No at all! I've actually been following your works for years (complete lurker here), it's such a great thing to see people develop their skills and grow as people online. I'm a huge introvert though, I usually completely forget to even check social medias and such and miss whenever something or someone I'm following updates more often than not. Too busy creating stuff myself, as you probably understand very well haha. So truly, I stumbled upon your notification by chance, but I'm glad I did. Again, please let us know if there's something we can help with. Even if it's just talking about it. Letting some frustration out helps to focus on the actual problem. Take care, you both!

Omg, it's always a happy day for me to meet a supporter like you >///<
I mean, you've followed me for years?? I'm really flattered and somewhat shy now...
I'm also a huge introvert irl, meeting/talking with people drains my energy and I recharge by reading novels/having some time alone with my doggos x'D
I understand you too well lol, especially that creating stuff myself :'D
Life has been a roller coaster so far, even more so when my wedding date comes nearer--I sometimes can't believe this is real. It feels like I'm not ready to be an adult yet and the responsibilities that comes with it. Then there's the roof leaking problem... the workers... etc, they're driving me over the wall x'D
In any case, I'm glad to have you and everyone else to help me cope with them!
Thank you for reading and for being here for me, Sice!

Hahaha yeah, ever since you posted your first Nusantara demo like, really, reeeeally long ago... I believed you had it linked on your Deviartart back then, my memory might be a little blurry by now. If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't done on Renpy before and then you needed quite a long while to figure out how to basically rebuild it from scratch? I used to follow a lot of other VN creators then, mostly flash stuff. But I did play the first version of your game long before the second one was released.
I've always respected people that put effort in creating original content... Especially when they managed create more and more over and over, be it in small or large batches, over years and years. And still, there is more they want to try to do, more to learn and improve, pushing on no matter what everyone else thinks... It's an inspirational journey to observe by itself. **Shrugs** So following you was a no-brainer really. I'm glad to see you are still at it. Soon I'm planning on begin to share my own projects... A little nervous putting myself out there, if I'm being honest. I'm not good at being a constant presence online, but I hope they'll inspire people to create too, and that feels more important than my comfort zone.
Hahahaha that's somewhat my case too, except my trusty companion is a bird. I do have a soft spot for all kinds animals truth be told, even the ones people are usually afraid of. I keep trying to save basically everything that accidentally gets inside my home...
And yeah, the older I get, the more the impression that adults are basically big kids faking 'till they make it. Sometimes I receive my bills and I have that strange moment that I still go "Wow... This *really* has my name on it. It still feels weird to look at." Hahaha.
And hey, no biggie. I'm glad I had this opportunity to chat with you for awhile. Do ping us from time to time so we know you are okay. Return when it feels right.
All the best to you and yours.
