Update~

Alrighty so! Future updates will be done on Fridays moving forward, since I'll be meeting with Nai and/or mod group on Tuesdays or Thursdays each week and I can update you guys on things that are going on. Atm I'm hesitant to set a static time because my sleep schedule is a hot mess (had a VERY late start today hence late update) but we'll see how things pan out.

Here's a starter list of things, group wise, that are going on.

Tomorrow I'll be meeting on general QoL stuff for the group so that's what will likely be in the next update. For example, adjustments to word count requirements for written prompts. We'll also be going over other areas where the mods feel they'd like to explore more autonomy.

Adjustments to max currency gain per month. Nothing drastic at first, mind, but we will be talking about it and seeing what's manageable. This would also open up options for mods to run extra prompt events that would otherwise exceed previous EC/AP caps.

Subtypes. These have always been kinda willy nilly in my head which led to some really wonky coding for traits, but we're working out a more cohesive structure for elnin subtypes that I'm excited to share with you guys in the future. An example of this was the recent change to undine tails (swapping from being subtype specific "undine" to "overwild (aquatic)" because they have not been completely tied to subtypes). I'll probably go into the reasoning of this particular change and what we'll see in the future for subtype vs overwild traits when we release more of that information later on. Currently there are 5 subtypes planned, with the next full release being either undine (slightly more likely) or djinn.

Side note: It's not my intent to paywall subtypes forever, but because they function sorta outside normal elnin standards they've needed some extra tuning and will need their own comprehensive trait guides before we can explore opening them up outside of regulated slots/official sales.


And as far as personal updates:

Hiding a bit. After posting I think I had a minor meltdown xD From just.. worrying about everything. I'm mostly talking with Nai to keep things hyper focused. I'll probably branch out a bit starting tomorrow if anyone has sent me a discord message and is wondering when I'll respond, I'll tentatively start then. Just. /wheezes. Intensely anxious you guys, I know there's so much to do and I want to do it, but I gotta take things in tiny bites or I'm just gonna choke again dflkgjdhflkjh. Tonight feels good though. We've got a plan. Just have to see it through. 

Streams. Would love to start again. Perhaps Wednesdays? Let's do a stream this Wednesday then. 5:30pm PST.

Heya Mana! I don't want to resend the discord message because I don't want to stress you out before your ready with something that would leave a notification on discord like that, but could you check my DMs? Silver-the-Wyrm#5502 No pressure though I have anxiety myself so I understand completely!

Waaah thank you so much for the update Mana !! Please take a good care for your health first, if you work slowly but still working, it's still good ! I know how things can be delayed because of health issues so really, so i really send you all my support dear ;; ♥ I wish you the best and hope you will feel better asap, you deserve it TwT Big love and hugs to you Mana !! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

One small step at time Mana ! When anxiety strikes you need to live small "victories", several small steps and tiny victories to gain back trust in yourself. Don't look too much at ALL that must be done, pick a very few small tasks and just focus on them and them only ♥ Take great care of you dear. I don't know if I speak for the whole community, but I really know that several of us just want to support you and you to fell better. ♥♥♥

(Just to further contextualize and clarify my post, patreon change specifics are not necessary! Just want to know if you are considering patreon benefits as a priority that needs to be evaluated and/or adressed; we're definitely aware that these changes would ALSO take time, but knowing that our patreon related frustrations and concerns are being properly voiced to you is very important)

To start with, thank you so much for the update; I am unsure if you're keeping up with the patreon chat, but we're definitely glad to see ALL of the changes/plans listed here, and is totally a great step in the right direction! I think this is a really good start, and I know we're all crossing our fingers that this schedule runs as promised. However, are any of the changes being thought on right now adjustments to the way the patreon works? Because logistically, any of these things will take months upon months of work and revisions, during which we, the patrons, would still have the same issue of only have a meager 7sc per month. Again, one of the biggest issues is that the patreon is not adequately attended to for the amount of money we have put in for the years we have been here, and while I do appreciate this update, I was definitely hoping to see some sort of indication that there would be any other benefit to make patrons want to atay around besides another promise we have no idea of knowing when or if it will be fulfilled. Like I said in my last post, I really do not intend to be harsh, but realistically the things outlined here will have no immediate or close (timeline wise) effect on the benefits of the patreon work. Especially since (as I also mentioned previously) not all of us are here for just sc, or just your work. I am personally here only because I need the sc to grow my kids, and while the ec chokehold release will definitely be a MASSIVELY appreciated change for the entire community, streams never have and probably never will have an effect on my "guaranteed" benefits towards pledging. Any currency addons to the patreon would be extremely appreciated. LIKE I AM 1000% just as unhappy as you probably are that my comment is littered with even further changes but after being here so long, I think it's 100% necessary to be as transparent about expectations or frustrations.
