0.1.4 Preview 3, MEGA, releases' day, release plan

Added 2021-03-14 22:01:00 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

Lately I posted a few polls so let's talk about them:

Most of you, like me lives in the UTC 0 to UTC +3. So I've decided the best hour for releases would be 23:00 (11 PM) UTC +1.

As for day, the best day for releases will be Saturday. So releases will come at Saturdays 11PM UTC+1.

This way it would be weekend for everyone. Because of this the public version of 0.1.3 will be out on 20.03. From then on the releases (bugfixes not included) will come on (my) Saturdays.

Additionally I decided to make Alpha releases available when the previous version becomes public. In other words, 0.1.4 is coming out on 20.03. This way I won't need to maintain a few versions of code at once.

The second poll I want to talk about is Mega or Google, 85% of you chosen Mega. As one smart cookie noted - Mega has a limit, it's not small, 4GB every few hours, but still a limit.

To mitigate this problem for all of you, I've shared over 10TB of my MEGA transfer with everyone downloading my files, so if you lack some transfer when downloading AL it'll use my shared transfer. No more waiting 4 hours to download the last few MB of the game.

For people that don't know how much it is:

10 TB = 10240GB = 3413 4K versions = 9309 1080p versions

Well, most people will download using their free limit, or only a part of the game will be downloaded with shared limit, so I expect it would last for much more downloads, still, when my Patreon grows I'll share more transfer.

Mega didn't explain how this feature works exactly so notify me if there are any problems.

Also, it seems Grace's Pool Dance was chosen in the poll to be the first goal scene, closely followed by Alice x Mina scene.
