Weekly Rant : Patreon Visual Updates, Behind the Scenes Work, and Next Release! - May 17th 2024
🕑 Added 2024-05-17 21:05:59 +0000 UTCI'll be doing some updating to the visuals of the Patreon, but no one's going to lose rewards or anything like that. Cutting down on tier description length, making images comply with Patreon's updated guidelines., and other things like that. Just letting you know that things may look a bit different, but it's the same content you've been getting this whole time.
The next Update will be out on the 24th, about a week. The content is already done, but we need to put it in the game and then do some more Patreon compliance stuff. Mind you, we weren't creating anything that was outside of Patreon's guidelines before. It's just that with the clarifications we have had to spend a lot of time digesting everything in the game to make sure it's not going to ruffle any feathers when it comes to the new guidelines. That's around 1500 character/event images and over 85,000 words of dialogue.
Anyways, 99.5% of everything is fine. Of the remaining 0.5%, most of it was just typos we missed. There are a handful of instances where we altered phrasing to be more clear, but in those cases, the events/small talks are basically the same as they were before. Of 'actual' changes, one event so far has had an image added to it.
There's still about 15% of the game we need to review, and there's a backlog of changes we want to make, mostly of the typo and phrasing variety. I think this week we can probably get through the remaining review work and add some more of those changes/typo fixes into the game. Probably going to be a few more updates where you see "~Small changes to fit in new guidelines" in the changelog since it can be a pretty tedious task to work on.
And a huge thanks to my QA team for taking the brunt of the review work, there's no way I could have actually gone through everything alone and then done all the changes myself without doing a full-on break from normal content production for like a month. We've been able to do this in small chunks and still produce normal content thanks to them.
