Back to work, I guess?

Hi boys and girls!

Now that the Vix/Tabufa update is released, I'm sure you are wondering what's up next?

First I will probably release a v3.62 in a week, or so. This won't have any new content compared to 3.61, just a few bugfixes and a couple of minor QoL improvements.

Then it's on to the next mayor update, v3.71. Development of the game has been going on for quite some time now, 8-ish years I believe. It's also become rather large over the years. A couple of years ago I exceeded the limit the game editor allows for the number of events in the main data file (1000). Luckily I found a way to trick the editor by adding more events via a text/script-editor. Currently I'm at around 1700 events. However the last 10-12 months I've been experiencing crashes upon saving my changes. Although it sucks losing your work, the loss can be reduced by saving often. The really concerning part is that the editor will sometimes wipe the main data file completely clean upon crashing. Essentially deleting the entire game. To combat that I make manual backups of the main file several times a day, but I am worried that there will come a day when it becomes impossible to continue adding more content.

Therefore I will focus on the two mayor open storylines (the baron and the main Qetesh/Nergal story) for now. Then we'll see how many more side-stories the editor will let me add. Eventually everythings has to end, but I can always start working on PQ2.

The next step towards the Baron's story is Daiyu (the shopkeeper in Greyport). Which will be the main focus for version 3.71. I'm currently not sure yet if I will solely focus on Daiyu, of if I may also do a scene or two for some existing characters, but I'll probably know more next week.

Oh, yes. To my dear Nergalites, I'm sorry I've been rather lacks at posting the high def images lately (was a bit too stressed with finishing the updates). I will upload them soon.

Best wishes for 2025 everyone!
