Annual pledge options now available, dev update

For those of you interested in supporting LK for the long-term, or those that would prefer not to deal with monthly payments, I've opened up annual pledge options. These allow you to pledge for an entire year up-front. 

If annual pledges isn't your style, another way to help out is to follow LegendKeeper on Twitter! We are upping our social media game a bit to get the word out. LK is still pretty unknown in the RPG space and we wanna change that! 

Development

As for what I'm up to, development-wise: I'm currently polishing up the new LegendKeeper client synchronization code, testing weird edge cases and stuff to make sure everything works well with clients going on and offline, making crazy edits, etc. 

After that, I'll be implementing templates and permissions in the new system, finally followed by testing data migrations from the old system to the new, offline-capable one. This will probably be the hardest part of the process, as it's a large amount of data to move around. That being said, there are plenty of ways to design, test, check, and double-check this kind of stuff. It's not hard per se, just kinda tedious.

We'll likely ask for some help testing LK's new infrastructure on a Preview Build here in the next couple weeks. We really want it to be battle-hardened and ultra-high-quality for its launch. More info to come.

Oh, and the Settings dialog is finally getting a makeover it's been long overdue for, as well. It's nice to get these old bits polished up:

I think 2021 is going to be a another huge year for LK! This upcoming update is going to be a game-changer, and that will be just the beginning. Thank you for your support and patience! Working on LK is still a dream, and it wouldn't be so without such a great community.
