Art update 42
🕑 Added 2018-10-22 13:56:48 +0000 UTC Not the answer to life, the universe and everything.Biting off more than you can chew... is sorta how I've been feeling this last week! Since the coder needed some more time, I've been using that time to update and improve the pics I already had finished. Stuff which the coder can drop in a folder and not be concerned with implementing it since it's just images which will overwrite the older files. Easy peasy!
However, besides sending him some improved stuff, I've been working on a little side project. Honestly, I wanted to add another scene to the new build. I was sorta counting on it being able to find it's way in there and already mentioned it (vaguely) in another art update so I'm slightly bummed we can't put it in, but like I've told the coder myself several times already, it's pretty impressive he's been able to do as much as he already did.
I can assure you Fet would be looking for another artist if I'd have to split my time between taking care of a sick family member and drawing. Not because I wouldn't want to keep working on it, but because my mental energy would be completely depleted. I'm super happy things are looking to become a lot better for the coder and his mom. Of course I'll welcome a more stable release schedule, but 99,9% because the coder will be able to relax some more.
Anyway, I've been directing a lot of my time into my little side project. It's a small something which really could've used the coder's hands, but since those were already full, I've been doing some copy/pasting and the best I can using older scripts to cobble something together for.... Halloween!
It started out with a quick sketch and snowballed into what it is now... something which taught me once again feature creep is a real thing and can kill all of your time if you let it. Well, most of that is my inexperience at programming and it still had some buggy parts today which I think I got fixed now. There's still stuff which could use some small improvements, but meh it works.
Okay, this was honestly not something I was going to tell you guys yet since I wanted it to be a surprise and release it on the 30th or close to it without any warning. The reason why I'm telling you now is because things got messy with the dates.
We were planning on releasing the new build's bughunt version during the weekend, but although the coder was feeling pretty confident about getting it done by then, stuff's taking more time that he thought. Sooo that means another couple of days to get the bughunt version done, which means another couple of days before the early release, which means we're getting closer and closer to halloween. More so than I was counting on.
So I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide for us! Shall I release the Halloween game now so you'll have something to play with until we release the new build or should we just wait until the 30th? The Halloween game is pretty much done. Sure I could tinker some more with it, but it isn't really necessary.
Personally, playing these sort of games too early takes away a little from the experience, but I can really understand you guys wanting to get something new to play with rather sooner than later.
Apparently patreon has the ability to create actual polls, but I haven't been able to figure how to add it to a normal post and not make two seperate post so I'm going to create two comments to this post below. One saying "Upload the Halloween game now" and one saying "Upload it closer to the 31th." We'll do whichever comment gets liked the most.
I'll give the poll about 24 hours. If the majority of you guys want it rather sooner than later we'll immediately release it after the 24 hours. If not we'll wait 'til the 30th!
Working on it was fun(and frustrating at times) and I hope you guys will have some fun with it too. It took way too much time for what you'll get, but I learned quite a few things during the proces so it's not wasted time. I think I'll be in a much better position to help the coder find and deal with bugs in the future.
I've also been working hard at the files for the build after the one we'll release this month and I've already done a large part for it. I wouldn't have started this side project if I hadn't! Of course all of it backed up on my external harddisk. I'd be way too nervous if I hadn't.
One of the scenes which won't be in the next build but which I've been working on is a June scene. It's going to be vaginal and getting it to work with pubes gave me a major headache. the pubes version is now my favorite, but that's probably more because it's pretty unique to have such a scene in FET.
Anyway, things are coming along but always a tad slower than we want. It won't be too much longer before we can let the bughunters have their way with the new build though and hopefully there won't be anything crazy in there bug-wise. Sexy-wise it can get all sorts of crazy.
On a sidenote. All of my files were missing yesterday... and I didn't freak out because I had backed up everything the other day. That was at least what I was telling myself as the cold sweat started to pour down my face! Long story short: I think I did a cut/paste instead of a copy/paste. So nothing was lost except a few years of my life as I was fearing the worst of possibilities. Yay!
That's all for now, sorry for the extra delay and we're super curious what the results of the poll will be.
ps. I think I've finally killed whatever caused a two minute delay(at the very least) to copy/cut files as small as 100 kb on my desktop. It has been the cause of quite some swearing and frustration so it'll be nice if it stays dead!
That's all! Don't forget to vote if you care one way or another.

