Spooktober & new Patreon Billing System
🕑 Added 2022-10-07 05:04:14 +0000 UTCGreetings! It's oktober!
First of all this is what's up with the game at the moment:
I'm continuing to work on the "town life" updates. Next update will introduce Church Maiden "performing miracles" in Church. Besides the scene itself they will have some gameplay effects. GG (General Goods Girl) needs some help "testing her new inventory" and Anvil has a money making scheme. I think Church Maiden & GG's scenes will done and ready for upload this weekend, and I will try finish up Anvil's scene, it's a bit longer and complicated so might need some time for that though.
"Behind the scenes", I've worked on improving textures, the outfits, models of characters, light effects and so on. It doesn't sound very exciting in a changelog, but basically it will improve the look and quality of the scenes. Which I think is important for a "visual" game like this.
Similarly I've been working on improving variables, switches and triggers. Which basically means improving the system for how new quests and content are triggered. And how the story moves forward. It's one of those things that sounds boring, but pays off in the long run. I read a horror story about some other dev taking a lot shortcuts and not planning ahead, and thus the game code ended up being a complete mess. In the end he dropped development because it become too complicated to add new content without something breaking. So I'm trying to avoid that.

Secondly Patreon has implemented a new billing system. Before Patreon always charged 1st day each month, now there's an option to get billed on the same date you join. So if you join, say the 7th Oktober, your subscription is paid on the 7th each month.
I'm gonna put a poll later for you patrons, so you can decide of you want the new billing system or if you want to keep things as they are.

Anyway, hope your still enjoying the game, and look forward to more content this month! Feel free to message me if you got any questions either on Patreon or Discord!

Yea, that would be useful. I think this new system is probably the closest we'll get to that at the moment, though

I would prefer a "paid on a chosen day" option from patreon. Because depending on the weekdays on the change of months i could get my wage on the 2nd or even 3rd day and some whole industries are paid "on" the 15th like temp workers.
