Development News
🕑 Added 2019-03-20 23:55:17 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
given some recent events, we want to give you guys an update on the general development status of WT:Silver mod.
First off, some positive news. As some of you may already know, Mo has returned to the team.
We invited him back on and talked things out last month, and he’ll continue to write for the game as he did before.
Regarding the Patreon pages, they will both be used to support the project going forward.
The new one is the official page with all relevant goals and rewards attached to it while Mo’s page is kept active as something of a tip jar.
It just doesn’t make much sense for us to shut down the old page since it still generates traffic from various sites that link to it.
Sadly the past month has also seen a few members of the team suffer some pretty bad luck in life.
Without going into too much detail regarding personal and private matters, the situations could not have been predicted and will also require their full attention until they are resolved.
Put simply: parts of the team are temporarily unable to assist in development due to unfortunate and unavoidable Real Life Issues.
In addition, we reached the Patreon goal that was going to enable monthly updates.
This turned out to be a bit of a mixed blessing given our current situation.
As stated, we are not operating at full power, and even at full power we all have other obligations in our lives that we also need to take care of.
A development cycle of one month would therefore (at the moment) mean that the releases could either be stable *or* contain good content, but not both.
This is not a choice we want to make. We want you to enjoy our releases, and that means they have to be both fully functioning *and* have a good amount of quality game updates.
So: we are all very grateful for the support, but we have come to the conclusion that monthly updates are not something we can promise at the moment.
We will also pause outfit commissions starting next month. This will allow us to catch up on some commissions that are lagging behind, and also focus more on finishing the core content of the coming update.
On that note, our coders have been working their magic on implementing a new clothing and wardrobe system for the girls. It’s probably one of the most substantial and awesome overhauls so far, and will allow you to edit various things in even more detail than before.
While the functionality and UI will stay relatively the same, the underlying code is vastly different, allowing for customization far beyond what we previously thought was possible.
Cho will be the first girl to receive these updates in the coming patch. The rest will have to wait since it would be too much work to do them all in one go.
Please try it out once the system is online and give us any feedback you may have!
In connection with this system update, we are taking the opportunity to completely upgrade Cho and her clothes.
Beyond just Cho having a fully redrawn and graphically updated model, all her clothes have been equally upgraded to fit that model, including an amazing new set of school clothes.
Of course, we are also making efforts to expand the actual gameplay involving Cho, giving you more time to enjoy the visual updates.
We are very excited to share some teasers for all of this with you in the following days.

Sorry to hear some of you are having problems. Hope things work out well for them in the end. Quick updates are always something to be appreciated but the most important thing to me is the continued growth of the game so focusing what resources are available on that is totally fine in my book. Again, I hope everyone that are dealing with difficulties right now manages to safely work their way through them.

News is better than no news. If RL gets in the way it gets in the way. People can understand; well I hope people can understand.
