Dev Report #10 (June 10th, 2023) (Patreon)

Yo! 🙂


Not a ton to share this week.
There was a change in my plans and I've spent a portion of this week organizing / cleaning / purging my files.
My Daz was crashing multiple times a day and it was super annoying so I did fresh installs of everything and things have been more stable since.

The first beta of Episode 10 will be out soon. Possibly tomorrow but most likely Monday.
I've decided to go ahead and work on the second beta alongside the first so I can build up a buffer to hopefully achieve the consistency that I'm currently lacking in release times. So most of the second beta is already finished and I'll be keeping about an update's worth of a buffer on hand. So this second beta will be released as I finish the 3rd beta... if that makes sense.
I'm happy with the amount of work I've put out in these past few months but I'm not happy with the inconsistent release times and I think making and maintaining this buffer will be huge in improving that consistency as if anything were to slow me down for any reason, I could eat into the buffer and then build it back up.

Due to these changes, this first beta will have sped up tier release timings since the first beta is taking longer to finish than originally planned.
I'll likely cut it in half and do 12 hour tier releases instead of 24.
Though, this will be the last update with sped up tier releases.

There will also be a lot of side content posted soon, Birthday renders will be posted shortly after the first beta and the client poll will be on Tuesday. Character sheets for  June and July will be posted sometime this week and I'm still not completely certain how I'll handle the ditlo but I'll have an answer for that in the next dev report.

That's all for me for this week. I apologize for the change in plans as I originally intended to build the buffer over time but things were getting a little too stressful so I decided to go ahead and get it out of the way now.
As always, thank you all so much for everything and please take care.
Spread some love and have a wonderful week everyone!
