We moved to Kodiak, Alaska in May 2024 to save on living expenses so that I could afford to retire from DAGames and work on music and NSFW content full-time. Unfortunately, things have not being going well for us here at all.The house was in far worse condition than we expected. We knew that there were some leaks and water damage, and we thought our landlord could use our rent to fix those issues. However, it turns out that it wasn't just a simple leak. The room that was meant to be my work space for animation is completely uninhabitable. There's a gaping hole in the ceiling and an entire third of the floor is constantly soaked from the black moldy water that constantly drips through. The room next to it (which was supposed to be an extension of our space) has an even larger hole. The wood is visibly rotten and the floor shifts under our feet each time we walk over to empty the buckets of black water outside.We've had no choice but to cram ourselves into a small room in another part of the house. There is barely enough space for my computer in here and no space at all to unpack our boxes. I was willing to accept these conditions at first - if it meant that I could afford to work on Patreon content full-time. However, that changed a few months ago when intense rain caused additional damage to the house and black water started leaking even into the small room where I sleep and work. As I write this, I am staring at black water leaking from the walls, from power outlets, and from a hole that opened up above the bed just two weeks ago.Black water has also started leaking in the kitchen, splashing mold and tar onto our dishes. We temporarily solved this by purchasing large plastic tubs to collect water above the sink, as well as switching to disposable plates and bowls, but this is unsustainable. More leaks are already starting to appear in places we cannot deal with - and the people we've called to look at fixing the roof say that it can't be done without tearing down the walls.Even though we're still in debt from our last move, we have no choice but to move again. Luckily, I have a friend in New Zealand with room at their place. He's a fellow NSFW content creator that I've worked with several times. He goes by N0N0 (also known as HelloHA) and he's the one that'll be helping me with the Shortstack Phalia model, and eventually he'll be the one to help me port ScragBoy's Phalia model to VRChat. The rent he's offering is even cheaper than our current place in Alaska, so we've decided to go ahead with it.We'll be moving at the end of March. I'll be quite busy dealing with the move until then, as well as wrapping up the last 10% remaining on the DAGames project. I was able to take some time this week to make a few Phalia renders that I hope you'll like. These were originally intended for Valentines Day, but literally two days prior we had to evacuate the room to deal with the new hole that had just opened up in the ceiling. That's just how things have been lately. These renders will be going up in another post a few hours from now.All the previous things I've mentioned such as art, animations, emotes, shirts, sketches, lore, etc. will be in progress again once this all blows over. I never wanted things to take this long but I also never expected things to get this bad. Thanks for sticking with me throughout all of this.
