Hello, FreeHolders! It has been a little while. And I'm sorry that I have had to keep you waiting for a time.
Let me assure you that I am alive, I am well, and I am the happy father of an beautiful and healthy baby girl. To be frank, fatherhood has been full of difficult and unexpected challenges that had previously sapped my wherewithal to apply myself fruitfully to the game. I have had to take some significant personal time to adapt to the fantastic new reality of having a child.
However, I am pleased to announce that this phase is ending. Starting tomorrow, the first of May, I will be able to set aside a regular work period for FreeHolder on a daily basis, with an eye to first fixing up extant bugs and cleaning up glitchy or poorly explained systems, and then moving on to polishing up the mid-game and then finally the endgame, which though a bit nebulous is now considerably more defined than before.
You have been quite patient and this is due in no small part to your belief that FreeHolder really is a unique and fun game, and you will see as rapid progress as I can manage. There is still some ways to go to 1.0 here, but you can look forward to feeling like the train is starting to pick up steam again.
You are all what makes FreeHolder possible. Without you, we are not a games company, but just a couple of fellows with a dream. You help us make our dream real. This is not trivial. I owe you all a great deal. Much love. See you tomorrow.
Chris
