Hello!

It’s been a month and a half since the last post, and I’m sorry for that. Since I published RAR II and created this web, I’ve wanted to update both the game and the web more frequently, and be more active both on Reddit and Discord. Sadly, I haven’t been able to do that as much as I’d have loved to. That’s why I thought I should write this post, a different one, a way to share with anyone interested. 🙃

Past⌗

After an amazing experience in my previous job at a start-up in Barcelona (Genioo/Xperto), I had the opportunity to work on my favorite ongoing project. After a few months, I published it: RAR II (beginning of October, 2019). 🥳

I kept working on the project without having a main job for some months, and it was a very exciting time! We had some amazing chats in Discord with feedback about the game, suggestions, bugs to fix, etc. I wish I could’ve stayed like that forever…! 😌

Around 7 months ago, with the COVID situation ongoing, and realising my savings were depleting, I decided to start looking for a job. That’s when I started working for a very interesting company based in Barcelona (from home, of course). 🤓

At that point, everything started to change.

I started having some anxiety attacks, worst than anything I’d ever experienced in my life. A part from those, I had almost no energy most of the time, felt exhausted, only wanting to sleep, and with a strange pain here and there.

Some doctor gave me some pills for the anxiety, but I wasn’t happy with that solution, so I started this odyssey of going to different doctors/specialists and even psycotherapy.

I will not share many more details about this, but, after discovering various diseases related to my digestive system and my back, I had to start changing my diet, my habits, stop working until late hours, read some more, go out walking more often, doing some sport, meditation…

Present⌗

This is still lasting until today, but I am starting to be way better than I was when this whole thing started, and I’m grateful for that! 🙏

I want to say that, during this ongoing process, whenever I’ve felt slightly better, I’ve kept working on and updating RAR II, even though it hasn’t been as often as I would’ve loved to. As I’m working at a full-time job, I have no much energy and time to invest on my side projects. And I feel terrible about that, because I’d love to deliver more updates and even publish new ones… And that probably is one of the main reasons why I wanted to write this down. I hope most of the people reading this will understand this. 🙃

Future⌗

I’ve been focusing a lot on being better, improving my health and being my whole self again, but now that I start to see “the light at the end of the tunnel” I am starting thinking again about other projects I’ve had in my mind for a long time, and, of course, about continuing improving RAR II.

I still have the same dream I’ve had for many years now: Some day in the future I’d love to be able to work and live from my own apps and games. I think it’s doable, and, even though I don’t have a clear plan right now, I’ll continue pursuing it. 💪

Also, as some of you already know, I’ve been an amateur passionate of music composition for a long time, and, I haven’t been doing that as much as I loved to do it before. I recently started toying around again, so I may be uploading some new songs on my Soundcloud soon! 😬

Expect more updates from RAR II in the future. Can’t promise how frequent or how big they will be, but I still want to improve it. 👨‍💻

Expect new projects coming in the future. Can’t promise what or when, but I will try my best. 🚀

I also will try to write posts more often to share my ongoing projects, being it RAR II, anything new, or even new songs I may compose.

Afterword⌗

Thanks a lot for passing by and reading this post! It’s been the most open and personal post I’ve ever made (or published online anywhere), so it means a lot to me…

See you soon! 🤗
