Dev Update 2021-04-09 (Patreon)

Another week gone!

I had a near miss accident where I almost lost my finger earlier this week (It was a show-off game of chicken between my index finger and a kitchen knife that slipped) that caused my s/o to nearly faint. All is well now, and no digits were severed. I am no longer allowed to wield kitchen knives during dinner, but my ego will recover.

I've been in talks with the brilliant coder that assisted me and Murkwood with the code that allows players to create and import their own mods/stories. He will very likely be helping us with the coding for Episode 3 and all the dynamic events we've been working on.

Zaph has been continuing to draw, (you should check out the latest characters that he has done for us here and here) and we've commissioned the next batch of backgrounds from Caba.

My day job has been continuing to take up the lion share of my time (as it should be) but as mentioned previously this is a good thing as it allows me to push more funds into Infinite Stars. My patrons are absolutely amazing, and without their support and motivation I wouldn't be able to do what I do, but despite this, the project is still a way off from being financially self sufficient.

Also, April officially marks the date when I started working on Infinite Stars a year ago. Back then I didn't have a budget, patrons or any artists and composers, but somehow, through sheer will and perseverance it all came together. We've come a long way, and the future is looking bright!
