Good morrow, everybody, and well met!
A couple of general messages today. The first, is regarding last week's poll, and holy cow, I don't think I've seen such a landslide vote before. I guess if princesses don't work out, I know which property I'm adapting next time...
But anywho, the results are in and progress on her costume is under way! Next up, a general progress update. As far as bug fixes for the last release, I've been looking for a way to remove all duplicates from someone's inventory- and so far, I've been able to get it to remove all but two of the outfit. Which isn't what I want, but I guess it's kind of close. Progress! Plus, I've got a few bonus features under way to improve quality of life, or just to add some more nice flair to the game overall.
Regardless, those will take some time to implement- and in fact, I already have decided what exactly the next release will entail. But moving forward, I have a question for y'all!
Recently, a patron expressed some disappointment with the way that the beast storyline was released: specifically, the gap between the half that was released recently and the rest of the content that will come in presumably a few months. They suggested it would be more satisfying to release full content packs, such as beast's castle, rather than splitting it over two or more updates. And I understand where they're coming from; as a player of these games myself, I know the feeling of an exciting storyline being left still for months as I wait for a new update.
But, as a creator, I also need to factor in which methods bring in more attention to the page- as well as holding the attention of everyone here. For instance, I took a look back at the Olympus releases, which spanned two full updates of almost exclusively Olympus content. And it's still not done! If I had waited until everything in that pack was finished before releasing any of it, you guys wouldn't have heard from me in like a year, and that's no fun for anyone.
Either way though, I want to know what you all think- what's your ideal release schedule? Like I said, I'll consider other factors when deciding if I change the release schedule or not, but I'm curious what, in an ideal world, most of you would want from your Demigod Trainer releases. Vote down below, and I'll keep your thoughts in mind for the future!
I've got plenty of goodies to show off in the coming weeks, and a fun surprise planned I hope you'll all like. But I don't wanna let the pussy out of the bag!
I feel like that one is better left as 'cat'.
See you next Friday.
