Important Update - Public Post.
Added 2022-09-24 09:20:08 +0000 UTCHello there guys, first of all, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being here supporting the game. It's because of your help and support as a patron that I am able to keep working on the game. Thank you for that.
I have some important news. It seems some people, especially non-patrons who are on MAC are having... Issues to open my game. I don't know if this is a new change of the new macOS or not, however, as of today Godot started giving me a warning telling me that Notarization is not supported on macOS, and I need to apply some very complicated steps through the Apple store to be able to export my games to Mac OS.
I was reading a lot about it on the Godot web page, and it seems I need to be part of the Apple Developing program, and since I don't own any apple products because let's be real. I'm not rich, and if I'm going to spend that kind of money on something I want to get a good machine to take my work with me for when I go visit my parents.
So, at least for now on, if you're a MAC user, I'm sorry to say but I won't be exporting games for Mac anymore. As far as I could see, Mac OS is not even allowing you to open the files anymore and you need to download some pretty heavy developing tools on your mac just to open an unsigned game.
I'm sure that's just one more defense protocol from Apple to their products, but it makes it absurdly hard for indie developers like me, who lack the budget to get their products and to pay for their fees to produce software for their platforms. So, since I was having some pretty hard time trying to emulate a MacOS on my Windows machine to check for issues and it was a no-no, Apple makes macOS absurdly hard to even emulate, the Builds for the game from version 0.40.0.0 will be permanently shut down.
I'm sorry to any Mac Users, but if you're into playing my game, please try to go to Windows or Linux, both systems allow you to run the software and aren't this hard to develop for. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
On a side note: I only had one Patron who was a Mac User on these past few years so far, but even so: I'm really sorry for that. If, as a patron, you want a version of the game exported to mac to see if you can run it, just come to the in-box here and ask for it. I'll send you a special exported version to see if you can run it, but so far, I won't be exporting versions my own game engine is telling me it won't work on the current OS.
As for Build 0.40.0.0, (Yes, this is the complete version, the last number will never be updated by the way, probably), it'll be released Tomorrow. I already have added the Patrons to the credits and Revision team, so if you enter my patron from this point onward, your name will be added on the next build.
All that I need right now is to check for any issues, to export the updated Cheat Sheet for anyone who wants to play the game only on the good routes (I would ask you guys to play through all of them to send me corrections if needed after all English is not my first language and I'm always learning more and more about it).
So, Tomorrow, the 25 of September, I'll be releasing you guys the next build. After that, a new pool will be added for a week for Tier 3+ patrons to vote on the next build content. The PLOT route for Wagner is quite good if I say so, I was able to talk about what aspect of their lives I wanted and even create a good text, but it's only new text. One day, these sequences may have some bonding music or background, but so far I want the artist to focus on regular backgrounds, finishing KArnal's Cutscene which is still a sketch, and create the new character, and it takes time to save the money to pay for that, and I still have to enter a list and wait for my turn to arrive after all. So thank you all for your time and for waiting.
To any non-patrons reading this: Thank you for following my content here and on itch/io. You guys are awesome too.
Remember: A game is not made by itself, if you want to support the developer, consider subscribing as a patron. Even if it's just 3$ a month, your support means a lot to me!
