Suddenly, lots of stuff going on! I'll divide it into sections so you can find the pieces relevant to you.
TLS Progress: Looking at my work last week, if I'd said I was using that time to mentally prepare, I wouldn't blame someone for not believing it. But dang, maybe I really did need some time to work on 0.52.0 subconsciously, because this week I exploded straight into productivity. The upcoming update won't be huge, but it will be intense.
Mapping Problem... Resolved?: For parallax or complex mapping, I've been using one guy for a few years, but he may not be able to continue due to health issues. This might have been a delaying issue, but I got on it, and the replacement mapper might work well. Fingers crossed, but I anticipate the map being done by the time I need it.
Patreon Taxes: You may have already gotten a message about this, but Patreon keeps telling us to talk to patrons. Basically, certain national laws require Patreon to add taxes to some of your pledges. I jumped through the hoops to properly classify all the tiers, which if I understand the documentation correctly, should reduce everyone's taxes as much as possible.
Activism Bundle: I've been quiet regarding current politics, but there's a huge game bundle with the proceeds going to causes. Take a look at it: with 1700+ games, obviously they won't all be of interest, but there's some top indie stuff in there. Celeste and Pyre alone will probably be cheaper here than the Steam summer sale, plus there's Nuclear Throne and some interesting experiments like The Hex or Minit. This is an unusually cheap bundle, so take a look.
Reddit AMA Tomorrow: I have a solo AMA at r/fantasy, coinciding with a sale on TBS. Most of these threads are only semi-successful, but it's still a rare opportunity to get a lot of potential eyeballs on my work. You can feel free to ask your own questions or vote, if you're so inclined. I may send an update when it goes live.
Anyway, that's all for now. The next TLS update is getting closer!
