July 2024 Update
Added 2024-07-03 15:33:41 +0000 UTCGreetings Everyone,
FBS Fund Raising
We raised $568.48 this month, $545.99 from Patreon, and $22.49 from PayPal. This puts us at $1174.20 toward our $2500 goal. When we reach this goal, we will get a $1000 bonus from Milestone #2's failure, and I will temporarily pause FBS fundraising.
GearCity: 2nd Gear
I've spent the entire last month working on Bounty #19 Complete Factory Redesign. I'm pleased to announce that this bounty is nearly complete. I only need to write a small formula for the auto adjuster and playtest and balance the AI/system. To date, this bounty has taken 44 days to complete, not including playtesting.
Was it worth it? More planning has to go into production/inventory now, that's for sure.
Once completed, I plan on taking a break for a week or two to finish the things I was working on AeroMogul two months ago and then switch back to GC: 2nd Gear and work on Engine Height and Individual Sub-Component Skills bounties. I will have more time freed up in August that should allow me to do my regular 50-60 hour work weeks, whereas now I am struggling to reach 40-hour weeks.
AeroMogul
No work has gone into AeroMogul in June due to the FBS Milestone #4 bounties. Starting with Milestone #5, I will slow down the FBS system since it is not sustainable with the lack of artwork. My hope is to free up more time for AeroMogul without completely killing the FBS.
