UPDATE (ENG)
🕑 Added 2023-07-10 10:55:44 +0000 UTCHello people. I know that there was a long period of inactivity after the last post related to the game, and there was even a change in the Tiers to focus the Patreon exclusively on that project. After publishing this I will upload what I managed to do, finished or not, of the content of this, but first I would like to offer an apology to all those who contributed, since I cannot follow it, but what’s worse, I didn’t have the courage to admit that this was not going anywhere and appropriately announce the cancellation in due course. I explain:
Development started well, experimenting with ideas, sketches, animation techniques, drawing, etc. I started with the scenes, but over time I changed my ideas, my styles, and there came a point when I saw what I was doing and I didn't like it at all, so much so that I was ashamed to publish previews. I felt that I had to redo things, fix every detail, rethink scenes (especially the first ones, many of which were deleted), and in the end anxiety and stress ended up winning, since there was a lot I had to do, time has already passed and I had nothing finished to present. Each animation take could take me a whole month or more, and I tried to do several at once to compensate for the time, but obviously to no avail (it's not the way to work).
After that, for a long time I was sitting down, holding the pencil and not being able to do a single line on the tablet. I was mentally blocked, I felt bad, I tried to make commissions to distract myself by drawing something else but I couldn't finish them either (if anyone wrote me because of that, they know that at a certain point I even stopped answering messages).
Finally I did not know how to deal with the situation and I collapsed. I didn't want to go in and see my pages, I didn't want to feel like I was making excuses either, and the fact that I couldn't finish even one drawing, because for some reason it was more difficult for me to draw than ever, made me feel really bad.
Let it be clear that with this I am not trying to justify my way of acting; rather, I think that at least you deserve an explanation, even if it is late, and an apology from me, and if you want to stop following me, it is also understandable.
What I want to do now is start again, uploading content regularly as I did before, and let you know that if you contributed during this time, you can write to me for requests. I'm going to read you, search the history to find out how much you contributed and post your drawings shortly, so I hope that at least your contributions have not been in vain.
My deepest apologies. Thanks for reading, and I hope at some point I can restore your trust.
All the best.

ACTUALIZACIÓN (ESP)
Hola, gente. Sé que hubo un período largo de inactividad luego de la última publicación relacionada con el juego, y hasta hubo cambio en los Tiers para centrar el Patreon exclusivamente en ese proyecto. Luego de publicar esto voy a subir lo que alcancé a hacer, terminado o no, del contenido de este, pero antes quisiera ofrecer unas disculpas a todos los que aportraron, ya que no puedo seguirlo, pero lo que es peor, no tuve coraje para admitir que esto no iba a más y anunciar apropiadamente la cancelación en su momento. Me explico:
El desarrollo empezó bien, experimentando con ideas, bocetos, técnicas de animación, dibujo, etc. Comencé con las escenas, pero pasado el tiempo fui cambiando de ideas, de estilos, y llegó un punto que veía lo que estaba haciendo y no me gustaba nada, tanto que me daba vergüenza publicar adelantos. Sentí que tenía que rehacer las cosas, arreglar cada detalle, repensar escenas (sobre todo las primeras, que muchas fueron eliminadas), y al final me terminó ganando la ansiedad y el estrés, ya que era mucho lo que tenía que hacer y ya había pasado tiempo y no tenía nada terminado para presentar. Cada toma de animación podía llegar a tardarme un mes entero o más, e intenté hacer varias a la vez para compensar el tiempo, pero obviamente no hubo caso (no es la forma de trabajar).
Después de eso, por mucho tiempo fue sentarme, agarrar el lápiz y no poder hacer ni una línea en la tableta. Estuve bloqueado mentalmente, me sentía mal, intenté hacer comisiones para distraerme dibujando otra cosa pero tampoco las podía terminar (si alguno me escribió por eso, sabrá que en cierto punto hasta dejé de contestar mensajes).
Finalmente no supe cómo afrontar la situación y me derrumbé. No quería entrar a ver mis páginas, tampoco quería sentir que daba excusas, y el hecho de no poder terminar ni un dibujo, porque por alguna razón me costaba más que nunca dibujar, me tenía realmente mal.
Que quede claro que con esto no intento justificar mi forma de actuar; más bien, creo que como mínimo merecen una explicación, así sea tardía, y unas disculpas de mi parte, y si quieren dejar de seguirme también es entendible.
Lo que quiero hacer ahora es empezar de nuevo, subiendo contenido regularmente como hacía antes, y que sepan que si aportaron durante este tiempo, pueden escribirme para pedir requests. los voy a leer, buscaré en el historial para saber cuánto aportaron y publicaré sus dibujos en la brevedad. Espero así que al menos sus aportes no hayan sido en vano.
Mis más sinceras disculpas. Gracias por leer, y espero en algún momento poder restaurar su confianza.
Un saludo.

Well, sometimes things don't work out. But now I'm back so, back to content. Thanks for your support!

Oh man. I'm sorry things didn't work out :(

You have my sympathy for being in such a complicated situation as an artist. It's an arduous battle mentally to overcome or stop completely. I've been a supporter for a while due to your works, but when you stopped updating or giving notice months later or more, I feared the worst had happened in your life. Lack of passionate spark, real life interference, or something else? I couldn't be certain, so my pledge sadly had to be discontinued. However, now that you're active, I felt relieved for your ongoing existence. Thanks for coming back and offering an explanation even if it took around two years to come forward with. Best of luck moving onward with future content.
MaxEma
Thanks a lot! I won't disappoint!
Nicole Sunstone
Welcome back! Definitely looking forward to your art again! :D
MaxEma
Thanks so much! I'll do my best to keep the good content!

Whoa been a long time! But I understand. I figured something like this is a huge undertaking. But we're happy to see you again! Get better soon, and we look forward to seeing art from you again!
