The Not Dev Update - 2024/08/09
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 10:10:10 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
It's been 2 weeks since the release of Chapter 5 and while not everything went as planned or imagined, I'm happy with the result overall.
And that's mostly thanks to you guys. The messages, the feedback, the morale support - all of that has been awesome and beyond my expectations.
Thanks a lot to every one of you!
I spent the past 2 weeks fixing a few things on the game (see the post for version 0.5.0.1), preparing the Steam release (damn, creating over 100 icons for achievements isn't fun after some point...), and as usual a bit time on DAZ trying out a few new things.
Additionally, I started planning out the scenes for Chapter 6 and looking into how to set up Renpy to provide update-only versions. I wanted to do that for Chapter 5 but fucked up the folder structure mid-development.
For Chapter 6 I plan to release an update-only version in addition to the full download so you don't have to download the whole thing again and again.
I'll spend next week with the preparations and planning needed for Chapter 6 and the (hopefully) last adjustments needed for Steam.
After that, I'll be on vacation with the family for 2 weeks (which is one of the reasons why I pushed the Steam release to September - I didn't want to release it just before my vacation) so the official start of the development will be the start of September.
I'll probably have done a bit of development/writing for Chapter 6 before that (in fact, I already have a bit right now) but I'll start setting up renders after I get back from vacation.
I'll probably make a post next Friday too so this won't be the last thing you hear from me before my vacation. :-)
Have a nice weekend, guys.
Cheers,
Ceolag

Sorry Bryan, totally forgot to answer. If you need help with the achievements, there's a walkthrough pinned in the Discord Spoilers Channel. Or feel free to ask there and we can help you out :-)

I'm missing just 3 achievements, I'm not sure how I managed to miss those considering how many saves I'm running, but I'll go back and get them as well at some stage.

hey Pax, You mean merge between the Patreon version and Steam? Yes. It'll either sync automatically when you're granted an achievement in the Steam version or you can use the "Sync Achievements" button in Preferences. That will also grant all Steam Achievements according to your game progress in the Patreon version

Update only versions are great, they save a lot of time. I'm going to restart the game and try to get the achievements that I missed the first time. The merge achievements function should work, right? Cheers.
