Status Update #23 what exactly happened
🕑 Added 2021-04-10 12:45:43 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It's Peter.
So What exactly happened, what will be in future I'm here for answers:
First of all - project won't be stopped! It's not on a pause or abandoned!
What happened?
Answer is very simple. My writer didn't provide me with texts at all. Those writing supposed to be finished in the middle, or the most lately in the end of February. And In start of March(the month, that was planned to use for polishing and tests of new features) he told me, that he didn't event started to work on them. I was in rage(as for true Jedi knight It's was very rare feeling to me). It took almost week for me to recover from this feeling and focus on finding solution, and how to do things right.
First - I've started from searching for a new writer. It took 2 weeks before I was able to find good writer from a lot of candidates... this process commonly know to almost every HR's manager (I'm not HR, so i wasn't easy task for me), but I succeed!
Second - Reputation. I've put pledges on Pause. As I said - It's just fair. I make mistakes - I pay with reputation. What I cannot allow myself to lose - is Your trust, my dear patrons. This project exist only thanks to Your donations. Money, that was gathered since previous release is enough to make next release. I calculated it right this time. Since there is no release in March - I can't allow myself to charge You for what wasn't delivered as promised. I'm sorry. I hope this decision, will prove You, that I'm not here to drag Your donations for nothing.
What's now?
Hard work. Now, with new writer we just need time to make all planed features and events.
P.S.
As bonus to people who supported me in past - new version will be available to all who donated 100$ and more during all history of project (Thank You, Maelion, for this idea) regardless of their patron status at the moment of release.
With Love
Peter
