Plans going forward (Patreon)

Hi there, all doing good?

As I've mentioned in my discord a bit over a week ago, I've been working on several things behind the scenes, making for what seems like a draught in releases.

So let's talk a bit about it.

WebApps

I currently have engaged 4 devs assisting me with webapps that, if successfully delivered, will end up public facing.

The first one is a ABSOLUTE necessity for the communities I'm involved with going forward, and I view it as a necessity and absolutely critical to get going, so two devs are contracted and assigned to this project.

Further on, we have something highly requested, though not critical. Currently there are two iterations on the table, one almost release ready and one in the design phase. Servers are acquired and all for the almost ready one, the second is just entering planning phase. 1 dev is contracted and assigned to the one that is furthest along, while I'm interacting with several devs for positions on the second one.

Internal tooling

Several internal toolings are also en route. First off is a tool allowing me to better streamline packing and testing. This is a 100% internal tool though, set to be open sourced if I ever step aside, alternatively given to a successor if need be. one dev is interested and will take over my attempts at making the tool to expedite it a bit if contracted. 

Then we have a tool that I had hoped to send live this week, a Installer for my packs:

Basically to address what seems like a growing number of users unsure how to install my packs. I've run into some problems during dev of this app though, so will not make it to the next batch of releases, but will be released on its own as well as bundled with packs when it's done. I may be in need of translators to make this app Multilanguage when it's done, but that won't be in version 1.

There's also some other projects going on that are far from ready from the spotlight, so stay tuned.

Packs

Now, as I stated in my discord a week or so ago, I'm way due to updating my packs, so all my involvement with anything development is concluded for the time being to focus back on that. I will now focus on updating my core packs (KK, EC, AIS and HS2) before returning to that. I will still need to coordinate other people assisting me with the dev, but packs now take my primary attention again for a bit, as there have been movement on the modding scene that I really should get integrated into my packs, there's even mods I've been involved with financing, such as BetterPenetration for KK, a MoreAcc bugfix for EC and some other odds and ends, so best get that sorted.

To all of you, thank you a lot for your continued support while I've been busy on the backend \o/
