Hi SDB,
So it's 2016 and maybe you've noticed I've been pretty absent lately. Well, November and December were kind of a rough couple of months for me and my family. Our dog, Max, was pretty sick and needed (rather expensive) surgery. Basically he had an enormous cyst on his spleen - gross, I know - and it had to come out. Luckily it wasn't cancerous or anything and he has been getting stronger and healthier every day since we brought him home. Obviously between that situation and the holidays it's been a really hectic and stressful time and so I haven't had much time to rip sprites or work on the site.
If you're not a dog person, well, I understand, but to us they're members of the family. I don't post much about my personal life because usually there isn't much to tell, so hopefully this doesn't hurt my image in all your eyes, ha ha.
Here's Max (left) and our other dog, Loki on the right, last week. Yep, they're allowed on the couch.
Anyway.
Things are mostly back to normal now, but I'm still trying to spend as much time with my buddy as possible and naturally that means less time on my main work computer. But when it comes to SDB, I'm gonna do the best I can, just like I've always tried to. That means ripping more sprites and doing whatever I can to improve the SDB website & community. Maybe the site could use a new layout, or some new tutorials or something. Maybe I'll add some new features to the programs I've made. Who knows? I can't promise anything but dangit, I'm gonna try.
And maybe I don't say it enough, maybe I say it too much, but thanks to everybody for being a part of this community. And thanks for being patient when I haven't been around. (For all I know, nobody noticed, but if you did - thanks! ) If you have any ideas, questions, comments, suggestions, or just want to talk, you have only to send me a PM or email. Let's make 2016 an excellent year.
Locking this thread because it's just meant to be a quick update but again, if you've got something to say, you all know how to reach me.
