Status on 0.4.5.5 (Patreon)

Hey,

it's Friday, so I take a short break and tell you what I did over the past days.

I've been working on the bonus scene for Ayita/Hiba/Raaisha for most of the week.
After the animations were all done I had some trouble with Ayita and her code. Some of you already mentioned to me that Ayita was disappearing in the evening and other problems. So I had to do something about her positioning. But the bigger problem was the dialogue in her events. When I did that back then (It was also part of a bonus scene at some point) I wasn't thinking about what it would mean to add new stuff to that at some point. Meaning the code was VERY redundant and if I wanted to add a new animation I had to add it at 4 different places even though it was the same scene just with some slight differences. So I cursed myself and cleaned it up. This will make it much easier to add new content for her in the future.

Speaking of it, yesterday I've worked on animations for Hiba & Ayita at the orc camp. I've promised to do that for 0.4.5.5 so today I will implement the option to send both of them over instead of Tia/Raaisha.
The other thing which I want to start working on today is a new map to expand Rumah.
The place is already pretty cramped, so for the new stuff I want to add to it we need a bit more room.

We're already 10 days into December and of course I made some mental deadlines for the month. I'm not sure if I can make them 100% but of course the goal would be to be done with 0.4.6.0 until Christmas. Means I want to release 0.4.5.5 on the coming Friday (17th) and 0.4.6.0 on the 23rd. Then in the week after Christmas I have a few more days to work on the bonus scene for Claire.

On paper this looks doable, but I've learned in the past that usually some things go wrong or just take longer... So we will see how realistic these deadlines are. I will keep you updated as always here every week and on discord.

For now I wish you all a nice weekend!
