[p]A Personal Note from the Developer[/p][p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]I want to share something very personal with you.[/p][p]After a long and difficult battle with infections and illness, my father passed away. We fought together for a long time. There were moments of hope, moments of exhaustion, moments where we laughed, and moments where we simply held on. His final days were spent in the ICU, and he was able to say goodbye to us. That was our last journey with him.[/p][p]I’ll need to take a short break to recover and to be with my family. Not a long one (1week) just enough to breathe, to process, and to stand back up properly.[/p][p]There’s something I want you to know about Noir Lords.[/p][p]The cat narrator, the voice that guides you through the city, encourages you when things look bleak, and helps you get back on your feet just before the end, was inspired by my father. In many ways, he is my father in this world. Calm, observant, sometimes sharp, but always there when you need guidance the most.[/p][p]Knowing that he will continue to guide players through this game means more to me than I can easily put into words.[/p][p]Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for being such a kind and supportive community. I’ll be back soon, and when I am, I’ll continue working on Noir Lords with the same passion, now carrying his spirit with me.[/p][p]Take care of yourselves.
And if you can, hug your loved ones for me.[/p][p]RIP my hero, my legend![/p][p][/p]
