Weekly Update [2018-06-15] (Patreon)

76 hours...

76 hours is what the latest estimate for dev says we have left until all know bugs and outstanding work is done from the new Taps of Eradine update its complete. Feels good, man! 

This week we found and resolved a CDN issue which would have been causing annoying lag for downloads in ToE too that has gone unnoticed for the last 2 months because many people will just assume Slow Server, but in fact one of the nodes on the CDN was in fact stale and randomly introducing a 60 second timeout situation! 

In brief:

• Tamara suffered from a tablet meltdown meaning she had to revert back to her old one whilst it gets repairs meaning a bit of slowdown on the assets front. Some great new icons for the fishing minigame however were still created
• Vadim is beasting through the new outfits and completed the Diving Suit in all its glory!
• James fixed some Shards of Eradine issues and rolled it out to Itch where you can also buy special bundles now that include t shirts, hoodies, pin badges and post cards. 
• I've fixed achievements, rebirth, slotted shards bugs according to my list of finished tasks, and wrote some all new Visual Novel scenes involving this hot mamma...

I officially move house on Monday so there will be a little bit of downtime whilst we do. Its been a stressful few weeks and months on this front, not knowing if we'd have anywhere to live etc, so it will be nice to get settled in the new place and not have that hanging over us! 

Other than that, I hope to have a finished build in the sandbox for midweek and looking forward to the rollout process! Once we have it on the server, we will start looking at the Patreon tiers and deciding what we will have for the first months exclusive reward for Taps players there too.... anyone for a Pimp outfit? :)
