Tuesday Troubles ☹️

Hopefully this does' t become a re-occurring weekly segment haha...

The core issue this week - Milovana is Down. 💔

This isn't the first time it's happened, it probably won't be the last time it will happen.

The admin is known for being pretty silent on a lot of matters and no one to my knowledge has any insight of how long this will take.

It has taken between 1 day to about a month historically to come back. So far we are crossing past the first 24 hours of this outage.

What does it mean for me?

I can't edit Trials of the Succubi and Keystroke nor add any content. Unfortunately no one will be able to access the online links either.

I will see if I can get an updated offline version even with the outage but it will not be as stable as a complete release. If you are just jonesing to play, I have some previous offline downloads that go back several months.

I am currently putting more of my efforts into image editing and Fall of Haven work.

Does this change anything?

As long as it eventually comes back, my plans are not really affected. I already knew to not put all my eggs in the Milovana basket even though I have held on longer than most other creators.

What I'm optimistic about is usually when there is an outage, the admin is more receptive to requests in the following days. That means there is a small possibility they could make larger teases editable which would be an absolute gamechanger for Trials of the Succubi! They mentioned being open to it in the past but I imagine it would be lots of work.

Not only would that potentially greatly increase the efficiency of the time I put towards it (right now I edit it in 3 separate parts, merge them, and hope it does not error on re-upload. It is erroring more and more by the week), but it could allow for me to actually add stuff! If this does not change, we may be almost at the limits of what Trials of the Succubi can take.

Other news:

Monday was a national holiday and I was not able to accomplish as much as a normal workday.

Previously I had announced that extended family were visiting this weekend but now it turns out they are arriving a day earlier. This means the time I can put into efficient work this week is down yet another day. Much rests on me getting as much as I can knocked out today and Wednesday!

The following week will also be a bit "hampered" regarding workflow but I'm committed to press on regardless!

I'm here for any questions - stay optimistic and have a Terrific Tuesday everyone!
