Dev Report #8 (May 27th, 2023)
🕑 Added 2023-05-27 05:06:27 +0000 UTCYooooooooooooo,
I hope all of you are doing well. 🙂
Main Game:
I'm sure most of you are wondering when the upcoming monthly will be releasing and while I do plan on sticking to not setting any dates, I will share that I'm nearing the finish. It has taken me longer than I initially thought it would but not by a lot and work has gone really well on it so far and I'm happy with how everything is turning out.
I don't want to leave you guys completely in the dark so I'll say that you shouldn't expect anything today, tomorrow isn't very likely, but any day past that is a real possibility depending upon any issues that may come up in finalizing.
I'll likely speed up tier releasing to make sure every tier has access before the end of the month depending on the day it is released.
The size of the update itself does correspond to the time it is taking. It will be a little north of 200 renders and a little over 10 animations. (Not exact numbers as they could change a bit in the next few days but it will be at least this size.)
That means that Episode 9 in its entirety will be 600+ renders and 24+ animations.
I figured I'd take a moment to recap some of the month and what I plan to try and improve on in June.
So let's look at the recent beta releases this month.
Episode 8 - Beta 1 (135 renders, 8 animations) - Released May 2nd
Episode 8 - Beta 2 (120 renders, 0 animations) - Released May 8th
Episode 8 - Beta 3 (171 renders, 6 animations) - Released May 14th
I started off the month really strong with 2 back-to-back 6 day releases. I did a good job of focusing on the main game and I did my best to leave myself a small render buffer after releases.
End of the month has been weaker as I decided to hold off on a weekly to release all of this upcoming scene in its entirety which probably wasn't necessary but I felt it was the right thing to do.
I also released everything I had with Beta 3 so I didn't have any render buffer to help out and I focused a little too much on side content and the rework took a lot of my attention last week.
I'm still finding my footing with everything and working out a balance and that's something that will improve with time and testing.
I'm happy with the amount of content I'll be releasing this month but the goal is definitely to improve consistency with release dates.
I set the goal of 100 renders a week and so far I've exceeded that, I just need to get better with my release schedule and then I think we'll be in a good spot.
Still, far improved from where we were a couple of months ago and the goal is to continue improving and to keep everything moving. 😁
Side Content:
The Birthday Renders that were scheduled to be released will be released very early on in June. I only have a few left to complete and those will be finished after the update is out. There will be another set late in June as well.
I managed to release everything else that was scheduled this past week.
Though, to make things a little easier on me I'm moving from release dates to release windows for side content.
Early/Mid/Late is just a month cut into thirds. So essentially early is just the first 10 or so days of a month and Mid is the 10-20's and then late is 20-30's.
This is just to alleviate some of the stress as I continue to catch up on side content.
I really like how the new character sheets look, I'm glad I decided to do another iteration as I'm much happier with these. I hope you guys like them so far too.
But yeah, that's all for me for now. Going to get back to work on the update.
As always, thank you all so much for everything and please take care.
Spread some love and have a wonderful week everyone!
❤

I'm very close to finishing this monthly. I was hoping to have it all finished by today but I had some events slow me down so it's not looking too likely though tomorrow is looking pretty good for it. 👍

I want to confirm if the game will be finished after 1 week or you need more time to finish It. And I want to appreciate your work in the past 1 Month.
