I want to apologize to everyone for my extended absence.

[x-4000 (Chris McElligott Park)]

Hey everyone,

I really am sorry I've been away unexpectedly this insane amount of time. It's been a caacade of events. Last Thursday I got really sick, then the next day there was a personal incident that has been very traumatic and that is making it difficult for me to function properly.

To cap it off, early this week my boot ssd started going even worse than it has been, so I've been having to try to clone that; and when that failed, I switched to just a clean install and then reinstalling all my programs. A hassle, and a time consuming one, but no data was lost. I'm super redundant with backups; you'd need to take out pretty much the northern hemisphere to wipe out the game code.

So I thought I'd be able to push new updates today, but another personal incident happened last night, even more traumatic than the first one. I am genuinely trying to cope, but I'm not sure what my timeline is for functioning like a human being again. I hope each day will be better than the one before it at this point.

I will get back to the regular fast and fun schedule soon, I promise. I'm dealing with an incredible amount of pain right now, but am learning to cope. I think it will be lessening as the days go by.

For now, I need some sleep. I thank you all for your patience, and just know that I haven't gone anywhere for good!

Chris

Hey no need to apologize for that, we're not expecting you to be above and beyond all the challenges life throws at us. I hope you sleep well, and start healing as well as you can over time.

[Weapon Master]

Don't worry, the northern hemisphere will also need to be wiped out to get rid of my bug reports :P

The work is there, and I don't think anyone will care if it takes another weekend for things to get done

Chris,

Take care of yourself. We'll still be here when you're ready to return. No game is worth your destruction.

[Shin]

Don't worry and don't push yourself too hard. Hope you get well soon! The game is pretty awesome btw! =)

[Ryan Dorkoski]

Take care of yourself. This project will be here when you come back ;)

[Dual_Cored]

Damn Chris sounds like you're in a tough spell. Hope it's not woman problems because those feel like your hearts been ripped out. Hang in there, this too shall pass.

[Booty & Drinks]

Keep it up man! I am a fan of your game ! I send you good vibes!

[Silent War]

Hang in there. We are all thinking of you and hope your troubles and distress will be short.

I don't think anybody interested in this game is going to lynch mob you, if anybody does they're a very small minority. We aren't forever waiting Bannerlord kids that don't understand to just do something else while waiting on a product.

That's what I'm doing, this game isn't exactly something I'd play regularly as of right now, so I just play something else. It's really not that difficult to understand, and I'm sure everybody here does the same thing. I still look forward to this game, but really just take your time. Most of the people in the world and all but everybody on the internet has had an awful life experience, we get it. Don't worry about it.

[ExitInOptionsLul]

I prefer slower (but larger) updates anyways, so that the game doesnt change the rules on me every day, and i can actually test it.

[Stitch]

I hope you feel better soon!

[Le Benjo]

Je vous souhaite bon rétablissement cher monsieur.
<3

Take some time off, man, you're human and that's what will win the war against the machines in the end.

Seriously, though, your community understands. Your transparency with this will shut up any toxicity for a good while. Feel better, talk to people you care about, don't forget what matters but don't beat yourself up too much, no matter what it is that's happened.

[FFace]

Get well and take your time man! We are not going anywhere.
