Knee Recovery | Patreon Weekly #245

Added 2024-02-12 22:06:30 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons! As I mentioned in last weekly, this week I’ve been fairly busy with helping my dad recover from some knee surgery. Everything’s going well on that front, but recovery takes a while and as a result I’ve had little time to work on Shattered stuff.

I’m afraid that because of this I don’t really have anything worth showing atm. I’m hopeful to have a little more time this week, even just for more thorough concepting, but it’s possible that my work time will still be very limited until next week.

However, I can at least share the results from Patreon Poll #50:
No Catalyst Changes: 20%
Remove Catalysts Entirely: 36%
Just Remove From Recipes: 52%
While the results here look pretty mixed at first glance, it’s important to remember that the 2nd and 3rd option are very similar. Overall 88% of respondents voted for option 2 or 3, and then after that the votes were split about 60/40 in favor of not removing catalysts entirely. With that in mind I’ll be moving forward with all the changes I mentioned in that poll, including repurposing the direct catalyst effects into two new items.

If I’m able to find some time this week, I’ll maybe see about doing some technical work on replacing catalysts, and some concepting work on trinkets. Hopefully I’ll be able to do a bit of sharing on that next week.
