Currently, the Patreon API is super slow for some reason. Some requests take up to 7 times longer than usual. Since Patreon sends data so slowly, some account updates might time out. I will implement a fix that circumvents that issue, if Patreon doesn't fix their API in the next few days.
If you are affected (e.g., if you are a subscriber but the platform says that you have no tier), simply unlink your Patreon account and add it again. This should do the trick.

Unfortunately, Apple was too selfish to open its doors to everyone around the globe and only made third-party app stores possible within the European Union. So, a possible iOS version of the game would only be accessible if you own an Apple device running iOS under European law.

After years of development and this Patreon, it is time for the first changes ever to the model on Patreon.
The changes I am implementing will provide stability for the next few years and ensure a consistent experience, just like the old tiers did. With these changes, I hope to increase the value and comfort of the Patreon, not the prices. So you can expect to continue paying the same amount for the same services, just as previously. These changes aim to make space...
2024-10-09 10:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostI made massive changes to the game's fundamental structure during September. All of them are potentially game-breaking and took this entire month to implement.
In the meantime, the cloud services for the image generation engine are already up and running, but the game is not yet connected to them. The first tests with the image generation engine worked surprisingly splendidly, too. These cloud services allow the game to request ima...

I can report steady progress with the new character window, though. The first test runs went splendidly, and I am now working to create interfaces to make it connectable to other applications and integrate them into Gain of Life.
I understand that this delay may be disappointing. The good news is: There should...

This month's version encountered a few unexpected hurdles. GitLab introduced disruptive changes to pipelines, affecting GoL's pipelines. However, I identified and resolved this issue within a day. I hope this does not go on like that because the idea of the automatic game distribution is to save me time. The pipeline broke each month, causing more work than manually distributing the game.

The past days/weeks I have been focusing on the character rendering engine again. If you are already familiar with what I'm talking about, I'm sorry, but the first part of the text will probably be boring for you then.
About a year ago I thought about automizing the rendering process for 3d models (a.k.a. the pictures used in Gain of Life), most importantly those for the main character. The way the images of the main character are handled is quite awful...

Since the game has reached a decent size, it must be a pain to always download everything, even though most of the content has not changed.
That's why I came up with updated packages. When I do a bug fix / minor update, I will upload the new bug-fixed version, just like before, with an additional "update package".
The update package only includes the files changed. This is how to use an update package on Windows:
