I Should Not Be Alive
By now you must be thinking, "No way. This is perhaps the unluckiest dev I've ever followed."
I wish I was joking. I'm not.
Tuesday, while on my way to visit a friend in Vancouver, WA, my left rear tire blew and sent me spinning across 4 lanes of traffic at 70mph. I hit the ditch on the right side of the freeway facing backwards and rolled 4 times before finally coming to a stop. Somehow, the rolls were so perfectly diagonal that all of my glass was intact and none of the airbags deployed. Neither of the front doors would open; I had to lay the passenger seat down and crawl out of the back passenger side door. There, I met the trucker who had almost ended my life. Were it not for his quick reflexes, they'd have been picking bits of me out of the grille of his semi. Wayne, he introduced himself.
I should not be alive, much less unscathed as I am.
Photos are below. As you can expect, this may impact the release of the next build of WCA as my car is totaled and I need to spend my money and resources on finding another one. I understand if you're upset; it's been a couple of months since the last update, and I haven't been able to do much work because, simply put, shit keeps happening to me. Trust me, I wish it would stop as much as you do. For those of you who stay subbed to the Patreon, I'm truly grateful for your patience. For those who are ending their support... thank you for what you did give. I hope I get another chance to impress you and earn your support back in the future.

I don't care how long it takes. Just get better, I rather have a game with heart and soul than a quickly assembled thing that will and falls apart every ten seconds. No need to rush them updates. Stay safeeee ^-^

Honestly, the fact that you are alive, just proves you have much more left to give to the world, and though blowing your car tire causing that accident was hugely misfortunate and a huge setback financial, unless car insurance covers any of it...
I think you still have have more journey to explore and more tales to weave before your candle can be snuffed out good sir :)
Oh, wow. That's gotta be nerve shattering. I am terribly sorry for you having to go through that. I can't imagine, I think I'd have a heart attack and be gone either way.
Glad your still with us, and like Shiquicus said, no reason to be upset. Life happens, and sometimes it just happens harder than other times. And anyone who is upset about your misfortune is a douche... Well, I mean, upset at the delays... you know what I meant. I hope things get better, and you are doing alright. Godspeed my dude.
There is no reason to be upset. It's not your fault that shit like that happens. Speaking as a soon to be paramedic, car crashes are fucking deadly.
I'm glad that you're still with us Bud. We are lucky to have you
if anyone stops their subs because of this i say, shame on you
keep up the good work mate
oh damn, I used to live in vancouver washington. Hope youre doing alright my dude
No one should have any reason to be upset at you about this all that matters is that you got out of it ok. Don't worry about the release date for the next build man take care of your problems first a good lot of us are understanding and patient take care of yourself first.
(P.s Hey man been awhile since I commented on one of your post)
The important thing is that you are okay, and don't worry I think we can wait as long as you want.
deym hope your alright dude, and don't us Reader can wait as long as it takes.
hope you get well soon. ^
God be like:
Holy fuck man hope your alright, take as long as you need to recover.
