in the hospital for a whole day, until he passed away, and I still hadn't believed that, everything got worse so quickly. He was still quite young to have to... go though everything for the past 2 years, he shared a lot of the best moments in my life, and it pained me to have seen him in great pain, even til the last day. So, sorry for the incoherent thoughts, I just wanted to write everything as I was thinking.

Anyway, it was too much of a bummer, it's gonna be okay though, but I just wanted to give some updates about why the schedule have been a little bit inconsistent these months. I really hope to push out more updates in the future. <3

[Reminder: Check if you're in a dungeon in the latest saves, leave and save in another places before downloading new version so you won't get image showing errors.]
