No I got electricity back before the post, but it was just to keep you people updated, and not leave you in the dark like I was
And yes, it was nice to get back to hot food at least, lol xD
But I like those moments, where you get back to the conditions most people on earth are living with (not really, still had potable water), just to keep your feet on the ground.

For collaborators, yes, I talk about artists, or writers, or animators, but people involved in more than just a ponctual help, with whom you can plan/do regular work/games, and save some massive chunks of time for the moment forever locked on some endlessly cycling aspects.
Just like before, when ‘doing graphics myself’ meant I couldn’t do more than a game every 3 months (give or take), and couldn’t work on more than a game at once.
Having a ‘regular’/reliable artist allowed me to jump to “1 game a month” (or currently more like “3 games projects in parallel”), saving myself massive time & energy ressources.
The same way, most animations, or writings, or flash data conversion, could be delegated to other people for most parts, allowing me to work on other aspets, and boost up production as energy to unknown horizon.
But for now, it’s just weeks and weeks of precious time invested in vain efforts and communications, alas.

Hi,
Shamefully, I… don’t remember, lol!
The game has hundreds of scenarios, poses, campaigns and features I wired one by one like I could at every step, it’s a monstruous diabolic machine, very hard to follow!
But I think those scenarios are indeed those needing passwords to be unlocked by Patreons, as in-built rewards for giving us the possibility to pursue the journey!
