Weekly update #4 - Final blogpost before update release
Added 2024-12-29 19:47:19 +0000 UTCHey all,
It's going to be a quick one today, because I don't have much more to add : I'm now in the release process.
Unsurprisingly, in this busy period with family gatherings and such I haven't been able to progress as much as I would have wanted but the goal deadline remains the same, so expect the release in the next few days.
A bit like Facegram receiving a bunch of new features in the previous one, this time the ManyFans app has been, in some parts, pretty much remade from the ground up !
Initially, I scrapped some new mechanics I intended to implement, then decided on a couple of new features to compensate, then it has blown up a bit requiring a lot of work on the code, which is mostly what I've been working on lately.
Anyway, a reworked app with a bunch of new features require a lot of extensive testing, as it also impacts the previous parts of the story involving the app. I also need to accomodate the edge cases, and the rare scenarios where player would try to do stuff they aren't supposed to do at certain points of the storyline... the usual !
Here's the updated progress chart :
As you can see, only coding has a remaining buffer for the testing/debugging/bugfixing/release. I try to be thorough because with how tedious the whole release process is, I'd rather not have to push hotfix builds.
Thank you so much for the support, and hang in there, because the next post will be the the update release !
