Updates
🕑 Added 2017-07-18 19:53:23 +0000 UTC Sorry I've been silent! I've been meaning to post an update for the last several days, but I kept procrastinating it. Without further excuse...Version 1.7
I have two new locations built (The beach house image for this post is the second one, stupid thing took something like 8-10 hours -_-) and 25 renders so far for Naomi's Beach Date. Which...isn't anywhere near done, actually. Being me, I decided to try something different with the date and the net result is going to be that the vast majority of all renders for the month (possibly flat out all of them) are going toward the date. Which will hopefully be awesome.
Building the two locations was much more time consuming than renders, so with those done the speed of new renders per-day will pick up. I don't anticipate any problems getting the renders done on time...the coding on the other hand... Well, what I'm planning is likely going to be the single most complex coding in the game so far. I'm planning at least an extra day this month for the code, so hopefully it will be alright.
The Short Story
Jaylee is in the middle of getting a new day job, but she's made solid progress on the short story. She's hoping it will be done this week. At which point I'll need to beta read it for her...and I have a job interview for a possible position this week as well, so who know what will happen! Hopefully, it will be out this week or early next week...
The Patreon Page
So...the handful of people who voted one way or another about what I do with the Patreon Page votes 4 to 2 for changing things over to a tip jar approach. To be honest, I expected that to come out ahead for various reasons. Given that I, myself, have been leaning in that direction, I've decided it's the right choice. Exactly what that means will be the subject of a public post sometime later this month...once I figure it all out myself. I want to still be able to reward those who contribute more with something extra, after all, simply as a thank you.
One way or another, the CURRENT methodology will not end until all rewards are delivered. As part of that is the 1 month early release for supporters of the $5+ tiers, the complete switch over will not be until the release of either version 1.8 or the 1st of September, whichever comes first. Change over of the other rewards, not related to early release access, may happen before then..or maybe not. Again, I'll post more details as I actually get It all sorted out.