And, ladies and gentlemen, this is why we always always always back up our files π€
MITY
Actually, we were expecting the results to be a lot more evenly matched! We do like it better when there's a clear preference one way or the other though.
MITY
Good point! Most seem to agree with it so we've uploaded it for anyone out there who wants/needs to try it early.
MITY
Can't go wrong with that :) Thanks!
MITY
Glad to hear you want to play it asap, but don't be hype! It's way too small for that!

Lol, our Halloween game is more of a little trickling stream though ;)
MITY
I don't think I'd have the willpower, but nevertheless the poll's results are clear so that's what they'll have to do.
MITY
Thanks Bookishjon! We truly appreciate all of you guys' support and we're not lying when we say we feel bad whenever stuff gets postponed so consider this little extra an apology : ) We hope you'll like it.

Good times ahead!
MITY
Lol, that's what we went with in the end :)
MITY
... and shwifty?
MITY
No prob :) !

90/30 in favor of releasing it so that's what we've done(five minutes) ago. My preference would be to release it during the actual holiday, but we also really like giving you guys something to play with as we keep working on the real thing. Anyway thanks for being so understanding when it comes to stuff taking time. We always do our best to not keep people waiting but rl can get pretty chaotic sometimes.
MITY
I've been doing a lot at once to try and solve the delay problem, but I suspect it was an email client I had installed which was messing up things. Not certain though.

Release the Halloween game now please

in the words of Treebeard! "RELEASE THE RIVER!"
I vote release it now and let people decide for themselves when to play it.
Bookishjon
Wow, Mity, You guys have a customer for life! I figured you were going to update with saying it was taking a little longer because the coder needed to do some more family stuff, which I was all set to understand because family>everything else. Instead, I find out that you were still working all this time on an awesome looking Halloween game?! You guys are fantastic! My personal vote is release the game now, It's still quite close to Halloween, so I think it's a wonderful time! Anyway, keep up the great work!

I'd prefer the 31st, mainly to fit the time of the season.

Needless to say, that Mity won't be so surprised about the poll result ;-)

I'd love to play it ASAP
I'd say now, to give us something to chew on before the main course ^-^

I say release it now, because really... the people who would rather play it closer to Halloween can simply wait to play it, but some of the people who want it early(myself included) are probably going to be busy in the time leading up to Halloween, and it would be nice to give them a chance to play the Halloween game before the season is over.

IMO, release now and those who feel like waiting have the choice of not downloading... Why should they decide for the rest of us? :-)
release now
Time to get spooky

Honestly I don't mind waiting. It feels a waste to have something meant for a holiday released early.. But I'm glad to hear things are calming down over there. Like I've said in previous comments, I don't mind waiting if you need an extra month or so to get things right, and it appears you need that time now more than ever. That picture is very bewitching though.. I think I might save that to my personal folders.

YIPPIIEEEEEEEE !!! THANK YOU :)

I say release it now. Give people something to play with while we wait for Halloween.
Kuriko Balasar
I'm super curious as to what was causing that delay in copypasting, NGL. ...but yeah, releasing now would be amazeballs.
Zana
Usually I'd say release it closer to Halloween. But, since you've also got an update coming out, I'd release it now. 1. So people can focus on this and give you time to finish the main update. 2. Releasing it simultaneously might confuse some and/or it might be easier to focus on the bugs for the main game if the Halloween thing has already been out and people can focus on the technical issues.

What i just gor here checking second too early..
MITY
Upload it closer to the 31th.

Upload the Halloween game now!
