Why the delay & Reveal of my up-coming games

Why none of the secret projects were released last month

As some of you may know between 23rd-29th of Feb was the official release week for the secret projects that I was working on.

As the name suggests, I was going to release all of them. Unfortunately, I got sick with an annoying flue. This lead to me being in bed with a very high temperature and not be able to do anything due to me sleeping most of the time.

Each day while I was sick felt the same.

What's now? Are the projects canceled or are they delayed?

Now, in March, I'm almost fully recovered and I'm back to programming. The projects aren't canceled, just delayed to being released between 8th-14th of March.

Getting sick was a total unexpected situation to have occurred.

The sickness was also a sort of a positive thing to happen due to me having time to take a break from game dev and relax. This also gives me more time to make the projects better =)

Is there going to be another delay?

No. I don't see a reason why there will or should. Unless I get sick again. Which hopefully doesn't happen.

Wait, you're gonna reveal your up-coming games? But weren't it a secret?

I am due to a poll that I had on my discord server asking if people would like to have the games revealed or not.

The goal for February was to see if I can keep a secret for a long period of time (for the whole month), and I accomplished that. So, it's safe to reveal the secret projects that I've been working on this whole time.

The secret projects are...

A yet another giant update for The Blue Room which includes 95% of all the features that weren't added and tons of bug fixes.
A new 2d pixel simulator tycoon-ish type game called Business Booming.
A text formed dev-log (which is only coming out on my discord server) about a quirky, goofy little A.I. that I'm working on (it's updating from version 0-1 to version 0.1)

Wait, didn't you say a couple days ago that a 4th project was being delayed to March? What about it? What happened to it? Is it canceled?

It's sort of canceled, or should I say, delayed to December...
The project was a pixilated Christmas themed top-down roguelike game that was supposed to be released on December last year. Unfortunately, I was too busy (aka I was the laziest person on Earth and didn't work on it except for the first 2 days), and because of that, I couldn't finish it.
So, I decided to shut up about it (sort of) and delay it to the 2024 Christmas month (also known as December).
