Dang that was an incredibly close poll with the result still in question with an hour left to go.
Will hand over to the patron who has done a wonderful job sorting this all out again for what's up next:
After two weeks of surprisingly tight voting The Abyss’ Call has emerged as the victor! Thank you to everyone who has given suggestions, and I hope you’ll all be able to enjoy this outcome. Now, it is time for the final phase: fleshing the...

Nice, it was a five way tie! Quicker Than You Like, Eastern Knots, And Yet She Lingers, The Abyss' Call, and Stockings and Bows specifically.
This time it's the tie-breaker where you have just the one vote this time.

Been giving the existing aspects a going over in preparation for adding the new ones. I've changed how the text is generated rather than having to repeat them all four times in different places. Wording has also been improved, made more consistent with extra formatting, and now some require a certain level of experience before they can be taken.
I've also made decent progress on changing the level up system so that certain aspects can st...

For those that are new the purpose of these polls are:

After Opalescent did such a great job with the High Elf and her amazing eyes I had to go back to them and they've done some fantastic work here with the biomancer of the Ensnared Rose. Especially dig how they realised her eye-patch. For those with longer memories of patron provided commissions might also recognise her bust and what a bust it is too.

A generous patron a while back helped organise an assignment that was designed with the rest of the discord. That led to the Arisin' on the Storm Rare Dreadsea Coast assignment along with a couple of other good ideas in regard to setting details that I do still hope to make use of sometime.
Now they're back and I'll just hand things over to them for what they have planned. As before my input is purely to make these posts on the patron, serve as adjudicator/mediator, and ...

After the discovery the expiry issue was still cropping up around month six thanks to a spot from a patron on the discord I did what I really should have done before and just brute forced lot of assignment generation, expiry, and completions until stuff broke. Turned out to be a combination of two city assignments not adding their expiry lengths correctly, and an issue with how assignments weren't always being totally wiped after being removed.

All goes well the non-TF edition of this will be the one used for the public release. As part of this hotfix I've changed the workings of every current assignment in the game so if you notice anything weird with any assignments completing, expiring, or not coming back after many scouting attempts then please let me know.

Mentioned the wonderful news about hitting the $1,750 tier this month already in the commission poll earlier this week, but it's far too good not to mention again. Thank you so much!

The May+June commission poll has kicked off, and thankfully it's not looking like anywhere near the landslide as the last one. The cheerleaders have taken an early and yet not insurmountable lead.
Now though I've got another bonus commission to share from Eladaer. With this one and the Ever Forest one that will be started in the next few days that's all the region scouting commissions taken care of. Then again I'm not sure the drider Scout the City currently really works for a ...

I'll again be trying the extra polls at higher tiers so hopefully this time all three aren't quite as much of a landslide to make things more interesting.
Also this time round we hit the 1,750 a month tier! Thank you so much! That means that for the first time I'll be increasing the potential characters for these commissions from four to six. Will the fifth poll option still keep it's mysterious, perhaps even supernatural, allure when there is another one to choose from? Only time...

As a heads up I'm going to be away for all next week from my main computer. Should be able to make some progress by doing some writing, and I believe that I'll also have the internet so I can look in on the Discord and the like on occasion.
The update came out! And lo there was much rejoicing. Mainly from me.
Also got the hotfix out which seems to have solved most of the major issues that have been brought to my attention.

To say this update scaled way, way out of what I had originally planned is quite the understatement to put it lightly.
As usual this is the initial update so likely there will be a hotfix or two to follow. Aiming to also include some more patron requested stuff for those now I've got the main update out.

Right so maybe this new polling idea might have worked out better if the option of a asanei maid didn't lead to such an insane landslide on all three of the polls :D
For those who aren't currently patrons and as you wouldn't have seen any of those posts and so have no idea what I'm talking about. Basic upshot of it is the following:
I'm going to be running extra polls at the $10 and $25 tiers. You get one chance to vote per poll, for however many options you like, s...

Now those have and will continue to always be a side project. The commissioner though was happy to wait, and with one update done since, and another one out very soon for No Haven (some time next week should be based on how things are going) I found the time to finish this one off.

Still plugging away on the final parts of the update. Got a lot done, fair bit to do, and I'm hoping to finish it by the end of this week at the latest. It's gone from a fairly minor update to a very, very decidedly substantial one so now I just hope it's been worth the wait.
Now though is the alternative poll for May.

Really got to work out some way of better balancing my constant desire to make the game as ambitious and in depth as it can be with getting out consistent updates in a timely fashion. While I've been doing this for a good amount of time now I'm still learning as I go just how to manage how I handle all of this, and I'm well aware that there's a lot of room for improvement on that front.
Doubly so if I want to be able to ...

While normally for patron requested stuff I'll go for placeholder art with hope of eventually getting them replaced them one day. This funded assignment though I both loved the concept of, and would have been very, very hard to represent with something generic.
Plus I was feeling overly flush at the time. Mur000 had gone above the call for the Mistress background so figured why not? You can find more of their work 2019-04-29 20:46:24 +0000 UTC
