Taking a small but much needed break

Over the past six weeks, I’ve worked very intensively on RuneLite support, a mobile client and a new responsive web client. AI-assisted development allowed me to compress more than two years of work into six weeks, but coordinating, testing, reviewing, and making constant decisions still created an enormous mental workload; seven days per week, from early morning until late in the evening.

I’m very happy with what we have achieved and how the release has gone. To be clear, I am not burnt out, but I recognise that I am heading in that direction and need to recover before reaching that point. In the past, I often kept pushing beyond my limits until I could no longer continue, often requiring months to recover. This time, I want to recognise the warning signs earlier so I can recover sooner and return with a healthier, more sustainable balance.

For at least the next couple of weeks, I will be fully disconnected from PkHonor. I will not be monitoring the game, forums, Discord, support requests, or bug reports.

The developers and staff are more than capable of managing PkHonor and continuing to release their own features during my absence. The Gauntlet is nearly complete and is expected to be released shortly by its developer.

If something genuinely critical arises that requires my involvement, Rapsey can contact me privately.

Thank you to everyone who helped make these releases possible. I appreciate your understanding while I disconnect and recover.

Forgot to mention I'm already back at work, helping to add the necessary backend changes so we can release Group Ironman soon :).

I'm currently not as active as I was during the whole month of July, but still helping out where I can and following up on things.
