Mid-week update: Delays (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I would be lying if I said that progress on Chapter 2 is going to plan right now – it is not.
 

As much as I enjoy working on it, XXXivilization is still a hobby for me and not a job. The last few weeks have been really busy and demanding at my day-time job, and while that is nice for me personally – as I’ve gotten to learn a lot of new things and work on an interesting project – it means that when I’ve gotten home from work some days that I’ve been too exhausted to get a lot done for XXXivilization.
 

I would have needed to burn myself out to get the beta-test phase started in early November as I planned originally, and I don't think that's in anyone's interest.

That means I will just give you a short update on how far things have progressed:

• Renders  –  Done, still need to be integrated into the game
   
• New maps  –  Done
   
• New events  –  Waiting on the texts of one writer, 1-2 minor events still missing, rest has the text written but still need to be integrated into the game
   
• New core mechanics  –  Done, but need further testing
   
• Other extensions (tech tree, units, etc.)  –  Mostly done, balancing still needed
   

Sorry if you find this news distressing. I’m doing the best I can. If you have any further questions I would be happy to answer them in the comments or in the games discord server.

Thanks for reading,
