Echo #N/A: Bad news

Bad news!

Due to bad financial situation of my family, I might have to get a job.

For few months or longer.

That means like two hours of Sector Six development per day max, which will postpone beta, Greenlight and basically everything.

​Theoretically I could start IndieGoGo campaign and push job away for few months.

If I could get few months, I could prepare Sector Six for commercial releases.

And with game being sold, maybe I would be able to avoid job.

But I hate having to beg people for money, especially because I know my campaign would suck.

So, if I'll get a job, I'll try to develop on my free time and start selling game as soon as possible.

If I won't, I'll start IndieGoGo campaign and hope for the best.

Continuing with bad news!

I quit school. Well, it's actually good news, more time for everything.

Except that now I might have to go to army, which would postpone Sector Six completely for like 9 months. Becoming a trained guy before world war 3.0 is not awesome either.

Also, I'm still not done with the boss.

Because I had to fix my computer again, because boss had nasty glitch I couldn't fix for some time, because making boss guardians takes so much time, because abilities for boss and guardians had to be remade several times, because…

I know this sounds pretty bad. Especially after all those echoes saying that everything is going great.

Things change creepily quickly.

Anyway, armoured colony seeker is going to be best boss I have ever made.

And that means it's going to be pretty good!

This week I spent a lot of time working on second boss guardian, gatherer.

Gatherer is pretty interesting enemy, it has a lot of armour, but most of it can be chipped away by destroying segments.

So, uh, until next week, maybe I'll have better news next time!

Hope you can sort your things out though.

I'm pretty sure if there wasn't Putinheim Russia most European countries would get rid of mandatory military service. I hate it, too, and that's why I decided I'll choose civilian service/non-military service. Too bad it lasts 11 months, but at least I get some precious work experience (it's pretty valuable in today's Finland where finding a job is like finding gold in a river).

Anyway, that's how life works: it rarely lets you do what you want. It wants you to have some useless degree and shitty job you never wanted to have. Oh, and finding a job without a degree… that usually means either selling berries or cleaning parks. Hooray. Why don't the world let us - the creative people - do what we want to do: create stuff…?

Like Gift of Death said, let's hope you can sort out your things. I wish you good luck.
