Good morning,

Friday again and time to give you a review of the past week.It started with me continuing the work on the fortress map. I did some tests and not everything worked out as I had envisioned it, because of that I wasn't able to finish that last Friday and it took a good part of Monday as well.

Tuesday I then decided to finally finish the implementation of the 4 new animations I already made. I also added some new equipment for the party members.Balancing the strength of enemies is still something I didn't put enough time in... But the idea that I have is that you would be able to defeat the next stage of enemies when you face them when being equipped with the previous armor tier...Then in the area of the new enemies you will find a new set which makes the current enemies easy to fight and helps for the next tier and so on.Obviously that isn't the case at the moment and the talent system makes it even harder as you can thereby get extra defenese or attack values. I hope that with the next rework update I have enough time to get closer to my vision for such a tier based enemy system.

The next part on my to do list was to work on the inner camp. For that I needed some additional sprites and models. Also the original map I made didn't satisfy me. Because of that I edited it a bit further and rendered some additional furniture.

Yesterday I then finally worked on some more animations, which took the whole day.And now it's Friday already...It's always shocking to me how quickly a whole week is gone. And yes, I'm not even close to where I wanted to be in terms of progress.The end event is still missing and also the aftermath.And then there is the additional content for Tia & Katherin that I want to add to somewhat conclude the story for which I'm still missing some animations/transition images.So time to be realistic. It's not possible to complete that today. I still have today and Monday+Tuesday before the month ends. As promised before I will release an update before the time is up, which means I will release an update on Tuesday.But that won't be the full 0.5.3.0 update. Still I will get it to a point where you can complete the quest. But the part with Tia & Katherin bonding a bit further won't be included. That has to be done right and I want to take the appropriate time for it. Fortunately, I have 2 weeks left in February to keep working and get it to a point where I'm satisfied.As said before you will get all content I make in February for free if your subscription is still active by the end of January. I will pause billing on January 31th for a month. If you've missed that info check the last Friday report (here).You won't be able to subscribe during February.

Ok, now time to continue working!I wish you all a nice weekend!

I'd rather wait for the full update even if I gotta wait longer while your on vacation. It be better then left on a cliffhanger.

Herugrim

Thanks for the update, as always. I think someone asked it already in your vacation post, but is there a way to "pay" February anyway? So that you can enjoy your vacation time but don't have to suffer a loss of income, since that would hit double - you lose income and you spend money on vacation time. If there is simply a method to just pay for February anyway, or pay 1 extra month to compensate, that would be great.

Chyos

If that is what you want to do then you can increase your subscription for one month. The field where you subscribe should be freely editable so you can enter any value you want.

Chyos

Yeah, understandable. I just want to give something to those who only subscribed for January. This might also work as a good test update to fix some bugs that will probably be in there. If you want to have the update in full just wait a bit longer until I release the rest of it in February.

Herugrim

Ah yes, I found it, so I can freely change that to what I want (as long as not lower than what currently paying of course). Perfect!

Herugrim

Maybe a bit random but, do you notice a difference between monthly payment or annual payment? I can see that annual has a discount, but I guess the benefit is you get the money up front? So you can invest in things now instead of in the future. Is the preference of receiving the money up front a big enough advantage to allow for the discount?

I don't think you should pause February payments, you've been working so long without break that you deserve to have paid time off. You work way harder than most NSFW devs so you should enjoy the fruits of your labor, I doubt any reasonable people would complain about you charging for February despite taking a vacation.

Chyos

I appreciate that you see it that way, but I would feel bad if I charged for 2 weeks for something I don't provide. When I pause it is the opposite and I see it as a way to thank you all for your support.

Per Vers

Have a nice holyday i february. You deserve it. Thank you hard worikng man

Jontyllis

Is there a way that we can chip in what would be our normal monthly payment if we want to?

Chyos

It is possible. I explained it to Herugrim in the comment above.

Hey i just saw that my contribution went from about 5 Euros to a little above 1.5 Euros, is that because of some change in the billings, my billing went down by 1/4, that is not so good! i just only noticed.

Chyos

Billing is now paused. which means you get a free Month from now on should your subscription be active. (otherwise you couldn't see this here anyway) ;) This also means subscribing is at the moment impossible.

Kevin Daley

Have a nice vacation. Rest well

Chyos

vacation comes on the 13th...until then there is still a lot to do for Tia's update and Bianca's bonus scene.

Tatanka

Don't work too much, we told you this already in Discord 😋

Chyos

I'm really sorry but I have to delay the release of the test version by one more day (Will be released on the 01.02. at some point when it's done). As of now it's almost midnight here and I can't focus enough to get the last strings connected. Tomorrow this will be 100% possible as not much is missing for the 0.5.2.9 version.
