Fortnightly Progress - 27th July

Added 2017-07-27 17:34:49 +0000 UTC

If you want to skip the gushing, and if so I don't blame you, then move onto the No Haven header below, but for those that don't mind a bit of that then oh fuck me thank you so very, very much! I don't have words for how blown away to get to the total it's currently at. This would have been beyond unthinkable to me when I set it up after a couple of people asked me to have one so they could contribute, or for the first year when I really had no idea what I was doing with this, and honnestly I'm struggling to process it even now that I do have a much firmer grasp on what I want this to be.

Just thank you, it's making such a difference and I am going to do my best to live up to the trust you have put in me.

No Haven

Before the next proper update I've decided to take the time to try and solve some underlying issues that I feel might have been plaguing the game and were important to dispense with as soon as possible. In that end I've spent the last week or so replacing a ton of variables and reworking how things are handled. There's also a fair few additional fixes, a bit of new stuff, and some general rearranging.

I've also been informed that the old warning about when to save/load could be missed on smaller screen setups as it scrolled off the screen so that's now a lot more obvious and on the first page. This is important as I've found out some people were loading as soon as the game had started without getting to the next page with option to just a load a game which could break stuff.

I'd aimed to get this out before this fortnightly but I've been somewhat under the weather the last couple of days so as there's only so much lemsip can do it'll be Friday/Saturday I reckon now. After that back onto the proper update I detailed in the last one of these.

Thank you to everyone that voted in the direction poll. Next time I'll run those polls specifically for a fortnight, and I'll also try to post them when I enter testing prior to a release rather than afterwards. In joint first were 'more biomancy options' and '3-5 new assignments' so that's what is going to happen in addition to what was featured in the roadmap.

Commissions

So yeah the draenei farm one... Call it a learning experience and accentuating the positive it will work really well for a new common assignment of which there always need to be more of. See the patreon post about it if you want the full story. Also the background from the .psd turned out to be dead handy as I've reused it for the art for another common Ever Forest assignment that will be coming next update.

I have a lot more faith in the artist for the Demi-Angel in bondage one. Don't have a date for this one yet, but I've not heard anything by the next one of these I'll send a chaser and let you know.

The next poll for July+August is imminent and will be going up around the 5th of next month.

Whorelock's Revenge

While ever so slightly painful the last WR stream was a rather good learning experience as due to me being entirely self-taught I do things in quite the wrong manner on occasion. Basic upshot was one comment in particular really helped with some things that I'd been struggling with on the conversion and rather than just converting in Sublime I got some of the converted code into Twine where it appears to all be working.

Helped out quite a bit with some of my thinking on No Haven too and I think I can make some additional improvements there because of it.

HMVs

In retrospect probably should have gone for a safer crowd pleaser than Shreds to feature the draft of on the patreon given it's a bit more experimental. I like how it came out, some others like it too and it's already done better than Would you... did in terms of reception, but yeah safe to say that not everyone was exactly keen.

Not sure when, but will try to do another SFM based one sometime soonish and then after that I've got a couple of ideas for a more ecchi one like Would you... and Horny as a Monster Girl.

Picarto

And now some predictions of upcoming streams till the next fortnightly progress. These are not set in stone so keep an eye on the tumblr announcements or just follow me on Picarto for notifications if you're interested in catching them. Time especially will usually be the time listed or up to an hour later. Also listed is the likelihood the stream will happen on that date outside of unforeseeable circumstances and what I will probably be working on.
