December devblog
🕑 Added 2018-12-02 16:12:58 +0000 UTC- I've decided to rearrange my release schedule to be a more stable one. Starting from December, updates are released every Saturday (it means 4-5 times a month). So, from Monday till Friday I develop the game when I can do that, Saturday is for the release and hotfixing, Sunday is for rest and recharging batteries. I guess it would be a perfect solution: it gives me enough time to make a content-rich update and it's frequent enough to keep you engaged and correct the way the game is developed.
- The previous release model rotated nightly builds and public releases. Instead of that I'm going to use the standard way other game creators use: when a new nightly build is released, the previous one becomes the public version.
- To make my Patreon page a bit more interesting I'm going to try a new feature: 'Work in progress' post. I create such one on Monday and update daily till Saturday. The post contains my current goals: what is done, what is in progress and what is to do. So it would be possible for you to track the development of the game almost live and it's another reason for me to work more effectively.
- Every tier starting from 5$ and more will start receiving patron-only content that will not be present in the public versions. Sure, the higher tiers will have access to the lower tiers content. I've got some ideas and I'll write about them in the next posts.
- I'm determined to start other story lines (dominant, neutral and female/submissive) this month, so I can develop every direction equally. I think a nice update should include content additions to every path and that's one of my goals I want to achieve.
- I've created a Discord server - and some of you already joined it. At the moment I'd like to stay anonymous and thus can respond only in text messages, but in future, I guess, I might change my opinion about that. Discord is more convenient for communication rather than Patreon messages or comments - so, welcome, everyone. By the way, if you have ideas what rewards I can offer to different patron tiers - write about that in comments.
- I still follow November's content preferences poll. In the end of December I'll create another poll that would define priorities for January development.
