DoL Progress + Remaining Builds Schedule
🕑 Added 2020-01-10 21:39:05 +0000 UTCAlright, I'm going to keep the progress report bit short. Despite the fact that I'm still not back to 100% (lingering cough and energy levels are only, like, 70%), I managed to finish the Default True Ending for the Mental - Sub path in the typical 3 days. I'll be starting on the Lewdity version of the Mental- Sub path tonight. Unfortunately, with the three days that will take, plus the time needed for testing and editing, those three are likely going to be all that makes it into this build. Possibly along with some clean-up of the Appearance/Character Menu if I have time. I wanted to get 4 True Endings in this month but being sick for so long utterly fucked that plan. Sorry :-(.
----------------------
Having said that, it also kinda screwed up my overall timeline. Originally, back when I started up DoL, it was supposed to be 12 Builds long in total. One build a month, twelve months, a project completely finished in one year. Now, due to both my expansion on DoL's room sizes as I went and my underestimating the time the True Endings take, I'd actually realized back in November that I was actually going to need 13 Builds. I was, up until this month, planning for that to be the case. 13 Builds, with the final one being in March.
However, that was with 4 True Endings being finished in January, which isn't happening, and which is going to fuck things up. True Endings simply can't be crunched into smaller timeframes than I'm using and I'm already pouring more hours into them than I can really afford to. The result is that what we're looking at is probably 13.5 or 14 total builds. My revised schedule is looking like this (it's still subject to change, this is the tentative plan).
Build 12( February) - Next Asari Room + Asari Village and Village Ending + Two True Endings (determined via Focus Poll).
Build 13 (March) - 3 True Endings + All Remaining Safeword Endings
Build 14 (April) - Final Build, 3 True Endings + All Remaining Cleanup issues (possibly including a new, better, piece of cover art).
Had I been able to do the extra True Ending this month, I was going to split the remaining rooms between the final two builds, plus do 4 True Endings each month. Which would have been a strain, particularly in February with it being a short month, but it was theoretically possible. The new schedule is gentler on me, which I'm grateful for, but it does mean slightly smaller-content builds than usual in order to balance the remaining builds out, which I'm frustrated by. Thankfully, I'll also be releasing the first build of Chastity Quest this month, with the second build being either in February (hopefully) or March (at worst), so I don't feel like I'm cheating you guys :-). I just hate my timeline getting repeatedly pushed back like this >_<
