Lol, it's always funny to read comments here from people with obviously limited understanding and knowledge both of art programs and art in general, trying to discuss detailed stuff about it like experts.
First you should see what this "feature" is about and then judge. The feature itself also doesn't take that much time like it looks at the moment.
Damn, I'm late to the party.
Just a small suggestion- Why not add another progress bar for the development of this new feature, so that the current one isn't rendered entirely useless and your supporters aren't completely tapping in the dark regarding the release of 0.155? I mean, your unmatched expertise, wisdom and knowledge in art programs and art in general surely would allow you to come up with precise estimates and percentages of the current progress for this new feature, no? Doing that wouldn't take away from your vague statements about what it is either, right?
Anyway, even though the new feature apparently doesn't take you that much time, but does take you that much time...wait..uhm..Yeah, I guess it's gonna be a massive thing as people will be super thankful and appreciative of it as you said it yourself, right?...RIGHT? I mean it must be, seeing that even the several super skilled artists you've found as mentioned in previous statements abandoned you for some reason. It surely has nothing to do with yourself. You are the hero of this story, obviously, and such a lovely human being.
Not that I'd expect an answer here as his unmatched expertise, wisdom and knowledge in art programs and art in general is used elsewhere, and only one of his many talents. Another one of them is him being an expert at dodging any important questions regarding development processes. He's such a cheeky little ninja, isn't he!
