Hey! The dog thing. I was talking about the future updates and i'll stick to it, there won't be release dates announced any more. Now. How can I make this right for you? Let's work it out, i know it's frustrating.
because it's not a playable game, otherwise it would've been released already.
i know i come across like someone who delays shit out of boredom or laziness, but the reality is that the game has become much bigger. It's hard to test, hard to debug, and super hard to get everything working on time, especially during these difficult times when i can't work full-time on the game anymore.
To 'place' that idea, add 'watching porn' to your schedule and choose 'sissy hypno' category. It works like 4 times out of 10.
You can completely ignore Master Mode in this test build, it doesn't work, and no, it won't do all that black screen crap in the release version. I'm aware of those bugs. Thank you for your time!
Guys, i'm working on it, i'm aware of all the bugs that are making the game unplayable. I fucked up, yes. do i deserve the hate? fuck yea. wanna try this messed up build? hit me up on X/Twitter. i'm releasing it as soon as it's done. I'm sorry, but apologizing won't cut it anymore, so i'll focus on work. If u don't have twitter, that's even better, because u won't waste ur time.
Because of that last-minute bug I found, this release will not be good, I mean it. It's not ready for early access, so if you were thinking about buying it after this drops, DO NOT. Wait a little bit, I'm gonna be working on this for a while, probably a couple more weeks, to make it ready for everyone to play.
No one expected this unfortunate situation, it's completely my fault though. I should've tested it myself. For those of you who would like to help me out with this, hit me up on X, and I'll give you a test build so you can see how bad it actually is. Hopefully, you can provide some useful bug reports. It doesn't make sense to release it as-is, nothing is working as it should. Progress is all fucked up, and things aren't getting saved. Right now, I'm rebuilding the save system from scratch and testing every feature to ensure they work properly. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fix everything. I tested it all night and found over 200 bugs, and the most frustrating part is that nothing is getting saved.
Hit me up on X to get a test build if you want, because I really need your feedback right now.
DO NOT BUY THE GAME RIGHT NOW. Wait until I have a working version. If you just want to support me, go ahead, I appreciate it. Thank you so much, your support means a lot!
Hey guys. I'll drop it first thing in the morning. If it's like 7:05 AM and it's not out yet, don't freak out, I'm probably just finishing the release post. Thanks!
EDIT: We're doing a limited release, so don't expect any release posts today. Unfortunately, there are still problems with the game, and I need your help with testing.
i have to provide release dates at some point. These days i'm trying not to guess and be more professional with my work structure so i can be certain about when i can comfortably release an update. It's just situations like this are hard to predict. In the future, i'll set my own deadline for a week before the actual deadline so i have some wiggle room if i have to fix potential fuckups like this. Sorry for letting you down, it's coming within 48 hours.
The problem with new character slots is that it's a core functionality, everything was built around it. I didn't implement it yesterday or last week, it was one of the first things i did when i started working on 1.5.0-a3. As i mentioned, it was running pretty smoothly until I started testing full simulations (simulating all 10-20 characters at once), it mostly affects rooms and other locations i was about to introduce in this update. Right now, i'm testing to find out what else is being affected by it. I'm going to disable those features, fix this bug, and roll out the update. After that i'll just gradually enable everything with a few more updates i've got planned for the rest of this month and december. You're not wrong to suggest it, but i can't just switch back to the 5-slot system like it was before, that would require some work, maybe even a lotta work, and i'm trying to minimize that.
it's not that simple, unfortunately. IDs are getting mixed up somewhere, and there's probably more to it. if it's not fixable as is, i'll quickly rebuild it from scratch. and since It's still in early development, and there's a lotta quick n dirty prototyping going on. i need to start fixing all that, it's starting to give me a hard time.
i'm really sorry 😭. hit me up on X, i'll send you a key for free and refund you.
Also, to everyone else who suffered today because of my fuckup and stayed late due to my time zone, feel free to reach out. if your purchase is less than a month old, i'll refund you, otherwise i probably already spent it on food 🥪
i just need to stfu about exact times for updates, that's it. make sure it works and then set it for 6:00pm or whatever. obviously i need to do final testing well before the release day. everything else seems to be working tho. i'll fix it.
Hey guys. The update will be delayed for about 24 hours (48 hours max). I increased character creation limit from 5 to 20, it was a highly requested feature for a while now. It's been tested a lot, not just by me, and everything was working pretty good until i changed how rooms get saved/loaded because it wasn't efficient before. While final 'stress testing' today, i found a critical bug. There's a major conflict going on somewhere in there, because rooms are loading completely randomly which leads to crashes, it's basically a coin flip, and i have no fucking idea what the fuck is going on. I thought i fixed it a long time ago, but it's still there, something else is causing it, but it's directly tied to new character save slots, so i've been banging my fucking head against the wall trying to figure it out for 3 hours almost, and i just can't figure it out, i need to step away for a little. It's just counterproductive searching for a bug when you're this exhausted and about to fucking destroy your PC. Just need a few hours away from my computer, then i'll get back to it and hopefully fix it, if not, i'll have to decrease the limit back to 5, which would suck. I could release a buggy update, where stats don't update properly, progress is not being tracked right, etc, but i can't release something that crashes like this. I'm sorry about that. For future updates, i wont set an exact time unless i'm 100% sure everything is more or less working. Feel free to throw tomatoes at me, let it all out, i deserve it. Still getting this fucking update out tho. ✌️
a few hours delay, but it will be out before midnight. I found a few bugs causing crashes, and now i'm fucking paranoid there might be more. sorry about that.
