Content

I've bitten off more than I can chew, but it's important to me to get this release out soon. Apologies to those of you whose messages I have neglected. I am trying to set aside all potential distractions and focus on working, so this update will just be some assorted paragraphs I wrote earlier in the week:

The new version has a lot of new content. Version 0.30.2 of the game had 1625 files - version 0.31.0 has 1750+ so far. Not sure if that sounds like a significant increase, but those represent maps, tiles, faces, and other things that I hope will make the new areas seem novel.

Crimson Gray finally hit 50 reviews! This isn't the biggest of deals, but it does improve the search algorithm a little and it's nice to unlock the "Very Positive" rating:


For some reason DLsite decided to interview me as their creator for this month. You can find the interview here:

Back to work.

For the opening of a new chapter, I think it's totally fair to expect it to take significantly longer than an ordinary update. I'm probably biased here since I prefer to take the game in longer rather than more frequent chunks, but having all the appropriate pieces in place for the introduction of a new portion of the game seems a lot more important to me than a quick turnaround time.

I've said it before, but I wish I had a fraction of your work ethic.

Badger66

Agreed, I love your work ethic. Saying that, don't kill yourself getting this release out. If you need a break, take it. Anyways, I hope you have a great evening!

Bladestorm

I can wait, and excited for the new update. But like Badger said don't push yourself to hard I like your work ethic but don't let it affect your health.

This tumblr link doesn't seem to show the whole interview, and I have the suspicion it would not work if I didn't have a tumblr account. Looking forward to the release. To torture the metaphor, I don't mind you biting off more than you can chew occasionally, when it always seems to get properly digested in due time.

That's a real fancy way of saying that thing I agree with.

Argenten

yeah no worries Sierra, you are doing an amazing job with the game, you have an incredible work ethic that I wish other game devs had, and if it takes time, we know that's because you are going above and beyond

And I appreciate that many share your opinion, but there are always many different considerations. I try to do what I think is best for the game long term.

That's a surprisingly complex metaphor for some all caps using idiot...

Just every so often, what seems to be unbelievable idiocy is actually the malevolent guile of an evil genius.

The new version has a lot of new content. Version 0.30.2 of the game had 1625 files - version 0.31.0 has 1750+ so far. 1625 file over 30 release ~ 54 file/release 1750-1625 ~ 125 file an update more then two time bigger from the average. impressive

I don't know if it will feel that way, but I'm trying to add a lot to make the new freedom granted rewarding.

I'm pretty sure they actually figured out how to do it with pee, but the sentiment is there.

Congrats on the interview and CG piquing more interest. Fulminato said in raw format what I thought upon reading that post. An almost 8% expansion in under two months, when you have been doing this for how long?

Glad it comes off that way, but I should say that game files isn't a perfect metric for content. For example, I've spent the past several days doing new versions of previous areas, and that didn't add a single game file.

Desertopa
>>8709805

To tell the truth, before you mentioned it, it never even occurred to me to treat "number of files" as a metric for size of a game release. I'd never even thought to check how many files were in any of my own game projects, let alone any other games I've played.

sierralee
>>8709805

Mainly mentioned it because I've spent so much time with some of those. Finding and editing a new faceset for orcs can take a little while - multiply that by a whole lot of different assets and it consumes a lot of time. It's different than normal updates, where most of my time is spent on writing.

As I understand it is full of various objects that can be used later on for other things. Which means it's like building up a base for future updates. Which is good.

Silver

Congrats...Not suprised at all by all the recognition you gain...you deserve even more of it.
