I Made A Scary Desicion This Week (Patreon)
Content
Hi guys! hope you all are doing well!
Sorry for being so quiet recently, I have a habit of keeping things to myself and find it hard talking about my life lol but I have been working on something exciting which I will explain later in this post. ❤
Earlier this week I made a really scary decision 😰 I handed in my 2 week notice at work and will be working full time making mods starting December . I've had this job since before I graduated college, I genuinely enjoyed working there, its hard saying goodbye to all the wonderful people there 😢but I know its a step I must take.
As much as I loved doing graphic design, I love modding even more, I felt like I had to make a choice between the two because all my free time were spent modding for the past year and a half and it can be very exhausting😖. I barely have any time to relax and unwind, and I started to feel really burnt out.
Modding is really time consuming, I spend about 30 hours a week working on mods, that on top of a full time job just became too much 😓 and having to make animations for all my mods doesnt help either, I did the math and it turns out I can only make about 1.5 seconds for animation for every hour of work Lol sitting in front of the computer all day plus the stress really took a toll on my physical and mental health 😔
So starting in December I will have so much more time to mod and plenty of time for myself which I am so excited about. Modding full time will mean I will have more time to create better animations, work on bigger projects, and release higher quality content. 😍 I have a huge list of things I want to make which I will post in a separate post. Feel free to comment and add things you want to see as well in the comment section as well!
So as for what I have been up to, I got really burnt out last month after making the pinata and the jack-in-a-box 😩I couldnt bring myself to mod for a full week, and right after that I got my wisdom teeth🦷 pulled out and lost another precious weekend with a swollen head laying in bed. but Im finally starting to feel like myself again. I have been working on a highly requested item, here's a hint of what it is(it is toddler only, sorry babies) :
hmmm I wonder what it is 🧐
this is single-handedly the most complex object I've worked on, I didnt want to say anything earlier in the month because I actually wasn't sure if I could pull it off or not, I normally dont want share any news unless I am 99% sure I can make it (that 1% is reserved for my fear of a random bug that comes out of nowhere and destroy the whole mod lol), the last thing I want to do is get you guys' hopes up and not be able to deliver in the end 😨
and I think i made a new record on backup files
I can't believe I actually started working on this in September 😳
but I can say as of today everything is functional, now I I need to finish all the animations, add more swatches and do some finalization and testing.
Im not really sure if I will be able to finish this off to release in November, if I dont I will add this to a small pack of objects Im planning for December and release all 4 objects at once.
If you made it this far, thank you so much for your patience and your support! I will talk to you all soon!
