Hi hi, dragon fans! It's been a while since my last State Of The Realm post - too long, in fact. I’ve been dwelling in a big bank of brain-fog since the start of the year, and trying to figure out exactly why that might be (overwork? seasonal depression? burnout? pituitary nonsense?). Turns out I have ADHD! And have had it forever, but nurturing Ravager as it grows has suddenly made it a problem.

The good news is that this is typically very responsive to medication, which I am commencing imminently. I’m not saying that a taste of Malagar’s infernal crystal stash will transform me into a productivity wyrm overnight - but I’m not saying it won’t do that. Just in case, I’ve brought Midnight on board as a transitional project manager, and Nyah in a more persistent capacity as my glamorous assistant.

The merit of being a whole-team production is that progress still gets made, even when the executive layer is dysfunctioning. So there’s lots to look forward to for you all! Amon Ra has just completed an impressive roster of new animated scenes, DoItToJulia and her writing squad are busily fleshing out the game with oft-requested content, Sintax Error is providing our waifus with some facial beauty treatments, HereToHelp is continuing to prettify our UI and brief our artists, Irrelevant is working on some little treasures for Steam’s point shop, and Mattrex is continuing to chip away at the next main plotline development.

We’ll keep up our monthly updates, big or small, while I am getting myself back to full capacity. But hopefully we’ll see fewer of the ‘small’, and much more of the ‘big’. Thank you for your patience - I look forward to seeing it well rewarded. Time to sharpen those claws!
