Developer Talk - 0.2.2, Plans, Life

Hello there!

This day is special. Why? Because 0.2.2 was released!  Oh, it's also my birthday🎉

Special Offer + Policy

I'm going to create Valentine's theme wallpapers in a few days. It will be limited to this month's Patrons (I will also then send you codes for the previous month, as I already deleted the post with it). I know it's a few days late.😅 

As you might've noticed since December I started doing special offers each month. And that's a correct observation as I don't intend to stop. Take it as a reward for all continuous supporters, each month you get something unique, that will not be available ever again. To repeat - items from unique offers will NOT be available again. I'll think of something new each month to give you. For now, it was postcards, cards, and now, wallpapers. In the future, it might be other cards, wallpapers, physical items, but also - events, outfits, and more. I think of myself as a creative person, and I will put it to use.😎

Game Credits and Renders

ALL Patrons, present, and past can be added to the credits, so if you want to be there, and I recommend it - leave me a message saying it. Either on Patreon or if connected with Discord - you can also message me there. You can tell me what name or nickname you want there either in PM or in a comment, public channels, etc. Any way is fine. Credits are now shown on bad endings, so leave your footprint in the Astral Lust! Let everyone know your contribution! If you don't care for others, I'm always happy to have more of you listed there 😇

The same goes for renders available for Saint+ tier Patrons, if you want to get your own personalized render, leave me a message saying what you want to see on it. I will try to render it as fast as possible. Patrons that joined before new tiers, can also request them if they were Hypnotist or above tiers.

0.2.2

0.2.2 was released as Alpha, it will be Beta in 5 days, and Prerelease in 10 days, so 21st and 26th February. What I'm dropping now are patches for 0.2.1x, truth be told with this big update (300 animations, 700 images), the game became too big for my internet. My upload is simply not enough to upload it within a day, and my connection is so unstable that it drops my uploads every once in a while, on bad days every 3-4 hours. 

It's not a big problem, though. After my quarantine ends on the 20th, I will get new much faster internet within a week, and then I will be free to do what I wanted to do for a long time 😇

From Gracie's Nightmare - event decided by the poll.

I will upload full versions most probably after quarantine ends, at someone's else place, or with my new internet. I will try to upload Full HD and Android port in before that, though.

Web Updater

First of all, I can make web updater a reality, that's my greatest priority for the new connection, I talked about it at least thrice, so I won't repeat myself again, in short - it's a big benefit for all players like you. 

Web Port

My second plan is to make a web version, AL running on the web. Will it work? I don't know, lmao

 []~(￣▽￣)~*

Well I got it running locally already, but I don't know if AL is not too big for the web version, I guess I'll try and see the effects. At most I can release a low-quality version (the one used for android).

Android Full HD port

I also want to make High Res android port with Full HD renders, but this is if I happen to find a way around the android .apk limit I heard a lot about. 

Website

Another thing is a website. It's my next Patreon goal, and when it's reached I want to have most of it ready. But it was a long time since I did web dev, so I will hire a friend that does it for a living for most of his life. I want features like a place to upload mods to, see news, get Patreon perks, and more. 

TW: Warhammer 3

Why is it there? Because it's released tomorrow, and I want to play it😊I'm a fan of the series and can't wait to play daemons to conquer the world. So... Tomorrow I'm taking a day off, to play it with friends lol. 

Well, a day off for me doesn't mean the same as for the most. I will NOT ignore your messages, I can be contacted like always, and I will reply to discord messages. As for Patreon ones, it's a complicated thing. Sometimes Patreon doesn't tell me there are new messages at all, so if I don't reply to you, send me a dot or something. Also, I advise you to use Discord to contact me, I will get messages and reply much faster than through Patreon.
