I think the blood/health mechanics in both Sanguines have always been one of the most creative and fun parts of the games. It really distinguishes the series, so I'm glad you're doing more cool stuff with the third. That green slime stuff sounds super neat.
No worries about the delay either, obviously. Just awesome to hear it's coming along!

Glad to see you found a good balance that pleases you, Sanguine 3 is looking really good so far.
Take your time for the game, it's ok to take a break from game dev when you feel like it.
Wish you the best!
