Status Update - Why is it taking long, how big is this update really and at what stage am I ? + a Flowchart.
Hey guys, I’ve been getting quite a lot of questions about this, so I decided to give you a short(well, not that short really) rundown on why this update is taking so long, how big it actually is, and where I’m at in the process.
Here is what an average update that developers(and me) typically would release in about a three-month cycle looks like:
And here, my upcoming update, a flow chart:
Looks pretty big and comprehensive, huh? I know, I know... Yeah, a lot of events, routes, paths...
I’m sure you’re going to have a lot of fun playing this one, but as you can imagine, I’ve been having a bit of a hard time putting it together. And yes, as you can now see, this is why the update is taking a bit long. It’s a huge freaking update, with a lot of events. And these are big, substantial, comprehensive events, not empty ones that take place in a single location with just one or two characters. I could've produce two different great updates just from that one party event, but anyway, I promised this time and I'll give you all of them in one go.
So, just give me a little more time, I’m getting close there, and you won’t regret it.
Here's a sort of roadmap of which characters future updates will focus on.
Getting together the free roam of update 0.7.3 took me some effort, I worked on it from time to time during the break, but it's pretty much done now. And yeah, all of these had to be done for the 0.8 update, so they weren't pointless tasks. Anyway, it will be released in a few days. Most likely monday or tuesday.
I'm still adding and changing a lot of things for 0.8, to make it perfect. Teasers and more info are on the way. I will start posting them after 0.7.3 is released.
As for 0.9, I originally planned to release it as a single update, as you can see there, but since it's going to be a very large and content-heavy update, I'm still considering splitting it into two separate updates. Trying to release huge updates all at once burns me out. I don't want to repeat the mistake I made with the previous one. So, it might end up being two separate updates, but with the exact same content overall you see there.
I'll share more info about the later ones in the future. But everything is already planned out, down to the content. And this map tells you everything you need to know for now.

Well, my most important goal since I started this, to make a living doing this job...
If I can achieve this thanks to all of you, I will quit my day job and devote all the time I have to this. So there will be much longer, faster and better quality updates. I will also make my system much more powerful and make the number of animations much higher.

It's a dream for now, but if I can achieve this one day, I'll hire 2D/3D artists, programmers and voice actors who can help me with my projects, set up a cool game studio with dozens of mindblowing computers and start bigger ones!
