Y'alloha!
I promised to make a dev log at some point this week, so here I am, making good on my promise (in most parts of the world).
It's likely not going to be a super long dev log, but I don't think any of you really want to see that anyway. Mainly, you're probably here to find out
how much longer the frickin' update takes before it's finally done. Right? I knew it. (There's a summary at the bottom in
bold and
italics)
So, with that in mind, let me start telling you about how my week was, what I had for breakfast this morning, and what flavor of Skittles I like the most in the next paragraph, right below the funky little dashed line right there ↓
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not gonna do that, of course.
Instead, here's some actual info about the state of the update:
If I had to put it in numbers (which I'm goint to have to do for Tuesday's (don't quote me on that) progress report on the Discord anyway) I'd say the update is
about 85% done. Meaning, it should be out within the next few weeks.
Initially I thought the time around Halloween might be a solid guess for when the update would be done - and it was at the time. However, since then, the update has gotten
some additional content, which took it to about
the length of 4 average updates.
With that in mind, I'm actually still going relatively fast. Faster than I would've usually created the same amount of content, if it was split across 4 individual updates, actually.
I would've been even faster, but this month has been quite annoying for me, in terms of distractions and obstructions. I've had to attend several social gatherings, including a wedding, a few birthdays, some family get-togethers, and the adoption of a new kitten. But not my new kitten, though I did get tempted to get one as well. I did refrain from doing so, though, cause otherwise the update wouldn't have been done before 2026, what with me being distracted by the kitten all the time lol
Besides the social stuff, there was also a nasty cold (thanks to people having to bring their toddlers to the wedding), which had me be less productive (though not completely unproductive, cause there's no rest for the wicked) for a few days. It's gone now, though, so we're back to business as usual, come tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I said it in the last dev log already, but I feel the need to emphasize it:
This kind of update won't become the norm. In fact, this will most likely be the only time I'll ever do it, cause between you and me, I really don't enjoy the process. I can't wait to go back to my roughly monthly updates. No clue how some of my colleagues can take half a year or more for each of their updates and not lose their minds. Well, I do know how some of them do it, but I'm not gonna get into that here. That would be mean.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway. To sum it up:
Update's about 85% done and should be out within the next few weeks.
I'm (mostly) happy and healthy.
Updates will go back to a roughly monthly release schedule afterwards.
---------------------------------------------------------------
And that's pretty much it for this progress report. It's not a long one but it should hold all the necessary information for now. If you have any other questions or comments or whatever, chuck 'em in the comments, or join the
