Announcement
The next SPT update (3.10) will be the last version where That's Lit gets updated with best effort.
That's Lit won't go away, and it may still receive updates, just not at the same pace as usual.
That wraps up the announcement. Below is just me blabbering a textwall (as usual), nothing important for using the mod.
What happened?
Since the first day of That's Lit back in SPT 3.6 days, updates and fixes were usually delivered within days or hours. I also answer almost every question. (For compliments and appreciation, though, I usually only emote, just because I'm very socially awkward).
It's fair to say I worked hard on it, there were days I just don't sleep at all (Willingly. I had fun for sure).
Apparently this costs a lot of time and effort...
As I've mentioned a bit before, I'm a Jobless Tarnished (or Unemployed Dude, if you don't speak Elden Ring). Since being burnt out in my previous job I've been enjoying my time playing and creating, while assisting with taking care of my grandma who has severe Dementia.
Besides That's Lit, I've created a bunch of smaller mods for The Long Dark and some minor or private projects.
It's a fun time, and it's only possible because I have savings to burn and plenty of time to spare. Unfortunately this can't go on forever.
Blatantly speaking, I merely own about 1500 USD now, not like I'm going to starve tomorrow but it's fair to say I'm broke as an adult.
For my projects, I always feel the responsibility to be as transparent as possible, so here we go:
I started to accept donations in April, and received in total of about 240 USD from 14 people. The last donation was in July. There's 1 active subscription (Man, if you see this, consider canceling it for now).
240 is a generous amount! There are many developers doing respectable stuff and don't get anything in return. I'm super lucky to have people donating for That's Lit, and I'm super grateful.
The amount really is HUGE. It's just that life costs more
Gotta move on, get a job, maybe start a new chapter in life!
What's next?
To be honest, I'm not very confident!
I've worked as a generalist, like... I participated in tech evaluation & prototyping, Unity development, backend server development, and even blockchain stuff.
Like... my previous upper management really wanted me to stay, so I'm at least somewhat useful, right?
But that's about it, I am probably a good junior but hardly to be qualified as a senior.
The good news is I recently acquired JLPT N1... hope that I can get a go(lang) or .NET developer job and move to Japan, which is somewhere I've really wanted to go and stay.
And... I guess that's it, thanks for reading all this awkward nonsense.
I happened to be listening to my favorite music in the meantime, so why wouldn't I share it?
It's toe - Goodbye. I've listened to the song for many many times. Hope you like it too.
