Emergency Update 12/3/2022
Guys, I have bad news.
Remember my leaking roof problem?
So we hired Party A to fix it, my mom wanted to fix most of the wooden parts and replace it with light steel. Our neighbour recommended Party A, but guess what? The leader is highly suspicious and we discovered that this guy might've boycotted his own work (practically making it longer to finish and waste resources).
So we decided to stop them and hired Party B, but the leader of Party A is making troubles with us now. He wants us to 'compensate' him for lost time, cost, etc--which is ridiculous. We already paid him more than enough just for the 2 days he worked and we lost some precious resources because of him.
And what's worse, last night someone messed with the temporary plastic tent Party B hooked up on our roof.
There's a hole as big as a soccer ball, cut up with something sharp. The result? My house flooded (It's still raining season over here). And we saw Party A's leader next door. Isn't that suspicious?
Party A's leader came again this morning and we had a huge conflict.
My mom and I are now considering to call the police if he comes again to make trouble.
I haven't had the time to touch my laptop because of this and I come here to apologize; there might be not much progress to report on Monday Q_Q
I really hope this incident won't blow up anymore than it already is, but I'll update you again later,
xoxo,

Oh my gosh, this is awful and frustrating! You should definitely call the police at least to make sure that guy won't mess with you again. Good luck getting responsible workers who won't try to take advantage of you. That's just ridiculous. :( And please don't worry about updates and work. We understand you have a lot of important things to take care of right now!
Hi, Frozenstar!
Yes, my mom and I are planning to call the police the moment he comes again and tries to extort us.
Party B, the workers we're working with now looks a lot better. I really hope my roof will be fixed without any other incident ><
But most importantly, thank you for being so understanding! It means a lot for me :'D

Unbelievable. It is already property damage and trespassing. I would call the police now if only to have authority surmise the current damage.
Ikr? It's too bad that we've never caught him in action or we can immediately call the cops on him :(
The guy is also older than my mom in terms of age. How shameless can he be?
In any case, thank you for the support, violacrest! I really appreciate it ^///^

Argh, had the same problem when my grandma needed the roof work. I couldn't control it, because I was studying in another country and I was just sending the money. Those people were delaying the work and overcharged my grandma. Making a new excuse every time. And disappearing for several days from time to time without any notice. Once they finally finished the work, there was a problem with missing nails in few places which was discovered after a windy day. And then we had to ask a friend to nail the areas. Seriously, are all the construction workers so corrupted these days?
Strangely enough, that party of workers was also recommend to us by a neighbour xD.
I hope this will end up good for you and the гnscrupulous party will be punished.
Hi, mif4n! Wow, what a coincidence!
I'm really sorry to hear that happened to your grandma, I truly feel for you :'(
Your story is very similar with mine. I really don't know what's wrong with construction workers these days. Do they think it's easy to bully us because we're women? (Only mom and I live together in my case)
Anyways, we're ready if that guy dares to come again to make trouble! >:D
Thanks for being here <3

I wouldn't wait. That guy is definitely going to make things worse.
I agree, but the problem is we don't have 'concrete' evidence to make our claim.
The guy also didn't dare to say the amount of money he wanted us to compensate him, probably because he himself knows that it'll be extortion that way lol
In any case, my mom and I are ready if he wanted to make trouble again!
Thanks for dropping by, princessbarb21 <3

Huh I would have thought you could at least report him. Even if there's no evidence. Then at least there is a report in the system so that if he keeps doing it you'll get a trail of reports to back you up if something seriously goes wrong. Guess you can do that in your country.
Welp, it's more like in consideration of our neighbour :S
Party B have known my neighbour for years and Party B's son is working there, so... yeah, to avoid unnecessary future problems/souring relationships, we've talked it over (also with the neighbour)and decided to call the police only when we've acquired definite evidence and if Party B continues to harass us x_x
Thank you for the concern though, princessbarb21!

I'm so, so sorry you are going through this. I really do think something fishy might have been going on. Do whatever both you and your mom think is right, and don't hesitate to ask for help, online or otherwise, if you need it. The more eyes when a strange situation is happening, the better. That has always worked out for me, at least.
Hi, Sice! Thanks for dropping by and for trying to cheer me up QuQ
True, the more eyes the better--fortunately, Part B was present when Party A's leader came and argued with us. Maybe he thought we were easy to bully, because it's just my mom and I living there--but the moment he makes more trouble, the police it is.
Thanks again!

No at all! I've actually been following your works for years (complete lurker here), it's such a great thing to see people develop their skills and grow as people online. I'm a huge introvert though, I usually completely forget to even check social medias and such and miss whenever something or someone I'm following updates more often than not. Too busy creating stuff myself, as you probably understand very well haha. So truly, I stumbled upon your notification by chance, but I'm glad I did. Again, please let us know if there's something we can help with. Even if it's just talking about it. Letting some frustration out helps to focus on the actual problem. Take care, you both!
Omg, it's always a happy day for me to meet a supporter like you >///<
I mean, you've followed me for years?? I'm really flattered and somewhat shy now...
I'm also a huge introvert irl, meeting/talking with people drains my energy and I recharge by reading novels/having some time alone with my doggos x'D
I understand you too well lol, especially that creating stuff myself :'D
Life has been a roller coaster so far, even more so when my wedding date comes nearer--I sometimes can't believe this is real. It feels like I'm not ready to be an adult yet and the responsibilities that comes with it. Then there's the roof leaking problem... the workers... etc, they're driving me over the wall x'D
In any case, I'm glad to have you and everyone else to help me cope with them!
Thank you for reading and for being here for me, Sice!

Hahaha yeah, ever since you posted your first Nusantara demo like, really, reeeeally long ago... I believed you had it linked on your Deviartart back then, my memory might be a little blurry by now. If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't done on Renpy before and then you needed quite a long while to figure out how to basically rebuild it from scratch? I used to follow a lot of other VN creators then, mostly flash stuff. But I did play the first version of your game long before the second one was released.
I've always respected people that put effort in creating original content... Especially when they managed create more and more over and over, be it in small or large batches, over years and years. And still, there is more they want to try to do, more to learn and improve, pushing on no matter what everyone else thinks... It's an inspirational journey to observe by itself. **Shrugs** So following you was a no-brainer really. I'm glad to see you are still at it. Soon I'm planning on begin to share my own projects... A little nervous putting myself out there, if I'm being honest. I'm not good at being a constant presence online, but I hope they'll inspire people to create too, and that feels more important than my comfort zone.
Hahahaha that's somewhat my case too, except my trusty companion is a bird. I do have a soft spot for all kinds animals truth be told, even the ones people are usually afraid of. I keep trying to save basically everything that accidentally gets inside my home...
And yeah, the older I get, the more the impression that adults are basically big kids faking 'till they make it. Sometimes I receive my bills and I have that strange moment that I still go "Wow... This *really* has my name on it. It still feels weird to look at." Hahaha.
And hey, no biggie. I'm glad I had this opportunity to chat with you for awhile. Do ping us from time to time so we know you are okay. Return when it feels right.
All the best to you and yours.
Sice
I hope your electronic devices are okay. If it leaks that much then I would be scared to connect any device to the apartment's power outlets. Who knows if the water has already crawled into the walls.
Hi, Amberbaum!
Yes, thankfully, all of our electronic devices are okay. My mom prepared big plastic sheets and fortunately, the source of the leak only came from the kitchen and not spreading as much as we had expected >_<
But yup, we'll keep our guards up, at least until the roof is fixed :'D
Thanks for dropping by <3
