Damsels 0.12 Progress

Added 2018-04-16 17:47:19 +0000 UTC

We're looking at next Monday, April 23, for the next update, which is right on schedule.

The update has been moving right along. I won't have as many class quests done as I'd hoped, but Barbarian, Priestess, and Drow will be in there, and possibly more. Those are all done now. Work on the Ninja is 90% done, however, so that *will* be in 0.12, and I wasn't expecting that.

I suffered a minor eye injury last week, and that hasn't reduced the amount of work I've done on the game particularly, but it made it so I needed to turn away from the computer more often -- which is perfect for doing all the little renders that are required to add a class in Damsels. I'm pretty much recovered now, but it will be a few days still before I can wear my contacts again, which I need to do prolonged coding work.

In other news, this Patreon reached it's $300 funding goal, which means that I'm putting money aside towards a new computer to do rendering while I'm coding on the other (or, alternately, so that I can do two renders at once). I've done some preliminary looking, and to get a computer that will really do a decent job will take a few months of saving, but it should help when it happens -- most likely sometime in June. That will be a good time to remake some of the older class renders and make them full screen like the newer ones.

A big thank you to all my patrons! I love making this game, and it's really nice to have the kind of support that lets me buy nice graphical assets for it as well as hardware to make it easier. You inspire me.
