Release posted
Hi everyone,
The EP4 release has been posted for the Mega Bitch tier.
I ran into so many issues during the release that it took until today to get the "Friday" release out. I'm sorry to everyone who was waiting, but I appreciate the patience.
First, the last animations were not rendering correctly, and I had to wait for that. Next, I tried to apply some different compressions to the files to reduce the overall size (getting to be near 4GB in total now), but that was causing issues and was throwing errors when trying to unpack. I'll need to go back to the release process that I had been previously using.
Then on the final run through, I ran across scenes that were appearing out of order. I'm not sure how that happened, somehow I must have overwritten something while working late at night. So, I had to redo the QA which is taking increasingly longer due to the multiple paths and dependencies on earlier scene choices. That was tough given my day job, so I had to work late at night to get it done.
Going forward, I need to solve the release size issue by switching to supplemental packages, or something else. One of the priorities now is getting the online version up and running, which will avoid all of this.
We will also be switching to monthly releases as early as July. I feel like this release unblocks me to start moving forward again regularly.
Thanks,
Icarus
