As I'm writing these lines, Patreon is only 61% through processing pledges. Which in turn means that I can't update the account database just yet and I can't send out the rewards yet either.
It should all be resolved by Wednesday so hang in there...
This week's development was still aimed towards bringing story mode to the game, I do hope I can wrap it for Chapters 1 and 2 before I'm flown away for 12 days in late February.
What it means, the good, the bad... is what follows.
The good first:
- I'll get started right away on another "Date" mission for Oliver, this time he'll get to try and seduce an amateur Female Body Builder! If things go right, she won't look like an amateur for long! The zip-set of the date, will be the March reward.
- Story mode will change the pace and set new goals, the content requirement logging should be mature enough by then so that I'll be able to create cut-scenes using the most commonly used body-shape combinations. I'm hoping the first cut-scene could be the April Reward.
Now the bad:
- If the launch of story mode goes as planned, there will be a reboot of the saved games, as the new content will require testing from the start of the story and some tuning to the growth XP system might prop up some differences in the favored growth path.
- Since I'll be away from my workstation and otherwise occupied for over a week, I doubt I'll be able to make it in time for the account database update. The March reward might also be late for the same reason but It'll all wrap up before March 8th.
- Since I'll be away from my workstation and otherwise occupied for over a week, I doubt I'll be able to make it in time for the is on, it'll change the pace of the game a little and create new goals for testers.
All considered its not that bad but I aim at showing transparency and making sure that stakeholders are informed of timetable changes, delays or setbacks.
