Don’t be fooled by Tofu who is still playing games, now is time to work!
The past month, or better the past 45 days have been a serious blow to my productivity, because of the heat (like every year) plus some renovating works I had to do to my home. In practice, with the heat, the noise, the continuous interruptions, I just gave up… I was able to work only a few hours in the morning and answer emails, but that’s it.
As result, many many games are behind schedule, even if in practice the only one who is waiting my “direct contribution” is the RPG Seasons Of The Wolf. Luckily most of my working partners are people living in fresh countries like Canada, Belgium, Germany and so on (though I heard that the heat wave this year was all over Europe).
Anyway, it seems that the weather will cool down in the next week, and most importantly I’m finally done with the renovating works! 😀
So while I am still quite broken and stressed, I’ll gradually try to get back into “the working mood”, with the goal to release Nicole otome version by September and at least SOTW beta before end of year.
And maybe another game shortly after, since even Roommates is at good point 🙂
Rest assure that this is like that for most of us. I’m in France (so a bit less hot than you) but I still can’t work a lot in summer because of (kids at home, swimming pool, friends, kids friends, heat, building work on the house, parties, vacations…).
Yes, the problem this year is that the renovating works lasted much longer than anticipated and I’ve been very stressed because of that. I’m looking forward to autumn and winter now 🙂

A game with Tofuuuuu, a game with catsssss… cat tofuuuuuu. I’m sure there’s a management sim there. It’s worth millions. A management tower-defence-sim game. It involves food and stuff.
The UK is really hot, too, believe it or not.
I actually thought for real to do a game with all my cats as characters, since each one has a particular personality =D
UK is hot??? shut up, I saw the temperatures! 😉 in towns here we had 42-45°C during peak hours, which is totally insane 🙁
(I live in mountains so was cooler, but still over 34-36°C)
Hehe, welll – hotter than usual! Thankfully, I work in an office with air conditioning.
I’m told that drinking warm tea actually helps cool you down, as does not having cold showers, but rather, warm ones.
Well I tried both, and the tea didn’t work, the warm shower instead yes helped 🙂
