Prince of Suburbia: Development Update (FML)!!!
🕑 Added 2022-01-05 02:10:29 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I apologize sincerely for what I must tell you now as the buck stops with me and the fact that V0.6 is not out yet is ultimately my fault and responsibility. Our coding progress woes continue...
THE BAD NEWS:
I'm going to give you the bad news first. The bad news is that polisummer has not responded to me for multiple days now, which is why there is no partial release. I hope he is doing alright. As we all already know, this leaves all of you and our staff in a lurch when it comes to releasing content.
Since I have not heard from him for multiple days now, I have no choice but to go nuclear as it's in your best interest and in the best interest of the rest of the staff. As depicted in the GIF above - my mentality is now: FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!
It's been terrible luck regarding the coding development of Prince of Suburbia the past ~5+ months. The only person developing NSFW games with worse luck that I know of is auxiliaryout who is now on his fourth programmer to try to create his own game. We've suffered from a lack of reliability where reliability used to be (or so we thought) the strongest link in the development chain. You can see the latest commits (code updates) that were pushed up to Github in the second image. It was so close to the finish line but it may as well have been on the other side of the universe.
If any of you ever have any aspirations of making your own games in the future, just know that finding reliable teammates is not a walk in the park by any stretch. Honestly, that probably goes for real life too. Hold onto those who are most reliable in work and in your personal lives. To the rest of the staff, and most importantly our patrons, thank you for your reliability!
THE GOOD NEWS:
I'm an optimist if you couldn't tell. I look for the silver lining where it is hard to see one as much as I can. The good news something I have alluded to in the past as a last resort. We have reached the last resort. I will be coding Prince of Suburbia myself.
This was the option that was something I tried to avoid when I was still working a full-time W-2 job because I thought the game would release faster if I hired help to code it after the last programmer was off our team. However, since I am working on the NSFW business full-time now as of a couple of weeks now, I have the time to turn the jets on and code this bitch.
For anyone wondering, "TheOmega, how are you going to code the game, are you even a programmer?" Thanks for asking. Yes, yes I am. I was a professional web developer and while I am not a Ren'Py expert I have been accumulating experience since working on the 3D game we plan to release in a month or two.
The biggest benefit of me coding the game myself now will be that I will more than likely be much faster than those on our staff before as it was part-time for them but it is now full-time for me. This means that we will reach the current content available with a full V0.6 release much faster than we would have otherwise given the current circumstances.
I will be going balls to the wall this month (starting tomorrow) to get us caught up as quickly as possible. Unless I'm on my death bed or severely ill, you will have the partial release this month. I can say this with confidence now because the only thing we are missing is the code. I can also say with confidence that you WILL have the FULL V0.6 update by the end of February at the latest.
I will be releasing a sneak peek of some content that will be in the coming update without trying to reveal too much. Thank you again for your support. We couldn't do this without you guys. Your patience will be rewarded.
-The Omega
