Cleaning Up After 0.6.3.0 (Patreon)

Good afternoon,

The week is drawing to a close once again, so it’s time to take a quick look back and put what I’ve accomplished into words.

In short, I spent most of the week fixing bugs. As expected, version 0.6.3.0 came with quite a few of them. By Saturday morning, I had already fixed the first batch, but of course, that was only the tip of the iceberg. I continued working on them on Monday, and while the version I eventually released was mostly free of bugs, there were still a few minor issues left. After that, I squeezed in the walkthrough update before getting back to bug fixing.

For version 0.6.3.0a, which I released yesterday, I took a little more time. Over the course of the past month, quite a few bug reports had accumulated on Discord/in PM's, including some that weren’t even related to the latest update. So I went through them one by one and worked my way down the list. Once again, thank you for all your reports! I always try to fix bugs as quickly as possible, but since I really wanted to get the update finished last Friday, I had to put everything else on hold for a while.

Anyway, it took some time to work through everything, but before releasing the update, I also wanted to implement the last few animations I had been working on however, due to time constraints, they didn't make it into the first release last Friday... One was a kissing animation with Tia while she is pregnant, and the other was an animation featuring Nyra and an Orc.

The latter also required a way for women to be sent to the Orcs again. Since Dasan no longer listens to the MC after his second defeat, I had to introduce a new event that makes him do so automatically. He now randomly selects one of the women (Slightly higher chance to target Nyra), although Tia can only be chosen if she isn’t pregnant.

To be honest, even this still isn’t quite finished... I had also planned to incorporate Katherin and Nyra’s animations, as well as the sprite animations for Ayita and Raaisha which you can see during the showdown event, into their daily routines. The problem is that this would create overlaps with the fire scene, which would then require me to create additional animations for that scene as well... and no... I'm not doing that for now... this update took long enough.So I’ve decided against it for now. Perhaps I can reuse them as part of a future bonus scene and still find a way to implement them later. We’ll see. For now, I’d really like to take a step back from everything involving Rumah. The past few weeks, especially, have taken quite a toll on my energy and nerves. So it’s good that we’re finally moving on to some other characters for a while.

Which brings us to what I finally started working on today: the bonus scene for Kate and Frisha!

I’ve already started working on a new outfit for Kate, although I haven’t finished it yet. I would have liked to have a pinup image ready for today’s post, but unfortunately, I didn’t get far enough with it. You can look forward to seeing it next week, though!

In general, I’m planning to spend a lot of time working on animations and individual images again next week. After all the writing and coding over the past few weeks, that will be a welcome change of pace. I hope that by then I can also estimate how much longer making the bonus scene will take.

@Mayor: There will also be another bonus scene poll next week. If you already have ideas for a new scene, feel free to send them to me via PM or share them directly in the #extra-scene-discussion channel on Discord.

Next week, I’ll discuss the suggestions you’ve submitted, along with a few ideas of my own, with you on Discord. We’ll then hold another vote, and the winning suggestion will be added to the bonus scene poll.

So, that's all for this week. I wish you all a nice and relaxing weekend!
