Coder here! I know the artist gave you an update a few days ago, but I wanted to keep you in the loop on my end of things. I particularly want this build to become a fond future memory, and a spank-bank favorite that you'll return to with enthusiasm.

I know it’s taking longer than usual, but don’t worry, it’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, 0.8.4 is almost finished, and pretty soon it’ll be waiting there for you.

A good experience comes down to little details, and, above all else, I really want this build to be full and rounded-out, with small secrets and excitements. So I’m drinking three day old coffee, listening to good music, writing and coding (with hopes you’ll disappear into the adventure and have a good time), and intermittently battling this one mosquito that lives to make my life hell. 

The artist mentioned that I was working on including a CCG, and man, I really underestimated how long that would take. I spent forever just inventing the rules, let alone implementing the AI, card effects, general mechanics, and using existing art to create the actual cards, and in the end it was such a clunky mess that I had to give up on it. I definitely had a long sigh when I let it go, but it’s just not possible to create something that size that isn’t crap in such a short period of time. I’d love to do something like that using girls instead of cards in the future though. Unlikely, but I can dream. 

I’ll try to come up with a special future treat for you guys being so awesome. I think you’ll like this next build though; hopefully you’ll find it worth the wait.

Now back to it! Cheers!

Even if it comes out in another day or two, it's still going to be in bughunt for a while. Kind of rough considering the tier I paid for promises a build "at least one every month!".

I wish you guys would stop whining about this. Most games like this have an update once every 3-4 months it hasn't even been a full 2months since the last update and you guys are acting like the world is ending. I swear you guys are beyond spoiled. Try making a game and see how long it takes you. Shit happens sometimes you are gonna have to wait a bit longer. So just chill out and wait.

Well I think at this point no one will be mad, if you download early versions from other websites. I considered it myself because as you said we pay for "monthly updates". I mean things don't always go as planed no harm done but every goddam month... like come on...

Anonymous

it is perfectly reasonable to be upset when you are paying for something that is said to be out once a month. If they don't think they can do once a month they should remove that. This is not about being spoiled, this is about expecting the creator to follow the plans that you agreed to pay for.

On average 4 elements takes about 1 month and 1 week to put out a new update. versus other games that make just as much money or more than this one and take 3-5 months with much shorter patches than 4 elements. 4 elements consistently puts out the fastest updates/patches of any game I have seen of this caliber and have the best customer service of any game I have seen of this caliber. That is why I continue to support them.

Amazing seen all the Cry babies in the comments

Wow. People are being so impatient. For a game of this quality to update once a month is phenomenal. I've advocated many times that they should change the update schedule to once every two months instead. So they can add in even more and not have to rush stuff at the end of every month. At least they're communicating as well. Many devs just go radio silent for weeks on end expecting you to just wait. At least they usually post and talk once a week. There are way worse games with much worse update systems. Be happy that these devs care to put out a good product. Despite all the complaining children here.

Patience only goes as far as to what you are to expect. If im told updates once a month, and im paying for updates once a month, i expect updates once a month. I very much appreciate the communication cause sometimes things go wrong, but thats not the issue here, nothing went wrong, they just put to much on their plate at once. If they want to do that, they should indeed extend their lead times for us all to know from this point forward updates will take longer, instead of saying "soon" every 2 weeks. It's that reason alone why we're all feeling testy.

Zana

Maybe I've just been around patreon and devs so often I tend to let stuff slide. Shit happens. If This Were a developer that released subpar updates often, I would probably start getting upset. But this is one of the very few devs that has consistently released good updates, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Anonymous

the guys calling people who are upset crybabies must be the best customers in the world, "yo.. could you pay in advance?" "yeah sure!:)" "Yoooo. is it cool if you dont get anything for you money?" "no probs my dude!:D"

To my knowledge it's just the two people doing this. That's a lot to do for each person, so they likely could benefit from another pair of hands. That being said, finding decent people in this field is tentative at best.

Does This Game Has A Discord Server Or Something Like That?

Can we get another update? I thought it would be a few days after this post

RetroRey

yeah big unsub. going on 10 days since " its basically done" which was after " its only gonna be a few more days" after " we arew going to miss the month deadline" we are soon going to break 3 months lol

Zana

As of the day you posted, it was exactly 2 months since the last 'bug hunt' version. Not sure where you pulled '3 months' from.

Daito Shoto

last update was August 13, in 3 days it will have been 2 months.

RetroRey

i mean at the rate its going , its not impossible to say we are going to hit 3 months. i didnt say it WAS three months i said we could hit it. goddam the white knights of false promises are here

lykos

Dont ad content you cant deliver.CCG isnt just another mini game you can just thrown it in takes time you dont have. Hope the coder didn just use all the time taken and just making the uptade now 10 days isnt much for a uptade. Pretty pleas there are so many blueballs in stake.

Jonas manniche Larsen

"We are going to miss this months deadline, but it is almost done" *one month pass* "Okay just a few more days" *one month pass* "Almost there" *2 weeks past* "Welp idk how to code anymore, my hands just dont work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

RetroRey

one week passes " itll be ready soon" another 2 weeks pass "itell be ready soon" another 2 weeks pass " itll be ready soon" another 2 weeks pass "itll be ready soon" why should this be differenT?

Daito Shoto

ye idk about everyone else but im here to see Korra's asshole get ripped open by massive dick, not play a card game

Josh Spicer

You know I love you but maybe an update WOULD be helpful.
