EliteMobs 7.2 release!
🕑 Added 2020-10-24 13:48:41 +0000 UTCI'd be surprised if you didn't notice it by now, but EliteMobs 7.2 was released!
Pretty much every patron was already aware of what was in the dev builds, so I'll only mention what you can look forward to in the future.
Future (public) updates:
I've been toying around with a few concepts to avoid having such a long break between releases again. The long break actually rather hurts the development, not only because it makes writing proper documentation and making changelogs a rather monumental task, but also because plugins usually get the most traffic and exposure when they get an update, which really makes it rather shocking how EliteMobs managed to make it all the way up to 28,000 unique downloads for the last version alone (50% of the total download count!).
As such, I am considering adopting a different system where I release new builds either
a) When a new feature is done, with the minimum complexity of the feature being similar to that of a single power;
b) Once every two weeks or once per month (depending on irl circumstances), releasing bug fixes and tweaks even if the features I'm working on aren't complete yet or as polished as they could be;
This might mean that, at times, the public version might get a bit buggy, but after thinking about it for a while the public version was already much buggier when it wasn't updated for a year straight.
The next few updates:
As was voted for, the next update (7.3) is the arena update, followed by the true dungeon update (7.4).
A new vote will be going up at some point in the future for the theme of the 7.5 update, but I am going to delay it until the arenas update is out.
What's coming right now:
I am going to resume streaming, and will be working on Halloween content throughout this weekend. There will be premium and free content for it. After that I will wrap up working on the dungeons, and then truly resume in adding features. I want to give at least a couple of weeks for people to really take the time and look into the 7.2 update, and not drown it out by releasing 2-3 more updates.
As always, thank you for your support!
Happy adventuring.
