Project News & Status update
🕑 Added 2019-02-07 22:47:55 +0000 UTC1. Okay, this doesn't happen for the first time, but this month Patreon fucked up again and I see huge amount of declines of long-term patrons. I really hope you, guys, can handle this / update credit card or whatever new requirements patreon has for you this time
2. February release will be delayed - no exact dates yet, very rough estimation is end of February. The reason is below
3. Last 10 days I was doing client-server solution for Panthea, that should allow 2 main functions: 1) login into game via patreon email (and getting latest patreon build and in-game rewards this way); 2) provide solution for storing your save into cloud (this way in the new game versions your special cloud save game should be available at any platform / version after you log in into the game)
All this took a while, as I'm not a pro developer or something. Right now I have a solution that works on my local machine, but my first attempts to publish it elsewhere failed (as I mentioned I have no practical experience of doing any client-server infrastructure) and I'm highly stressed and tired right now for diving into technology areas that I barely understand how they work (AWS, IIS, .NET??!? OMG?!?!?). I just need a couple of days off
I'm still very positive about this change and I will make a post asking a couple of testers among my patrons as soon as I'm done with server - to make sure it works for most / all game exports we do
So this month delay is mostly caused by this unplanned development
We keep working on other stuff meanwhile and I'll be posting some Kelly act2 sketches tomorrow
And we have a new banner! Yay!

Huh, I wonder what Lana is hiding under that towel on the banner? ;D

Any chance to get the banner full version? It looks awesome!
leave2gether
yes, we plan new characters for act2. We also want a couple of locations with random guys, so that males-in-the-scenes are not only based on actual game character males
is there also an update coming with new characters as in new animals or beasts

Take your time. I'd rather wait for your typical quality work than play something that feels rushed to meet a deadline.

Just take your time! Quality over quantity! And you need to have a rest sometimes :)

Hi, Cosmic thank you for supporting us! Did you follow this guide for mac? HOW TO RUN APP ON MAC WORKAROUND Unzip the file so that the projector app (shown as a file that has a an icon with a white ‘f’ on a red square) is extracted. This is where the work around starts. Usually you’d double click this to start the app, instead you need to right/option click and select “Show Package Contents”. Finder should then open up the application folder and inside you’ll see one item named “Contents”. Right click on this and select “Copy Contents”. Next go to your desktop or any other folder you’d like to run the app from and create a new folder. You can name this anything you like, but for sake of argument let’s call it “leave2gether”. Once you create the application folder right-click on it and select “Paste item”. This should duplicate the “Contents” folder that you already copied from the original app folder into this new location. The last step to do after you’ve copied the “Contents” folder over is to rename the new “ leave2gether” folder to “ leave2gether.app”. Adding the .app extension will prompt OSX to ask you to confirm that you want to do this (it will change the folder into an app package). Click yes. Now the icon of the “ leave2gether” folder should turn into the white”f” on a red square. (Sometimes you need to drag the application thumbnail around a bit for it to refresh). At this point you can now double click on the application icon and it will run!

Hey guys! Big fan of Panthea since the beginning. I decided to finally support and your mac build doesn't seem to work. Any chance you guys would be able to get it working?

Keep up the good work!

We are currently in the ponces switching engines for the game, as it has grown to large and complected for Flash, and we are taking the opportunity to update the artwork, some game play and the framework around the game, we have chosen to continue the story rather then remake the game, so for now development for the old and new version is running parallel. Hope I understood your question correctly.

Is this game connecting online?

Yeah, I read that article. As far as I understood he was referring to "we want to make more money, but don't know how to make it and don't ruin everything yet". I guess all this bank switches and issues with pledges are part of saving costs attempts as well

In a recent interview the CEO of patreon said this was not a sustainable business so if I were you I'd start looking for alternatives before it's too late.

Hi, Lee. Thanks, I will try some basics with IIS myself first (not to ask super-stupid questions, just stupid ones) and pm you if I keep getting blocked by no-knowledge :)
leave2gether
cool, sent you pm

I have IIS (SOME .net and c#/asp but not much) & Apache/PHP client/server experience. (And COBOL/CICS but no one uses that anymore ;) ) Be happy to help if I can.
I know a bit about AWS and .Net. Maybe I could provide some help, if you need it that is.
looks cool!
