[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]I wanted to give you an honest update on where things stand with Plant Budz.[/p][p]The short version: we're pushing the release back a bit (Q1 2026). The original timeline just isn't realistic anymore given how development has evolved.[/p][p]Here's what happened: what started as a team effort has become essentially a solo project. Life circumstances changed for the others involved, and I've been wearing all the hats for a while now. I won't pretend I'm not part of the problem either - my 'go big or go home' philosophy can be difficult to work with. I'm still fully committed to finishing this game and making it something I'm proud of, but I need to be realistic about what one person can accomplish in a given timeframe.[/p][p]Delays are frustrating – I'm frustrated. But I've made the mistake of releasing unpolished content before and I would sooner scrap a project than do that again.[/p][p]The game is still happening. Progress continues. I'm just adjusting expectations to match reality.[/p][p]Thanks for sticking with me. Your support means more than you know, especially during the final stretch.[/p][p][/p][p]More updates soon,[/p][p][/p][p]Jirapher[/p]
