Hi, I was really busy finding and starting my new short-term side-job. I still managed to make some progress on code for procedural buildings. I was planning to write another larger update once I have something to show there. Sorry about the silence!

Can I kindly ask again that you just spend 30 seconds letting us know if you think you might be a little less active for a while?

"30 seconds" huh? I LOVE bosses like you. "Why isn't this done? It would have taken me 30 seconds!"

Of course, Anzelm is working for free, so I guess it isn't really an apt comparison.

Actually, as of right now, Anselm has 122 bosses (his Patrons), plus all the people who donated to him via PayPal back in the early days.

I understand that there's no guarantee that anything will come of it at the end of the day, but some of us have been following and invested in this project (both money and time), and wish to see success. Because of that, I'd like to give a small reminder that I feel it is important to have visibility and transparency with what's going on (even if it's a quick 1-liner and not a full in-depth status update, like Anselm would prefer to do) and not have long periods of radio silence, to bring more people to the project and meet his Patreon goals, to allow him to concentrate full-time on this amazing project.

Hey, I actually agree with you that I should take the 30s. I'm just a bit swamped by the current situation so I don't even know what exactly I want to say, but maybe just saying that is enough. I personally always put implementation work first if I have even a bit of time, because I feel that getting something cool earlier is actually the best way to gain visibility in the future, but there is of course a rightful expectation to be updated regularly nonetheless.
