Dev Blog #152 - Back on Track (Patreon)

Greetings everyone!

It's been a little while since a dev blog made the rounds, and there's an update looming on the horizon, so let's get into it!

Website Changeover

So I wanted to go ahead and lead with this since it will be pretty impactful when it happens. After years of going back and forth with the current host for the official website, I've finally decided to throw in the towel. Issues with downtime, Wordpress, backend complications have been worsening over time, and with the renewal on the host coming up I've made the decision to go ahead and not continue with the site.

The alternative server, which has been rock solid for a long time now, is going to become the new primary server, and with it a new address.

You can now play The Company at thecompanygame.games!

DevBlogs will remain here and on our SubscribeStar, as well as the Discord server. We'll be cleaning up links to the old site over the next week or so.

For those who play on the current primary server, if you want to bring your save file over to the new server by exporting it to disk (enable Desktop Mode in mobile) and loading it into the game when playing on the new site. If you don't intend to bring your save over, or if you're playing the local downloaded version, you have nothing to worry about!

We expect this changeover to be finalized by the end of the month.

Update 5.9.1 - Penny Proper

The end of May should see with it the release of Update 5.9.1, a followup to last month's update that will complete Penny's available content.

This will include all serum route content, new conversations and events, and MCSX content for Penny. Additionally, we'll be using this update as a way to set up John's "Dom John" route epilogue, bringing The Company's first real ending into the game!

We're looking at releasing our first dev build for Update 5.9.1 this week, if not very early next week.

That's it for this dev blog! We'll have more to share about our next update AND our next project in the upcoming development blog, so definitely look forward to that. As always, thank you all so much for your continued feedback and support.
