Progress update (Patreon)

Hello again!

Since my last update, I've been swamped both in my daytime job and on LSS, but I figured I'll share with you what I've been up to.

In my last update post, I've mentioned that I'll be looking into new infrastructures. I also said I might be going with Renpy and even asked for help.

A few people were very kind to reach out and offer to help!

One of them even made a small preview of LSS in Renpy, including Alex's Insta.

With that being said, there is something really underwhelming about Renpy to me. It's just not something I like doing.

First, I don't like the syntax one bit. It's just not appealing to me.

Second, those with a programming language will understand. Renpy doesn't have a way to attach a debugger to it, which is a real deal-breaker for me.

LSS is my side project and, more importantly, is my hobby that I'm very passionate about. Coding in Renpy will turn it into a chore and will make me lose interest.

And hiring someone who'll do the coding full-time is out of the question since (At least for me) it's crucial to see the game comes to life. And also, I usually change a lot of stuff while doing so letting someone else do that will just get in my way.

Ok, so now what?

I looked into different options (not Unity since I don't code in C#), and none appealed to me.

So I figured I'll try doing something myself, and that's what I've been doing since my last post.

I know it's not gonna be easy, and I'll run into issues on different platforms and devices, but I got to give this a chance.

What else?

First, I paused the payment cycle again, so no worries.

I've opened a new discord server! Right now, it's kinda meh with only 2 channels, but it will get better with time.

After Ann's post, I said I'm gonna do one for Vanessa. But I wanted to give you more news about the game itself before. That's why I've been pushing Vanessa's post a bit. But I'll do it!

I hope everything will stabilize soon, and I could bring you some new and fresh content!

For now, I wish you all the best and a happy 4th of July for my American friends!
