May 2024 Update

Greetings Everyone,

FBS

We've reached our Milestone #4 goal! Voting will start Monday the 6th and will last approximately 2 weeks. I will have the points updated, some new bounties, caveat updates on existing bounties, and website updates this weekend. This will be the first Milestone that will have voting on Patreon. Although, I beg that you vote on the official forums if you're able to do so. 

While there has been progress on the Milestone #2 artwork, it is not completed yet. So I will be pitching in an additional $1000 worth of bounties for Milestone #4. Milestone #2 Voters will also get 1/3rd of their votes returned. Nonetheless, work on the artwork will continue. Sorry, for the delay.

We raised $565.21 on Patreon this month, and $219.58 on Paypal, putting us at $2881.27. With the $1000 bonus, you'll have $3881.27 worth of bounties to vote on.

GearCity

I've spent the last week working on 2.3.0.2 and 2.0.0.12. I should have these completed before voting finishes. I will likely stretch Milestone #4 (2.4.0.0) development a little longer than previous programming Milestones. So these bugfix updates will hopefully tide ya'll over in the mean time. (And improve anyone's 2.3 saves should they want to continue them.)

AeroMogul

After the last new update, I cleaned up the new code and then paused work. I switched over to GearCity to get bugfix updates out. Milestone #4 is likely 2 months of GearCity work, and I do not want to stay that long away from AeroMogul code. It takes a couple of weeks to get back up to speed when away for so long. So, I plan to stagger Milestone #4 work with AeroMogul work. Do a week of 2nd Gear, do a week of AeroMogul, and bounce back and forth. I hope that reduces rust and improves code quality and programming speed. We'll see. The lack of artwork is slowing everything down!
