Hey everyone
I bring not so good news this time. The update is delayed for a bit.
I know some people will get angry over this and I'm sorry, but I'll explain the situation. There have been a number of issues recently that are causing this delay.
As you may or may not know, the main coder on the project is Lain. He's been unresponsive for 12 days now. I can't reach him at all. I don't know what's causing this and I hope nothing bad happened. But this is not the first or the second time this happened and I can't wait any longer. So I won't be working together with Lain anymore.
Now the 'team' doesn't have a coder. 'Team' because it's just Risael and me now. If it was just a release with regular scenes I could manage the implementation of them into the game but this update features new locations and minigames in a system I didn't create. And in the long run, someone who specializes in programming will always do it 10x faster than I could and most likely a lot better. So I do what I do, making renders and animations and I'll be hiring someone to do the coding.
Thanks to Lain for helping with the project for as long as he did.
Now, my first thought was to get someone to jump in and help out with the project ASAP and just rush it somehow. But no more half measures. I have promising candidates for the job and I'm going to make sure I find someone who we can work together with as a great team, someone who I can plan with long term.
The other issues have been on the technical side, my old PC which has been rendering most of the DoD: DE animations is acting up, along with my NAS which provides physical backups of my work files and handles the file sharing between the render nodes.
After a few days of futile attempts, I managed to fix the NAS issue today. I'll fix the old PC as well so it can keep on rendering the juicy animations.
So it's been rough lately, but it is what it is guys. I'm sorry about the delay but these things happen. I'm hiring someone as soon as possible and we'll get back on track. I'll keep you in the loop about it.
I know it doesn't fix things, but I brought some previews, you can check them out above.
The update slips over to December, however I'd like to reassure everyone that everybody who is a Patron $10 and above will get the update in December. Will bring it to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
And as always, thank you for you support!
