I recently replayed omori and remembered your my first friend humphrey mod, I have no idea if you're still making or if it's been abandoned but it's such a marvelous project that I just wanted to thank you for sharing it with us ❤️
I won't pretend everything has been going according to schedule, because it's not. The inflation crisis along with some setbacks at work have forced me to put all my projects on hold. I basically lost a year of productivity, and its been heartbreaking.
I'll speak personally and say writing MFFH was an emotionally exhausting project that ate up a year of my life in 2021. So I just needed some space from it all, but then 2022 and the recession rolled around and made me take an extra year off. But MFFH does mean a lot to me, so I do want to at least share the story with all of you before I move on to the next phase of my life, whatever that may be. I'm going to have to make some tough choices. Over the next several months I am going to work to bring all my OMORI projects to a comfortable stopping point. These include:
OMORI: A Song Cover Musical
I'm not abandoning them, rather I need a programming degree to finish most of them and improve my work situation. So a hiatus is required at a minimum. I will not be starting any other projects. Here is the rundown of what I need to do.
My First Friend, Humphrey is top priority. it will be released in five chapters. The first of five written chapters will be released with illustrations. Then I'm going to do a poll to see if the illustrations are worth the wait. If not, I'll just release the rest of the chapters without illustrations so everyone can at least read the novel. The actual MFFH mod is going to be a LONG time coming. The best your going to get soon is the written novel.
The KELSEY project is going to be put on hiatus indefinitely to make more time for other things. That project will also be released but only as a project outline with illustrations.
Finally, the musical project OMORI: A Song Cover Musical is also ready for its casting call. All the songs are written and all the demos are finally ready. Although, I'm sad I wasn't able to start the recording process during the summer break when the VA's had the most free time. So I kinda cooked the goose on that one. I will likely do the casting call over the fall, and do recording over Winter Break.
Again, I am very sorry to the people I've disappointed over the years. And I am going to do my best to deliver something. The bare minimum of what I promised to you all. I wish I could deliver some better news, but I'm in a tougher place right now due to the economy. I love OMORI. I love Humphrey. That is all. Thank you.
