Most people can understand going through depression, ups and downs, rough times in general. Everyone feels for you and wishes you all the best with feeling better.

With that being said you just invested a healthy amount of time into an Easter event that literally nobody asked for, that the community has been trolling about since recognizing you’ve been online the past few days. Which maybe you’ve noticed or maybe you haven’t.

It’s very clear that everyone is anticipating Raj’s combat achievements to be the “next update”. It’s gone through two betas and have been tested for an extensive period of time now. So during your “down time” why not allow this update to be pushed through? Why continue to bottle neck the people within your corner?

There comes a point where when you reject the help you need for so long, eventually that help will no longer be available when you recognize you should’ve taken it from the start. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen here.

I understand the frustration, and I reckognize that many of you have probably shown more patience than I deserve. For those who don't struggle with the psychological and emotional issues that I have, it probably doesn't seem to make much sense what I do or why I do it. I can't blame you for it, although the negative comments isn't what I needed. Constructive criticism, asking me if I'm going to release the combat achievements anytime soon, sure, that's fine. But saying I did something that "literally nobody asked for" doesn't quite help with trying to bring up the energy I need to do what needs to be done. I may be an overly sensitive person, no denying there, and I can't expect others to take into account or tip-toe around my sensitivities, but constructive criticism really is the best way forward for everyone involved.

What Marymark said pretty much encompasses what I feel - I felt like making an easter event, so I did that. It may not be what you guys want the most right now, but it's what I wanted to do and something that helped me get back on track with working on this game as I so badly want to. If anything, I should probably work out more of similar small projects, to keep coding PkHonor fun, keep me motivated and give me the energy I need to do the things I dread doing (like reviewing and releasing the work of other coders, which is undoubtedly the least enjoyable and most stressful part, because reading code is just plain boring and it's very stressful to release something without fully knowing how everything works and whether it'll introduce major bugs or dupes).

In my defence, designing and coding the easter event only took me a day and a half to do. Nothing too big and nothing that I wanted to spend too much time on, holiday events are only temporary, but it's something I wanted to do to get back into coding after being absent for several months.

Now I'd like to get the combat achievements out, along with a couple of smaller updates that are (pretty much) ready for release. One thing at a time. Let's keep this train rolling.

Can't quite disagree with this. It's something we're working toward, and one of mine and Rapsey's next long-term goals. It has quite some technical difficulties to overcome given our current dev system, but we're working on that.
